What happens after I drop off the animal?

The wild animal you found will receive a medical exam by licensed professional staff to determine its needs. Prompt, humane care is our highest priority. After that, the animal will receive ongoing medical care, feeding, raising, enrichment and rehabilitation until it is ready to survive on its own. We will then release the animal back to the wild.
