If you do not have an agreement (and a drop-off address) from an A.E.R.O. rehabilitator to accept your animal, do not fill out this form!!

**PLEASE READ** A.E.R.O. is dedicated to rescuing sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife. If you find an animal in need, please wear gloves and follow the instructions given by a rehabber to safely contain it. Keep the animal away from pets and children, and ensure it remains warm, dark, and quiet. While not every animal will survive, we are committed to providing medical care, stabilization, and the best possible chance for rehabilitation. For updates, please contact our intake line—our rehabbers are extremely busy, but we do our best to respond as quickly as possible. It is crucial to provide the exact location where the animal was found, as this ensures it can be returned to its natural habitat when ready for release. Thank you for helping us protect our native wildlife!
