Rehabilitation
The Wildlife In Need Center accepts all species of Wisconsin wildlife except skunks (prohibited by the DNR), annually treating up to 2,500 animals of over 140 species. Over 68,500 injured, sick or orphaned animals have passed through the Wildlife in Need Center’s doors since January 1, 1994. 80% of these animals were admitted because of interactions with humans.

You found a baby raccoon – now what do you do?
