Had rabbits needed help. The clinic, the staff, the grounds are top notch. Take a day trip and see what these folks are up to. Saving animal lives and teaching preservation. You won't be disappointed by what this dream, and mission are about. Can't thank them enough!

I have rescued countless wildlife over the years and have interacted with multiple rehabilitation centers. I brought a rabbit with a questionable chance of survival and they were honest, which was incredibly appreciated!! This rehabilitation center was extremely informative, professional and quick to respond on the telephone. Lea was especially wonderful! Thank you!

I have made some pouches and nests for the wildlife in Australia but have been told not to send. Would your rescue have any use for these items?

I would think they might, but a phone call directly to them would be the best way to find out.

will you come pick up an animal i found with a deformity? i work long days and by the time i get off work all places are closed, i dont want to let the little guy go since i know he wont make it. its a little bird with eye issues

Far as I know they don't check Google for public questions, but here's the info you need.: AARK is open for wildlife drop off 24/7, 365 days a year. This time of year, the full staff is available at the clinic from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM but there's always someone on site for drop off.

Asking for advice/help: I recently got back from doing laundry and I couldn't help but notice that a squirrel is injured badly, no movement, sign of blood nor was it ran over. What can I do?

I am sorry I did not see this question in time to help that squirrel, but I work with Aark doing rescue and rehabilitation, so if you ever have a wildlife question in the future, contact me and I can help you with it.

There is a deer that keeps appearing near my backyard and it has a broken leg. It ran away and was only walking on 3 legs. The leg that was broken was swinging around and I don’t know how to help it.

You can call Aark, and they may be able to give you some direction about capturing the fawn. They do not have the resources to come get the animal but will care for it if you can get it there.

I have a ton of acorns in my yard, can they use this for feeding any of the animals. I hate to just throw them out.

I live in Birdsboro, PA. I found a turtle earlier on a parking lot. Afraid of being driven over, I have him in my home. I need to have it rescued! What can I do? Should I take him where there's water sources and wwwoodlandswoodlands

Aark takes injured wildlife and restores them back to health if possible, I would take him to a lake or pond and release him back to the wild he knows what to do this is their time to roam he will need time to make a home for winter it's imperative he s returned back soon

Is there a location that traps and relocates wildlife from your property. Specifically a large skunk and possibly babies

Yes. Call wildlife pros. They are great

How old do you have to be to volunteer here?

i d k | Sep 24, 2019
Allen Cross | Sep 24, 2019

AARK requires volunteers be at least 18 years of age. Their website notes that help is needed in many areas, not merely in working directly with animals. Here's a link to that page.: https://www.aark.org/volunteer/ .

Is it okay to put corn out for deer?

Amelia Davenport | Sep 24, 2019
Allen Cross | Sep 24, 2019

Unless farmers near you devote lots of time & acreage to corn, then avoid it as deer feed. If it's not something they'd commonly find, the corn will screw up their digestive tract and could lead to /critical/ dehydration. In northeastern winters, whitetail deer usually survive on plants that can handle the cold & snowy weather. This includes the kind of 'woody' bushes and vines that take serious chewing (blackberry, briar, honeysuckle), plus sapling trees, and any nuts (acorns) they can find. If you have that kind of plant material handy, great. If not, I'd suggest looking into commercial feed products.

There's a buck out back that is holding his rear leg up. Does not put it down at all. He does not stay put. Saw him yesterday and today. Any suggestions ?Yesterday he was limping, today not using it. Thank you . Amelia

Amelia Davenport | Sep 24, 2019
John Kbear | Sep 24, 2019

There is really nothing to do. No one can treat injured deer. There are many animals in the wild who do well with 3 legs. Best to leave him alone. If he lays down and does not get up again call the Game Commission.

We fished a skunk out of our pool this morning and he is hiding in the bushes now. He did spray but missed us. Will he eventually leave on his own when it turns nightfall? Do you think he wandered into the pool last night?

Peg Stauffer | Sep 24, 2018
Miss M | Sep 24, 2018

If you call Aark I'm sure they can tell you. It may have just been thirsty and then fell in. And I'm sure it will leave on its own.

I have a bird's nest in my old dryer vent in the wall, a bird is stuck deep in the wall. What can I do??

Charles Schmell | Sep 24, 2018
Phil Kazanjian | Sep 24, 2018

Disconnect the dryer vent pipe one end at a time and block it off put a rag over the end of it tied off. do the same with the opposite end. Take the pipe outside and open up both ends.the bird will find his way free. Put a piece of chicken wire over the dryer vent to keep this from happening again. Just check it once in a while to be sure it is not getting clogged with lint if it is still in use.

I found a squirrel with hurt front paws and have no way of catching it what should I do?

Jade | Sep 24, 2018
Eileen Oles | Sep 24, 2018

Friendly traps. Put peanut butter in the trap then once caught bring to Aark. Or let mother nature take its course. Red tails need to eat too. A perfect meal for a hawk, most hawks die from starvation....

I found a baby squirrel behind my trash can. I gave him a shelter last night, a cloth to lie in and some nuts. He looks exhausted. Can you help?

Margie Gadomski | Sep 24, 2018
Charles Noska | Sep 24, 2018

Take the animal to them. A cloth for comfort and warmth. Call them, let them to find out if they are the closest shelter to you.

There are 2 doves on our upstairs deck in the snowstorm. It looks like they're seeking shelter from the storm and they look cold. We don't have anything out there. We live in the orchards. Neighbors said to leave them alone and they will be OK?

Nancy Katof | Sep 24, 2018
Dex | Sep 24, 2018

I'll defer to the good people from Aark for specific advice, but birds are not as delicate as they look. Many have special arterial structures through their bodies that help them keep warm. If you can provide a little food without startling them I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
