TIPS FOR WILDLIFE

Here are some tips to follow when you encounter orphaned or injured wildlife:

• Before you assume an animal is in trouble, wait and watch: young animals often are left alone for hours at a time while their parents gather food.
• If an animal is shivering, obviously injured or if you know its parents have been killed, call the Wildlife Emergency Hotline at 623-582-9806.
• If the injured animal is a large game animal, such as a deer, javelina, mountain lion, or bear, or a potential danger to handlers such as a coyote or large bird, call the Wildlife Emergency Hotline at 623-582-9806.
• We cannot accommodate domestic animals or livestock.
