If you are interested in working with sick, injured and orphaned wildlife, and have a lot of free time to care for wildlife in the spring, summer, and fall, this position is for you! Wildlife rehabilitators work in their own homes taking care of wildlife with the goal of releasing them back into their native habitats. Thus you need a room that can be dedicated to wildlife intake. A 2-year initial apprenticeship and Virginia state permit is required, as well as 6 hours of continuing education a year. Training is provided.

We are in need of volunteers who would like to work with orphan squirrels, cottontails, opossums, goslings and ducklings. We also seek those who have or are willing to get preexposure rabies vaccines to work with raccoons and foxes.
