WELCOME TO WEST WILDLIFE REHAB
At WEST Wildlife, located in southwest Ohio near Cincinnati, we take in rabbits, squirrels, opossums, foxes, and other small native mammals too young or too injured to survive on their own in the wild. We help them recover until they can survive on their own Then we release them back into the wild.
We are a 501(c)(3) as well as ODNR permitted, home-based wildlife rehabbers.

Does the squirrel REALLY need a rehabber?
