Thank you for caring about animals!

Because we are an educational sanctuary, we cannot take in public drop-offs, injured wildlife, or purchase animals from pet stores. Please select your situation below for guidance on the best protocols to help an animal in need.

Reporting Animal Cruelty, Neglect, and Pet Store Concerns

If you suspect an animal is being mistreated, your prompt action can be life-saving. Because laws and authorities vary by location, this guide is organized to help you reach the right people quickly.

Surrendering or Finding a Pet

If you can no longer care for a pet or have found a stray one, please follow these professional protocols to ensure the animal's safety and legal protection.

Found an Injured or Orphaned Wild Animal?

If you found native wildlife that might need assistance, and you aren't sure what to do or who to contact, check out our dedicated interactive tool.
