The Wildlife Center is a clinic for the rehabilitation of injured and/or orphaned native wildlife. In conjunction with our mission statement, we also provide educational programs to the regional residents.
Description:
The Center treats nearly 2,000 native wild animals per year. Our sole purpose is to release healthy animals back into their natural habitat. To accomplish that purpose, we accept nearly all native Pennsylvania wildlife including orphaned baby mammals and birds, as well injured or sick adult animals. We also accept and work to rehabilitate endangered species in Pennsylvania.
History:
The Center was opened in March of 1997 by the Animal Rescue League in order to full fill the need in the community. Since that time, we have treated over 10,000 animals.

extremely rewarding and interesting

I have always been interested in wildlife. Volunteering gave me the opportunity to learn more about injured and orphaned wildlife and also how people should be more aware of how to deal with it.
