Injured Animals
If you have found an injured adult or large wild animal, please, review the does and don'ts on this page. The sooner you get the animal to us, the better its chances for survival.
DO
- Keep the animal warm, dark, and quiet - between 85 and 95 degrees.
- Put it in a cardboard box just large enough for it to stand.
