If I could give 500 stars, I would. I recently brought an orphaned mourning dove and know it is receiving quality care by the numerous dedicated staff members at the center. My family and I have brought countless wild animals to this facility over the years and can always count on the animal's best interest and comfort to be put first. Thank you all for what you do!!!

I need to come on here to make a public review. I know this place is here to help the community and animals however please don’t take any animals here. I brought the sweetest, most friendly, baby possum that I found abandoned in my backyard. Once I brought him they gave me a card with an id number to call back to see how he is doing in a few days. When I called back they said that he had made it to the nursery with the other possums but he was having a lot of seizures that couldn’t be stopped? He was in perfect condition when I brought him! They told me they had to euthanize him. I am very upset about this. If he was seizing aren’t there seizure medication that you can give him or even make him more comfortable. Who knows what kind of environment he was in back in the nursery. I had a bad feeling when I was bringing him to this place, something told me not to bring him but I still did. This is hard for me to take.
Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
I'm sure They will take care of them
You couldn't be more than wrong. The only animals that are euthanized are those that have no chance of living or quality of life. The south Florida Wildlife Center does everything to rescue rehabilitate and return the animals back to the natural environment. I suggest that you might volunteer at the center to see the great work that they actually do.
Not aware of any pandas in the wild here in south Florida but I do know they help manatees.
The place is staffed 365 days a year. If they are not in, there are drop-off cages in front of the gate.
Yes, any kind of bird. They will take care of it
Good morning. Please feel free to contact me if you still need assistance. I will be happy to pick up the bird and deliver to the center.
Yes, they can. They have a drop off area on the left side of the entrance, all you have to do is get the bird in the cage and fill out the form. They also have a night drop off box outside the gate. They just ask that you don't leave food because it can attract ants and other animals

Try letting it warm up it might be a hatchling but you can take it to them.
Yes great place
Yes, you can volunteer. You can apply on their website I think, as well as in person.
South Florida wildlife center is the best. Give them a call, they may have an ambulance driver in the area that can pickup the animal for you.
You can bring him directly to the hospital and they will take him in
Good morning, If the opossum is injured or oprhaned, we will happily evaluate and provide treatment. If it is healthy and simply in your yard, it is fine to be out and about and doesn't need to be captured. Please call us at 954 524 4302 so we can get more information and properly offer advice. Thank you!
From your same neighbors or the area where you are living in Boca Raton navigate the internet to find info from the goverment or any area that could help you with the situation.
Definitely bring it to a wildlife care center for treatment, I don't recommend trying to treat the animal yourself.
Depends on the duck. If it is a non-native species then no, they do not help them. IF they do take it in, it will be likely be euthanized.
Feel free to call them. They are very helpful and compassionate.
We are here to help! Call us daily between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. for advice and next steps. Thank you for caring about wildlife!
No - for our patients’ wellbeing, we only handle them when absolutely necessary. Thanks for asking!
South Florida Wildlife Center is a wildlife hospital. To preserve our patients’ wild natures, they are not handled, except for necessary veterinary and rehabilitative treatments. Thanks for asking!
no
That is very kind of you, Maria! South Florida Wildlife Center does need those items for our patients; thank you for thinking of us! We are open daily 8 AM to 6 PM. Thanks again!
Take him there make sure you say it you duck other they will you know what I mean I had to do the same thing with. Fishing line in duck mouth. Hope this help you out

You can become a volunteer but if you do you must be committed cause rehabing and saving animals is not an easy task thats why donations are extremely important and you be amazed how far a donation can go.
Please give us a call any day between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. at 954-524-4302 and we will do all we can to assist you. Many thanks for caring!
Unless you have knowledge of raising baby birds I suggest you take it to them.
Yes definitely take it to Wildlife Rescue they are awesome and will help the Mockingbird I have taken quite a bit of injured wildlife to them
I think it will go away, but if not you can call the south Florida wildlife rescue in ft. Lauderdale
Take it to Wild Life center ,even if mother finds it it will die on the ground ( mother can't pick up and fly back to nest) and please give whatever you can $1:00,$5:00 anything you'll be amazed on what they will do with it.
Give the SFWC a call, they will tell you what they can do to help him.
You are right I had taken a wounded ganzo from your leg. Call the second day they told me the same thing they had injected to sleep the animal Your totally right. This place kills animals. Few weeks ago I took a injury duck. Three days later I called them and they told me they put the animal sleep. This is under investigation.
They will probably take it and check its health then release it most likely.
Don't deal with this facility! They euthanize baby squirrels brought to them... EVEN IF you leave a donation for their care. Read my review on this facility for more info about my experience.
Call them on Mon morning. Keep the bird in a box with some water and keep warm. Put a towel inside for warmth.
It for helping animals they are hurt

I took a duck there and I called them by phone. They gave me an update. Very nice people there.
It might be a dud. Take a flash light up to it and if you don't see anything it's possible that it will not grow since we just got over that cold front. Who knows how long it was there before you found it. Did you look for a nest anywhere near the sight? If your keeping it warm, under a light, there could be a possibility of it growing. If it hatches, you'll have to be the momma and syringe feed it. Or just take it to the Wildlife care center. They are amazing. Staff is very helpful. They are only kept open by donations. So if you can help with a few $, they are very greatful. Call in the am and ask what you should do. Good luck. They have saved many baby squirrels and ducks that have gotten near death from botulism. Just picked up one of my ducks they saved on Friday.
I would give them a call. They are very friendly.
Or you can drop it off anytime. At night they have a few cages by the gate
They'll probably take them, but they don't need 'donations' of birds or other animals. They are there to help injured or abandoned animals - it's not a zoo or something. They do need donations of cash, maybe supplies as well. As far as your birds go, you can post online, Craigslist or whatever, to see if someone will take them. Look for someone who has experience with birds, and understands the longterm commitment involved.
What kind of tortoise? If it's a gopher tortoise, you should take it there immediately. Otherwise, that may not accept your nonnative tortoise as it cannot be released here in the wild.
Call the center, I believe they will not advise you to step into traffic. They'll send a vehicle if they believe the animal is still alive.
I'm not an expert, but generally speaking I've been told don't feed the wildlife. If the animal is injured, drop it off at the Wildlife Care Center hospital. They will rehabilitate it. There is a drop off box for after hours. Or bring it in first thing in the morning. They open at 8am.
Call first before making the trip. They may not be in a position to house them. Ducklings can feed themselves at birth. Their issue would be protection. Since they aren't protected in Florida, they may be on their own.
You should give them a call during their normal hours. If they can't take the turtle, they may be able to recommend a turtle rescue place.
Put it in a box and drop it off at the wild life center they open every day
They are open 365 days a year, according to their website.
Call them on the phone and ask if they can relocates the bird
Broward county has an after hours drop off shelter on the perimeter of the airport
This is a rescue and rehabilitation center. Animals are not bought or sold here.
Please call the center directly. The first thing they do in the morning is check the overnight cages. I'm sure you left the little guy warm and depending on his/her age everything will be fine. SFWC dedicated themselves in rescue, rehabilitation and release back into the wild.
The goose can be dropped off, they'll take care of it, make sure to leave a nice donation
Haley is right. Either location will take the animal, but please do make a donation if you can. Both organizations need the help to keep doing the good work.
Again, I asked Do you rescue iguanas and do you charge?, last week. Our neighbor two houses down has a huge tree that houses MANY iguanas and they are multiplying rapidly. They eat all that we plant in the backyard (fruits and vegetables). Can you help with this problem? They are not sick nor injured. Thank you.
