Such an amazing group on individuals working together to help rescue and rehab animals from the wild. We recently rescued a Cooper’s Hawk and dropped it at the Hospital. Not only did they get Southwick (not official name) get rehabbed for release but they also called us to be there when released back in the wild. Thank you for everything you do!

My family and I brought in baby squirrels that were abandoned by their mom. We took them here and they were able to be rehabilitated and set back into the wild. All of the people were super kind and understanding and always had a warm smile on their faces.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience. We had a birdhouse that was attacked by some type of predator. The baby sparrow in the house was still alive, and after not seeing the parents for several days, I decided to take the baby sparrow here. That was two weeks ago, and just received an update that they decided not to try and rehabilitate it because it's considered an invasive species. I was not advised when I dropped the bird off that they would do nothing! If I had known, I would have tried to help the poor baby bird myself. The outcome probably would have been the same, but it would have had a better chance of survival with me. The kicker is that after reading this disturbing update, they had the nerve to ask for a donation to honor the bird!

I have taken more rescued animals than I can count to this place. While I am pretty adept and knowledgeable about keeping them alive, once it comes time for them to transition back into nature, that’s where I struggle. Ohio Wildlife Center staff is ALWAYS so kind and seemingly grateful for those who care about displaced and injured wildlife. I drive over an hour to go here when an animal is in need because there’s no where else I trust.

Took in a squirrel that had been caught in a rat trap. After they took the squirrel, they would not let me say goodbye to it. It appeared to have some problems with motor functions. I advised that if they were going to put it down that I would keep it and care for it. They told me that I was not allowed to do that unless I had taken classes and become licensed and that would take 2 to 3 months. They told me that they would email and let me know the status of the squirrel and that might take a couple weeks. It has been over a month and I have heard nothing. I regret taking the squirrel there and wish I had just kept it and cared for it on my own. Typical state run bureaucracy. The squirrels in my yard are very important to me, but that didn’t even warrant an update I guess.

If you ever find any injured or baby animals, leave them here, I'm sure they will be in safe hands. My recent experience of leaving a stray gosling here was good and informative. Highly recommend this place without a doubt.
