WILD WARD
Is your shelter swamped with calls about wildlife during "baby season"? Shelters which respond to wildlife calls serve a great need in many communities and can save many wild lives. But what happens to those animals while they await transport to a wildlife rehabilitator in your shelter?
If your shelter is like most, you have no dedicated room, equipment or staff for wildlife. Animals may wait for long periods without food, water or proper housing before being transferred to a rehabilitator. This can endanger wild, young animals and demoralize staff efforts.
A Wild Ward can resolve these problems. Using volunteers and donated items, your shelter can take better care of wildlife AND save valuable staff time and shelter resources. Let us show you how ordinary household items, discarded recyclables and trained volunteers can help your shelter save wild lives and enhance your shelter's image of providing compassionate care.

Beginning with a visit from a consultant and ending with a day-long class at your own shelter, your staff and volunteers will be better prepared to help wild animals in your community. Feeding schedules, housing and diets will be provided for the most common species admitted to shelters.
Note: Training for a Wild Ward is solely to provide emergency, temporary care of native wildlife (less than 48 hours) while they await transfer from your shelter to a rehabilitator. This class does not qualify your shelter as a rehabilitation center or its staff as wildlife rehabilitators.
