Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah

That sounds wonderful. That is beautiful facility up there and I was glad that I was help the seagull by putting it in the right hands. Thank you so much for what you do.

Shawna, Due to all that is going on, we haven't since last February, but we normally have openings during the winter as we prepare for the busy spring/summer periods. We post opening on our website's ( www.wrcnu.org ) "Volunteer" page during the winter period, usually between January and March. Research all of the information we have on that page to see if working with us is truly something you are interested in. Hope this helps. Thank you!

There are no laws that "require" the killing of European Starlings--rescues that do that have made that decision and we feel it is made based on short-sighted reasoning. We do not kill healthy animals. We only euthanize those that cannot be successfully treated and are not releasable.

Yes they will take pidgeons. They will ask for a donation to help maintain the facilities, but it is not required.

Hi Jaxon, Since we deal in native wildlife it would be illegal and unethical for us to place any of our patients up for "adoption" -- by both state and federal law. Wild animals do not belong in captivity, unless they are unable to be returned to the wild and then only allowed to be placed in a licensed facility like a zoo or aviary. Sorry.

Great question Sarah! Only our non-releasable Education Ambassador animals are allowed to be on public display (federal law), and we have shutdown that program as well as our small museum area until at least late fall due to the pandemic. All wildlife under rehabilitation care are not allowed to be publicly displayed, since the goal is to keep them wild for release back into the wild. Hope that all makes sense. Thank you!

Renee, if the animal is treated properly then it can be released. This is why it is not legal for unlicensed individuals to care for any wildlife. Doing so will almost always end with an animal that is not equipped to take care of itself properly in the wild. Always, always take animals like this to a licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility for care and treatment. thank you

Thank you for your question, we are not hiring and currently not taking on new volunteers. 15 year olds are eligible for volunteers positions when they open up (see our website's "Volunteer page for info". We are also not taking youth for employment positions. Hope this helps answer your questions.

There is only one thing that we can do in Utah, and that is to call the Division of Wildlife Resources and hope they will respond. Doing anything else is against the alw. We are not allowed to help deer of any kind due to state laws. Sorry. :(

We are not able to go out on rescues due to the number of animals in our care and limited staff for anything else. We would like you to call and maybe something can be worked out though.

Hummingbirds to Eagles, small mammals ranging from chipmunks to Beaver. State law does not allow us to rehab raccoons, striped skunk, red fox, coyote.

I have no idea. My sugestion is to contact them. This is just the google page with responders from the community.

Yes, they can definitely help! Call them and ask what the best way to transport the bird is without injuring it futher.

They only rehabilitate wildlife. They don't sell anything

They do not sell dogs. This place takes in wild animals that have been injured.

In Utah the only legal chance for a good home would be to reach out to licensed animal education facilities that might take him for an education ambassador. You are looking with a facility that likely already has USDA permits for mammals. You might check with Hogle Zoo, Loveland Aquarium, etc. but don't know of any specifically. It'll take some work to do this right, but start searching and making contact--just make sure they are legal or he will not likely get the proper care and attention and only be a "novelty animal" that will likely be dumped or passed on again.
