Common Wildlife Questions


The Wisconsin Humane Society's Wildlife Rehabilitation Center annually cares for more than 5,000 injured, sick and orphaned wild animals of over 145 different species. Our goal is to rescue, rehabilitate and return them to the wild.

In addition to helping animals in our wildlife hospital, we give humane advice to people who have concerns about injured, sick, orphaned or wild animals in human living environments. Read our expert advice about wildlife.

 


The Wild About Wisconsin wildlife photo contest is open to anyone interested in submitting their digital photos of Wisconsin's indigenous wild animals. Whether you're a novice with a point-and-shoot, or a birder with a Nikon SLR, WHS would love to see - and share - your photos!

There is a $10 non-refundable entry fee per photo, which benefits the wild animals at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. ACelebrity judges will determine the top three photos, plus 3-5 honorable mentions. Prizes will be awarded to the top three winners. Learn more!



Balthasar, a Great Horned Owl, is being treated in our Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for a severe fracture to his humerus (wing bone). He is recovering after undergoing an orthopedic surgery to pin the broken bones into proper alignment. You can sponsor Balthasar to help provide food and medical care. We are entirely funded by the support of the community, so every donation makes a big difference!

Release Sites Needed

The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is always looking for safe places to release hand-raised orphaned Cottontails, Raccoons, Opossums, Gray Squirrels and Mallards. These release sites need to be private land that is under your control. Release sites do not need to include dozens of acres and do not have to be strictly rural. Unfortunately, urban lots and small suburban yards are not good environments for recently released wild animals.

If you would like to learn more about offering your property as a release site for some of our beautiful rehabilitated wildlife, please click here.
