Providence Wildlife Rehabilitation, Inc.

This place is wonderful. I found a baby bunny in a well and was worried he was injured or unwell—he barely moved when we rescued him so I called this wildlife rehabilitation center. The person who helped me responded quickly to my text and arranged a time for drop-off. She reassured me that he was likely just very frightened and promised to make sure he was healthy and able to survive on his own before releasing him. I truly felt he was in good hands, and she even followed up to let me know he was doing well.

Would absolutely recommend! We had several baby mallards in a back pool yard area where the mother unfortunately disappeared and did not return after the first day. We think something may have happened to her, unfortunately. The babies are now in great hands at Providence and will be released back into the wild after 7 weeks. Very grateful to find this place!

I tried contacting them about a very injured duck/goose(neck was broken I believe and their legs) took them hours to respond asking for the address I gave it to them and on top of that sent pictures, never received a response on if they came and got the poor thing or anything else. Update: Why not tell me the address is wrong?

They need to remember anyone taking the time to contact them about hurt or injured wildlife is most likely an animal lover just like them. No need to be rude during an exchange of information. Reading the reviews, it doesn’t appear I was the only one of the receiving end of this attitude problem. Thank you for doing this work but it’s time to make sure you are okay first so you can continue doing good work. People finding sick and injured animals and trying to get them to you are not the enemy. Thanks.

Zero stars!!! I contacted this rescue on June 10th about a baby bird that I found while doing my afternoon walk. No one answered, but had a voicemail that said to text the number the address and description of the issue. I did!!!! NO RESPONSE OF ANY KIND!!! WHAT A SHAME!!! But baby bird is doing well and safe. And don't reply with a lie saying you responded because I will reply back.

I am sure they do great work rehabilitating wildlife and I thank them for that. However, they were not kind to me when I contacted them about a situation. I had reached out to them right when I captured abandoned ducklings. After reaching out a second and third time, they responded 17 hours later and were very judgmental of me. I put the ducklings in our neighborhood creek with a male and female duck because I didn’t know what else to do and they were judgmental of my choice. I did the best I could and immediately reached out to them first. I am not in the line of wildlife rescue! I am, though, in the line of healthcare. Would I ever be condescending to a patient who came in with a massive heart attack because they sat at home for days with chest pain? Absolutely not. I would be compassionate and give the aid that was needed. To sum it up, think about how you communicate with people who reach out for help because it will impact the well being of the wildlife who need your help.

I am so grateful for this place and their hard working, caring, and generous team. A wild baby bunny in our yard was hiding in weeds as we were working and he got hurt. I reached out here uncertain of what to do. Once making my appointment, I arrived and the little bunny was scooped right up like a newborn baby. I knew then I chose the right place. They’re so kind and do amazing work out of the love for animals. Please be patient with them, this is not your emergency vet clinic, they will get in touch as SOON as they can. This is a small nonprofit organization and I can assure you they care about your situation and the animal(s) just as much, if not more, as you do! Be kind and passionate with animals and treat them as you would another person, if you were hurt or sick, you’d want help! God bless this team, their mission, and their big hearts ❤️
