Becoming a Licensed Wildlife Rehabber
Recruitment of Future Rehabbers
Interested In Rehabbing!
Are you considering becoming a State licensed volunteer wildlife rehabilitator?
Be aware: This is an unpaid volunteer commitment where you will personally finance critical care resources!
You will invest your own financial resources in essential supplies like specialized animal formula, nutritional food, professional-grade incubators, specialized caging, outdoor habitats, veterinary treatments, and medical supplies!
You will frequently encounter critically ill, severely injured, or terminally wounded animals, and sometimes must make difficult euthanasia decisions!
Your daily routine will involve constant animal care: round-the-clock feeding schedules, maintaining hygienic living environments, and continuously sanitizing feeding and bedding equipment!
Personal plans and social commitments will become secondary, as vulnerable wildlife will depend entirely on your dedicated care and attention!
You must rigorously adhere to state wildlife rehabilitation regulations, even when you personally disagree with specific protocols!
You will interface with stressed finders seeking immediate solutions to wildlife emergencies, often experiencing their frustration and emotional distress!
Despite providing professional-level care without financial compensation and investing significant personal resources, the public will still expect you to resolve every wildlife crisis immediately!
Are you truly prepared for this challenging commitment?

Support to Future Rehabbers and New Rehabbers
Awareness of Licensed Rehabbers
Making our communities aware of the illegality of possessing wildlife and harm to wildlife, the existence of licensed wildlife rehabbers, and how to help them either by becoming one, volunteering or donating to them.
Without You, We Can't Help!
Without your donations, our Center would not exist to help future rehabbers and new rehabbers as they start their journey. Please check how you can volunteer or donate on our Help Us page.
During the future rehabber's process of getting their license, we are there to help with any hiccups or questions they may have. We help them connect with mentors and assist them to prepared for rehabbing on their own.
We assist them getting supplies and cages from donations we receive. We also connect them with resources they can apply for; incubators, nests, fur hammocks, etc.
We are hoping to grow so that we may also offer assistance with becoming a non-profit to interested rehabbers and help them create their own websites.
