WILDLIFE
We DO NOT see wildlife unless through a licensed rehabber or organization.
The Atlanta area is fortunate enough to have several wildlife rescues, licensed rehabbers, and nature centers to assist in the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife.
​
If you find injured or orphaned wildlife, please see the resources below.
