Wildlife Rescue League

wonderful people– I found a baby squirrel that was cold and wet and needed help, I carefully warmed him up and found this number online. after leaving a message I got a call back about 30 minutes later and the number of a rehabilitation woman in my area. she was very nice and caring and it was so obvious the squirrel was in good hands and very lucky to have found her! She even said it was ok to call and check on her :) I’m so glad this place exists!

I found a baby squirrel by my apt and it was only two weeks old. I found the baby at about 8:00am. I stabalized it with some helpful tips from google, and called the Wildlife Rescue League. I left a message and 30 minutes later I had a call back and they provided me with a woman who helps baby squirrels. I called her, and she immediately gave me her address and I drove over there. By 11:00am, the baby was in expert hands!
I am so thankful for this organization because they were so so professional and an animals life was saved in the process. God bless this place!

I found a stunned bird on a busy sidewalk outside of Whole Foods and took it home with me. I called Wildlife Rescue League and left a detailed message. They also had very useful information on the message before the beep. I received a call within five minutes and was given the numbers of two people who could help. I am very impressed and grateful that an organization like this exists!

This morning I was awoken by the phone ringing — my downstairs neighbors were calling me because they found a baby bird in their driveway — they did not know what to do with it and were on their way to work.
So I lumbered downstairs to take a look. Sure enough — a baby bird — with no feathers, was lying there, breathing in and out, and occasionally moving a leg. I scanned the back of the building and could not see any potential nest that it might have fallen out of — so I gently and carefully scooped the baby up in a clean dish towel and placed it in my garage — away from the hot sun and predators.
I called the Wildlife Rescue League — I got an answering machine — I left a detailed message and within an hour — someone had called me back with the name of a local licensed wildlife rehabilitator to call. I called the guy — we could not get our schedules to sync up for today so I could transfer the bird to him. He asked if I could take the baby direct to where he would have dropped the baby off.
The location was in Leesburg, VA. So I made the trek up U.S. 15 from Haymarket to Leesburg to drop the baby off.
The phone number listed for the business address is the administrative number — the hotline number is: 703−440−0800.
I sure am glad there is some sort of infrastructure in place to help out with situations like this!
