➸ Making Room for Other Roots: Wildlife Rehabilitation/Rescue List

soilrockslove:

Because I think this is good information to have:

This is a list of places (by city) to contact if you find an animal that looks really injured/sick/young and alone*. These are people who will get the problem fixed and give the animal a safe place to stay until it can go back out into the wild.

*Note - sometimes young animals are less alone than they appear to be - and in general, for wild animals, a close experience with humans can be scary/traumatic, so use your senses and mind to figure out the situation.

This page has phone numbers for Burlingame, Palo Alto, and San Francisco, California. I used to work at the Palo Alto one and they were amazing. They even had people in a raptor program who would take injured raptors into their home and then have a big raptor release day where they set them free again. We also had an owl who couldn’t be released so he stayed with someone permanently and became good enough around people that they brought him to educational events: http://www.peninsulahumanesociety.org/services/wild.html They used to have their own name and website but it redirects to that page now.
