• Ducks and Geese in Distress

  If you find a duckling or gosling alone, search for a nearby parent and try to safely reunite them. If you find multiple ducklings or goslings, contain them by placing them under a laundry basket. Wait to see if the mother returns. If she does not return, contact one of the rehabilitators listed below.

• Bats in Distress

  Because of their potential to carry rabies, specialized protocol dictates how to handle situations that involve bats.

• Deer in Distress

  Rehabilitating an injured, adult deer is prohibited due to the potential dangers to humans and to the lack of success in trying to confine an adult deer for long term care.

• Raccoons in Distress

  Because of the potential threat of rabies, current policy does not allow for the rehabilitation of adult or sickly, raccoons.
