Hoosier Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation is committed to helping injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife native to Indiana. Our core service is to provide state-licensed care to these animals with the goal of releasing them back into the wild. This includes but is not limited to providing veterinary care, housing, and raising orphaned babies and juveniles. We are also committed to promoting healthy human-wildlife relationships via educational programs for schools, events, and community outreach initiatives.
by joining forces with communities, DNR, and regional US Fish and Wildlife Department to create balance ecosystems within our communities.
by collaborating with community leaders to create networking events within their community.
by teaming up with businesses and other nonprofit organizations to create fun events for all ages to participate in.
by providing the tools, skills, and processes to educators and participants of all ages to develop their own stewardship program for conservation to aid wildlife.
Please reach us at hoosierwildliferescue@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
If you have found a baby animal, the first step is to get them into a box or container they cannot get out of. Warm the baby animal with a heating pad on low and contact us. DO NOT OFFER FOOD OR WATER UNLESS DIRECTED BY OUR STAFF.
If an animal is clearly injured or sick please reach out to us for help. If an animal appears to be orphaned and you have not seen the parents by 5pm that day, please reach out to us. If an animal appears to be healthy and is moving along normally, no need to be concerned! Let them go about their day.
We currently take in mammals, amphibians and reptiles. We hope to take in birds soon, however currently we do not have the appropriate space to rehabilitate them. We still can assist with transportation and questions regarding injured, orphaned, or sick birds.
For most species, the best way to encourage them to move on is to put up bright motion-activated lights and use noise like an old radio. A smell can also be a powerful deterrent. Tennis balls soaked in ammonia can help to rid your property of wildlife. Be sure to 1. Check for babies or avoid evicting wildlife in the spring. Special consideration should also be given to hibernating bats. Refer to your local wildlife laws for more information about evicting bats. You can also avoid your home becoming a nesting place by checking attics and holes in February before babies arrive. And 2. Board up holes after wildlife have left. We recommend having a professional wildlife remover or contractor come in after evicting wildlife to make sure that all entry points are closed off.
