NEW Wildlife Rehabilitator Locator

Check out Find a Wildlife Rehabilitator – A webpage that was just released by Mass Fish and Wildlife on July 30, 2019.

The new page contains updated information within the text, a new table, and most importantly a new map feature. The map allows a user to enter their location (either town or full address) to find rehabilitators closest to them, which eliminates the guessing game of trying to figure out where you are relative to the towns of the wildlife rehabilitators listed in the old table. There is a small embedded map as well as a full screen view, and the zoom extent of the map is restricted to protect the privacy of the wildlife rehabilitators.

There is a legend of the symbols used to easily identify which rehabilitators accept the various categories of animals, and this information is also contained within the pop-up box for each rehabber, along with their contact information. 

Please keep in mind that wildlife rehabilitators are not authorized to rehabilitate Endangered, Threatened, or Special Concern species protected under MESA. Wildlife rehabilitators are also not authorized to rehabilitate venomous snakes, black bears, moose, or white-tailed deer. Additionally, any issues related to injured coyote, bobcat, fisher, river otter, and beaver should be referred directly to MassWildlife.
