Wildlife admissions re-evaluation?

  • 1.  Wildlife admissions re-evaluation?

    Posted 06-14-2021 06:25 PM
    We are a nonprofit animal welfare organization with a county animal services contract. We have historically had an extremely broad definition of open-admissions, which we are reevaluating. I'd love to hear from open admissions shelters regarding whether they admit wildlife and, if so, under what circumstances. For example:
    • You have in-house  expertise to rehabilitate wildlife
    • You admit wildlife and transport animals to a more appropriate agency
    • You admit wildlife if you have a wildlife agency partner who will pick up from your facility
    Any feedback at all would be appreciated!
