While providing wildlife rehabilitation help to an animal can sometimes be very emotionally challenging, nothing equals the feeling of seeing an animal you gave a second chance at life, being freed in its natural, wild habitat.
When considering volunteering as a wildlife rehabilitator, please note:
- Ohio Law requires you are an adult (18 and older) to volunteer.
- We will help you fulfill permit requirements established by the Ohio Division of Wildlife to care for mammals and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service to care for avian species.

Rehabilitator’s need help, too! Another valuable way to volunteer is by helping your local wildlife rehabilitator with various animal care tasks:
- Animal laundry – towels, blankets, bedding
- Cage cleaning
- Washing animal carriers
- Preparing food and formula
