Wildlife Rehabilitation in Northwest Arkansas

*Please note, if you found an injured or orphaned animal, call a wildlife rehabilitator using the directory links listed in this blog post, instead of commenting anywhere on this website. Comments are slow to be received and responded to, and we can’t help you – the rehabber can. Every effort has been made to ensure this directory is up to date as of April 2023, but circumstances often change and these listings may be inactive.

Found an animal in need? Thank You for Caring!

STOP & THINK: Most baby birds, bunnies, or fawns are not actually orphaned. Some animal moms (deer, rabbits…) leave their babies for long periods, and may only feed babies at dawn & dusk. They might not need your help. Research online before removing the animal from the wild, unless it is in immediate danger from a car, dog, flood, etc. Don’t keep the animal in your home unless you’re a licensed rehabilitator in your state who knows what they’re doing to keep the animal alive and healthy.
