I'm a rescuer. I often take in abandoned baby ducklings at a park near my house cuz the fountain there is a duckling death trap, but the city refuses to put in any rocks or a ramp cuz "it'll tarnish the fountain's artistic appeal". 🙄 The wildlife center staff have always been very professional, very kind, and helpful in these situations. They've probably taken in dozens of abandoned baby ducklings I have had to save. MASSIVE DISCLAIMER: They only take native wildlife. If it's an invasive species, they will not accept it.

Very helpful! We found an injured baby dove walking our dog and called them. They took it in right away and were great...

This place put down the squirrel I brought them because of an “overbite”. Not a day goes by I don’t regret bringing this precious little guy I wanted to save and give a full life too. They suppressed this info from me for months as well. Use with great caution. Its just a factory.

Laura is a killer. Do not take your wild life to them. They took my opossum under false pretenses of having a vet look at him, with no intentions of returning him back to me. I hope they all burn in hell.

Honestly, I don't know if I did the right thing bringing in a slightly injured crow that hours before was hobbling around, but happily drinking water and munching on seeds. The foot look damaged and the wing might have been affected as well. Brought it in to the Wildlife Center and the one staff member that I spoke with was kind and friendly. He brought the caged crow in while I waited to get my cage back. 3 minutes later, he came out and said the vet informed him that the crow had Avian Pox that was highly contagious. I asked if it was curable and could the crow be rehabilitated. He said no and that its condition would continue to worsen and it was in pain. (that bird had been at my next door neighbor's home eating and drinking happily before it came over to our house.) Part of me regrets bringing it in if it might have had a slightly better chance of recuperating and still have more days to live. After speaking to others who also brought in injured wildlife, it seems like most of the common birds and tiny critters don't make it, while special care is given to birds of prey and other heartier animals. Wondering what percentage of wildlife are actually saved and which are put to sleep/death when admitted.

This cavity nesting bird had fallen out of its roost by the Great America Amtrak station. We called the WCSV staff who helped with intake, and we learned that they’re actively tracking colonies of endangered bird species (including this one). Other humane centers recommended WCSV for wildlife intake.
