If we can’t get to the phone right away, please leave a message and we will call you back as soon as possible.
Northwoods Wildlife Center provides the wildlife of the Northwoods with rescue, rehabilitation, and release services, covering roughly 25% of the state. As one of the most established wildlife rehabilitation centers in Northern Wisconsin, we admit 600-700 animals a year in need of medical treatment and care.
Our wildlife rehabilitators are licensed through the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to provide professional care for over 100 species of Wisconsin wildlife. As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, we receive no government funding. All funding is provided through our members, sponsorships, and generous donations made by the public.
Please consider supporting our efforts to help sick, injured and orphaned wild animals.
There are many occasions when an animal looks like it is orphaned, or needs help. But often times, the best thing to do is leave them alone. To find out how to tell, and what the best thing to do for an animal, use the “How To Help Animal In Need” button.
