WHAT IS WILDLIFE AID BRIGADE®?
Wildlife Aid Brigade is a training initiative created by Sue Lunson Farinato to protect wild animals and their families. It provides training for animal shelter staff and volunteers on humane handling and response to wildlife situations.
Volunteer/Intern Program
of Wildlife Aid Brigade trains volunteers and interns to respond from animal shelters regarding injured, ill or possibly orphaned wild animals. The volunteer/intern travels to the site and determines the species of the animal, the age and health of the animal, and whether it actually needs help. The volunteer may renest baby birds or rabbits or reunite baby animals reported as orphans with their parents. The volunteer also transports the animal to the shelter if necessary. (Read more on the Volunteer/Intern Program page.)

The Call-Taker Training trains shelter staff to handle wildlife calls from the public so that the public is educated about basic life history of native species, any public health concerns are addressed, and baby animals are given a chance to stay with their parents. Call-taker training saves the shelter's resources by reducing the volume of field responses performed by animal control officers, so that they may concentrate on companion animal matters.

The programs of Wildlife Aid Brigade are designed to keep wildlife families together, particularly when human-caused disruption of wildlife homes has occurred. By using techniques such as recreating a nest, wild adult animals are given another chance to raise their own young in the wild.
Sue L. Farinato is a wildlife rehabilitator based in Maryland. She has served on the Wildlife Subcommittee of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments for five years.
