![]() Humane Indiana Wildlife has had to change some of our protocols for admitting injured and orphaned animals into our care. ![]() However, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has provided a list of statewide agencies that offer assistance with various wildlife. Possessing a wild animal for more than 24 hours in the state of Indiana requires permits from Indiana DNR or US Fish & Wildlife. Some species, not native to our region are considered invasive to our natural environment, others, we simply do not have the space nor resources to bring them into our center.Īs a result, at this time we are not accepting: ![]() Humane Indiana Wildlife Center cares about the welfare of all wildlife. Please consider making a donation to help us continue the care we provide for our orphaned and injured wildlife. While there is no cost to drop off wildlife in need of our help, we ask that our community support our efforts to help offset costs for care of the hundreds of wildlife we receive throughout the year. Some animals, received at our Wildlife Center, will require veterinary visits, treatments and medication, and ALL animals will require species-specific daily food until their health is restored and it’s safe for them to be released back to their natural environment. Once the intake paperwork is completed, our rescuers/good samaritans are free to leave.Īt no time is there a fee for dropping off injured/orphaned wildlife to the rehabilitation center. This information is then used to help us complete our permit paperwork, issued to us through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Upon entering the rehabilitation center, rescuers are asked to complete our intake paperwork, which contains a few brief questions such as your address and phone number, how long you have had the animal, the animal’s rescue locations, if/what you have fed the animal. Please give us call to make sure a team member is on site to receive the animal 219.299.8027. Before you bring an animal to our Wildlife Center: Humane Indiana Wildlife Center appreciates our good samaritan efforts to rescue and bring wildlife to our doors for help. Care of these animals encompasses daily husbandry which includes shelter and food, as well as medical treatment such as dressing wounds and providing medications for injured animals. Our goal is always to rehabilitate and release wildlife, and as a result of the incredible support of volunteers, community members, and staff we CAN and DO make a difference on wildlife. Fortunately, our community is full of like-minded individuals who recognize the importance that every species serves in our environment and our obligation to protect and respect them and their habitats. In the overwhelming majority of these cases, either directly or in-directly, we humans have greatly contributed to their situations. These animals have ended up with us because they, unfortunately, have been injured, orphaned, or have fallen ill. Every year more than 2,000 native wild animals find their way to Humane Indiana Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.
