I found an injured animal in the woods near my house, how can I help it?

If you find an injured animal in the woods near your house, try to capture it gently in a suitable container, such as a cardboard box or garbage bag. Bring the container to a wildlife rehabilitator who will be able to assess and treat the animal's injuries. Keepers at rehabilitation centers are experienced and equipped with knowledge on proper care. It is best to leave any investigation and care of injured animals to a professional since providing incorrect aid can potentially make matters worse.

It is always advised to call a wildlife rehabilitation center as soon as possible when you find an injured animal. The staff at the rehab center should be equipped with the skills and resources to properly treat the animal and provide further assistance if needed. In addition, be sure to keep all contact with the animal to a minimum and maintain at least 50 feet of distance from them. Keep track of where you found it, so the rehab centertcan find its location for further help.
