Found an Animal?
Before Contacting Us About Wildlife
If you have found an injured or orphaned wild animal, please have the following information ready. This helps us determine the best course of action as quickly as possible:
Text our intake line — do not email
(703) 493-0554For all wildlife emergencies, please text this number rather than emailing us. Our email is monitored, but not throughout the day — texting the intake line is the fastest way to get help for an animal in need.
Providing this information upfront helps us connect you with the right resource quickly — especially for time-sensitive situations.
Thank you for supporting wildlife rehabilitation, conservation, and coexistence in our community. We’re grateful for every person who takes the time to care about Virginia’s native wildlife.
