What are Safe Haven’ rescue guidelines?
- Only adults should rescue orphaned and/or injured wildlife.
- Before rescuing an adult mammal or injured raptor, seek guidance from a wildlife rehabilitator.
- Only attempt to rescue an animal if it is injured, in danger or has been clearly orphaned.
- If you can find a baby animal’s nest or den, return it and allow four to six hours for the mother to return. Remember, a baby’s best chance for survival is with its mother.
- It is also a common misconception that human scent on a baby animal will discourage its mother from returning or retrieving her young.
