Not sure who to call?
If a person is in danger, call emergency services. If wildlife is near traffic, trapped in a structure, or visibly injured, use the found-animal form and also contact the appropriate licensed rehabber, animal control, conservation authority, or local public-safety resource.
Filter local wildlife help
Try animal type or county. Public listings should reflect verified contact preferences and current intake details.
