We care about all animals and humans too! We are a non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Illinois because that is where our facility is located, but we help animals throughout the midwest as some of our members are from Minnesota and Wisconsin and we like Iowa too. We collaborate with other organizations to provide assistance and care for animals of all kinds, but our focus in Illinois is on wildlife.
Helping the animals is not simply healing them and providing shelter while they recover. It is also about assisting people who have concerns or conflicts with wildlife. There are many non-lethal methods for dealing with nuisance situations. For suggestions on how to live with wildlife or methods to resolve problems with a nuisance animal, visit the Humane Society of the United States at www.hsus.org. If you need help with a specific situation in central Illinois, please contact me at 1-309-573-3131 (leave a brief message with your phone number) or by e-mail at gail.mac@live.com and I will respond to your questions.
If you need immediate assistance in Illinois, call 217-782-6431 and ask for the name and number of a wildlife rehabilitator near you or check the Illinois DNR website at http://dnr.state.il.us/law3/ and locate the Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators tab for a listing by county .
