If you find an animal you think might need help:

• Consider your own safety first. Do not handle any wild animals unless absolutely necessary.
• Place the animal in a covered, well ventilated carrier in a warm, dark and quiet place.
• Do not offer any food or water.
• Never use a wire cage to transport wild creatures.
• Place uninjured baby birds back into their nests whenever possible.
• Be sure a wild animal needs rescuing. Fawns and baby bunnies are often left alone for long periods of time while their mother feeds elsewhere.
• Remember it is illegal to keep a wild animal as a pet.
