While Ross Park Zoo is unable to directly assist with wild animals in distress due to legal constraints on animal acceptance, we can offer guidance. We align with the DEC’s (Department of Environmental Conservation) principle of “If You Care, Leave It There.” However, recognizing the compassionate nature of animal lovers, we acknowledge that the desire to help is sometimes irresistible. If you suspect the animal in question is injured, distressed, or orphaned, we recommend contacting one of the Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators in the area. These dedicated individuals are committed to aiding wildlife in need. Below, you’ll find a list of resources for wildlife rehabilitators.
