The ARL Wildlife Center, founded by the Animal Rescue League of Western PA is a non-profit clinic for wildlife that exists solely on donations, grants, and the help of our dedicated volunteers. Our goal is to treat and release each patient back to the wild. We have treated thousands of patients since opening in 1997. Over 90% of our patients come to us due to conflicts with man, such as being hit by cars, attacked by cats and dogs, or being picked up as presumed orphans.We are a state and federally licensed rehabilitation facility, and are staffed by one licensed rehabilitator, along with approximately 40 volunteers.We admit all injured or orphaned native Pennsylvania wildlife. This includes birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. The Wildlife Center DOES NOT accept domestic animals, exotic species, or feral dogs and cats.
We get a donation everytime you use Goodsearch as you search engine.
