If you have found an injured or orphaned wild animal, click here for advice on what to do next.

Our clinic is one of only a few veterinary hospitals in the state of Maryland licensed to treat and rehabilitated wild animals.  This is a distinction of which we are  especially proud.  We have commited our staff and resources to treat ill or injured wildlife in the hopes that they can be returned to the wild.  We work closely with federal, state and local wildlife programs and rehabilitators to ensure that these wild animals are given every chance of survival. 

As our way of promoting the health of area wildlife, we do all of this free of charge.  However, to help offset the cost of providing high-quality, state-of-the-art medical care for our local wildlife, we have estabilished a "CARING FOR WILDLIFE" fund.  Donations made to this fund are used solely to cover the costs (x-rays, anesthesia, pins/splints, bandages, medications, and food) of caring for these animals.  Our doctors and staff volunteer their time.  We seek no other compensation than seeing that these animals are humanely treated and when possible returned to the wild, placed in rehabilitation or education programs, or humanely euthanized when no other options are available.
