My son found this baby rabbit being attacked by a cat in our backyard so we rescued him. My kids were so sweet to it and made sure his little box home was warm and comfortable. He was bit and was bleeding a little so decided to take it to this place. It was unbelievable. They took it in without even asking us what happened, my kids were trying to tell them what had happened to it and she didn’t even look at my kids and kept on going. My kids didn’t have a proper good bye and were very disappointed. I told the staff there that it was so disappointing how they treated us and my kids didn’t even get to say goodbyes. Then she told us we should have done it before we went there. Seriously?? I tried to then tell them what happened to the rabbit and they insisted that I had to fill out the form before I could talk. I took a moment and realized how rude these people are to us (especially to my kids who are 5 and 8 years old) after we took good care of it and went there trusting it will be in good hands. They were unkind, rude and disrespectful. One of the lady even laughed when I was talking. Unbelievably disappointing. PS: my kids cried in the car. I hope you and your staff will learn how to be compassionate towards people, especially kids.

Second time finding a wounded animal and calling them. Took the animal to their location, as ask. No one there. Animal was suffering, needed to be euthanized. Unattended till morning. Sad

Fantastic people who love to help nature. Have taken 2 hummingbirds in the past 2 weeks and they welcomed them in without a problem. Love the people! Don't forget to support them with whatever you are comfortable with. Nuture needs them periodically
Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
There are several different size cages for all sorts of wildlife. There are instructions as to which cage to put a particular animal. They even have blanket warmers if the night is chilly. Very well organized and you can drop off 24x7
Males leave their female mate to care for their young during springtime. They join other males for molting.
Please go to the website and get their contact information. I don't have that answer but will be easy to get it. The Humane society may can help with this question too.
Project wildlife has a 24 hour drop off area for injured wildlife. You can put the injured opossum in one of the enclosures and fill out the form that is provided. A wildlife tech or staff will tend to the opossum as soon as they can.
Drop them off at the address, we're open until 5 and if we aren't there leave them by the front door please.
I'm pretty sure they do you can either go to the website or just go to the front office and let someone know what you're looking to do and they'll help you or point you in the right direction.
Clara, have you tried calling the San Diego County Department of Animal Services for help or guidance? Call them or the San Diego Humane Society so they can assess and advise what can be done to help the injured coyote. Poor song dog. 😣
You should call them to see if intervention is necessary. Spending time on the ground is a normal part of the fledging process, but they can ask the right questions to know if the situation is normal or not. I'm not certain they will see the question here.
If its not a domestic animal and it's feral this facility would be the one to deal with it
Hi Mark, I work for San Diego Humane Society, and I'm so sorry the hawk didn't make it. Unfortunately we can't save every animal brought to us because injuries may be too severe. Thank you for doing everything you could to help the hawk! We did everything we could too.
Hi Peggy, I work at San Diego Humane Society and asked my colleague at Project Wildlife and she said as long as there are no babies in the nest, which at this time there really wouldn’t be, then yes, they have every right to cut down the tree. Hopefully the hawks will be able to find a place nest nearby in the future!
If the mom doesn't come back, keep the nest warm and bring it to the wildlife center when they open. They have a booth outside and make it easy to drop off.
Mama rabbits only nurse once every 12 hours to lessen the chance of predators finding the babies. She may be around, also baby rabbits are basically on their own at 6 weeks old. So, try to take a couple pictures if you can, and take pictures to project wildlife.
Bring them into Project Wildlife or the nearest rehab care center
You do not have to pay any fees.
??? I'm heavily involved in animal rescue but I can't answer a question that makes no sense.
Take to Project Wildlife. They will care and try to rehabilitate. No cost. Can give donation.
Yes they do rehab & release hummingbirds. Also FYI it is a felony to even possess any part or portion of a hummingbird nest or the birds themselves unless you have a permit, so if you found one get it to wildlife rescue ASAP to avoid any legal issues.
If there is resources (food, water, safe shelter) there, maybe. But if your dog really scared him, he might have learned it's probably not a safe place for him.
Mina it is baby season. The birds are getting a little bigger and they chirp a lot
You can drop it off at their San Diego facility during the day or call the San Diego Humane Society dispatch line in the morning to have officers pick it up and give to PW. Keep it in a warm place in the meantime
Yes. They have a drop off room if the facility is closed.
Please call them directly. Plus they are always in need of mealworms and food for wildlife.
Call Sea World or SD Humane Law Enforcement and they will call for you.
If you haven't stopped already, with the speed at which a birds heart beats the poor creature has passed. In the future for birds a styptik pencil to seal the wound ASAP.
Yes, they see all wildlife. Please take the bunny there for help!
I would keep it safe and warm than first thing in the morning take it to project wildlife
I'm so sorry your cockatoo is sick, I hope you could have taken it to a veterinarian dedicated to birds. Project Wildlife is only dedicated to rehabilitating wild animals. Sorry your cockatoo is sick, I hope you were able to take her to a veterinary that sees birds. Project wildlife only rehabilitates wildlife.
Check back on the website for information. There is a new coordinator that is taking over the task of signing up new volunteers, just not sure when that is happening.
It's best to catch them when it's dark. Do you have a net?
Call Project Wildlife on Gaines St.
You can contact them because i don't know the answers to your questions. As long as you're leaving food out for the cats the other animals (raccoons, possums, rats etc) will continue to come
Thanks everyone! Will take it in.
Go to Project Wildlife 's Web page to find the phone number and call to see if they can do that. It might depend on your location.
Project wildlife headquarters is very near there. Call and they can surely help.
You can call project wildlife, they may be able to pick it up, or if you think you can handle it safely you can take it there. They will at least try to get it healthy again. Animal control will most likely just euthanize it.
