Native Wildlife Rescue Inc.
We receive sick, injured or orphaned wildlife only. We are not permitted to trap healthy animals that some people consider a nuisance. We are available to consult with people on ways of getting the critters to leave on their own. We are always available for advice in dealing with wildlife. We will not tell you how to feed and care for wildlife, which is illegal in the Common-wealth of Virginia without a license. Native Wildlife Rescue is a voluntarily staffed 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are welcome. We have state and federal permits for wildlife rehabilitation.
Hours: 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
