!!!!NEVER!!!NEVER!!!NEVER!!! Ever delivering animals to this place!!! They only care about the donations not the animals. That's why they won't allow any visit or provide any following up informations. Even the animal control does!When we arrived there, there was a board outside said their space is limited and suggested not bring animals in. And right besides that board, there was a delivered animal inside a box just in front of their office dehydrated and barely survived, but no one come to take care of it. When we questioned their processing system, they turned to be very rude imidietly, the director refused to show up and hang up the phone right away. Delivering the animal to those kind of facility could be one I live to regret. I cried a lot ever since but they refused to give it back

I'm so thankful for the Wetlands and Wildlife Rescue. We found a couple ducklings wandering on Crown Valley Pkwy with a crow flying hungrily overhead. We were able to rescue them and bring them in to Wetlands to be raised safely for release back in the wild later. Here's a picture of the adorable ducklings while they stayed warm & safe with our young tortoise until we could deliver them to the Rescue.

People there were very polite. I found this little opossum baby on my drive way when I was parking... Almost ran over it. Stayed with the poor baby the whole night until I was able to bring it over to this place at 8 am on a Saturday. They took the baby in and said he/she was alright and should make it. I was so happy with the great work they do there. Also, the place has lots os parking lots. Thanks for your wonderful work.

Have a pigeon with a messed up leg very swollen needs antibiotics and probably needs to be amputated. Would you guys be able to do anything with it? It still has an appetite.

There is adobe just sitting in our patio wall not fazed by my 4 cats. Something is not right. I am not sure what is wrong with this bird. What do you suggest I do to help it. This is very unusual behavior.

Call the center and they will advise. They may have you call the OC animal rescue.

Google their website, they have a list of animals that you can bring in. I looked it up once, but can't remember.

Can we visit the facility

Ron | Aug 26, 2021
Cameron Flanagan | Aug 26, 2021

I do not believe so. It is not open to the public. You may drop off blankets and flat sheets (desperately needed for the influx of 900 new ducklings).

If an animal is dropped off to be helped and they accept it in, does the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center have the right to euthanize the animal and cremate it without the person's consent who brought it in for care? Is this explained beforehand?

Debbie O | Aug 26, 2020
Isaac Romero | Aug 26, 2020

I would expect this is the case. The reason we bring these wild animals to this center is to rely on their expertise. As to the reality of such a policy I have no idea.

Do they take mice?

Raina Agnihotri | Aug 26, 2020
Amie Aguiar | Aug 26, 2020

Mice aren't on the list below, but I'd still call ahead and ask since they might not take mice if they won't take rats. They'll at least let you know what you should do! Here is a list of animals that our center will NOT accept: (However if you call ahead we will direct you to a facility that can assist you) -Bats -Skunks -European Starlings -Pigeons -American Crow -Ravens -Barnyard Animals (livestock/chickens) -House Sparrows -Domestic Rabbits -Domestic Ducks -Dogs/Cats -Adult Coyotes -Red eared sliders(non-native turtles) -Rats

Can I bring 8 10 week old mallard ducks to y our facility?

Jitterbug | Aug 27, 2018

Call Wetlands dept. 17143745587 to verify what kind of Wildlife birds they accept, it depends...
