Hotline and Transport

Volunteers are only asked to spend a few hours per week answering phone calls from the comfort of their home to help coordinate care for wildlife. Transporting is also a crucial way to assist. Training is included and a support network is always available to help.
Volunteering for the hotline or transporting gives you the satisfaction of knowing you helped wildlife that may not survive otherwise get the help it needs to thrive.

Wildlife Rehabilitation

Want to help directly with wildlife? You can assist a rehabilitator or become one. It takes a village to raise all the orphans that are found. Even volunteering for a few hours a week (or even a month) greatly helps with the care of the animals. There are plenty of things to help with from food prep, feeding babies, cleaning cages, enrichment, etc.
