Remember: please don't rescue unless rescuing is needed!  If you think you've found a wild animal in need of help, follow these guidelines, then call us at (207) 361-1400 before taking further action!  This is especially important with babies and juvenile animals!

All wild animals are potentially dangerous.

Should you decide to approach, use caution and wear heavy leather gloves.  Remember: all mammals can carry rabies.  If you suspect the animal is rabid, call your town's animal control officer for help.

Keep injured animals in warm, dark, quiet places, away from humans or pets.  Please note: we accept animal admissions every day of the week 8am-6pm.  If you have rescued an animal in the evening and need to keep it overnight…please click here for instructions.

Immediately contact the Center for Wildlife (207) 361-1400, your local animal shelter, or the game warden for help.
