The following is a list of GWN’s frequently used rehabbers, including the species they rehab. This is NOT a complete list of all Georgia rehabbers. Note, it is illegal to cross state lines with wildlife.
ALWAYS call ahead to ensure they have space and are currently intaking. Do not give the animal any food, water, or milk unless instructed to do so by the rehabber.
Note: “RVS”= Rabies Vector Species (raccoon, bat, fox, coyote, etc). Rehabbers can only intake the animals they are permitted to work with.
Rehabbers do not receive state or government funding. Please consider donating to a rehabber near you.
Due to the volume of animals that rehabbers/vets intake, they are unable to provide updates to individuals once you have dropped an animal into their care. Wildlife rehabbers do not pick up animals from your location.
