S.L.O County WILDLIFE

I'm so AMAZED with the whole concept of being a volunteer at the WILDLIFE CARE CENTER that I decided to post some information on what we basically do at the center and some ideas on how you can help. The center I work at is like the emergency room for all those animals that arrive there.I learned so many things on my first day, I just can't wait to see what is awaiting for me in the next days to come.
You should definately check the webpage out, there is so many wonderful rehabilitators working there.

WHAT TO DO WITH INJURED OR ORPHANED WILDLIFE

*Return baby birds to the nest when possible.
*Observe from a distance to make sure baby animals are truly abandoned(specially fawns,since mothers leave their newborns for hours while they forage).
*Keep people and pets away from the animal.
*Rescued animals should be put in a well-ventiladed box and placed in a warm,dark,quiet place away from drafts. Do not feed.
*Call the Pacific Wildlife Care Hotline immediately.
