Found an Animal? STOP. LOOK. LISTEN.
Mammals - ORPHANS
Baby mammals are often found after storms, tree trimming, or when they become sick, injured, or separated from mom. If the baby appears healthy, give mom a chance to come back.
Keep the baby warm by placing a hot-water bottle covered with a sock nearby. If needed, place the baby in a box with nesting material secured safely off the ground and away from pets. Then, walk away and give mom space. She may not return while you're watching. Skip the pictures—let mom do the rescuing!
Mammals - INJURED
If a wild mammal is obviously injured or crying repeatedly with no response from its mother, call a wildlife rehabilitator. In good weather, you may be advised to wait 2–3 hours or until dark to give mom a chance to return. Never feed an injured, cold, or orphaned animal. Feeding the wrong food—or feeding at the wrong time—can be fatal. Call for help and don't trust Google!
Mammals - BABY DEER
DO NOT MOVE a fawn! Mother deer returns around dawn and dusk. A healthy fawn may lie perfectly still or flatten itself to the ground when approached. Call for help if a fawn is injured or bleeding, covered in flies or ticks, crying nonstop, following people, stretched out on its side, or found beside its dead mother. Never give a fawn cow’s milk or formula. Their digestive systems are extremely sensitive. Call before you rescue!

Mammals - RABBITS
STEP #1: PUT THE BABY BUNNY BACK!
If it's eyes are open, it's ears are up and it is at least 3-4 inches long (or you had to chase it) the baby does NOT need your help! Rabbits build their nest in shallow depressions on the ground. The mother returns to feed her babies twice a day. If a nest has been destroyed, rebuild it with grass and place an "X" over the top using sticks. Then walk away and don't come back until morning. If the "X" is disturbed she returned. If not, call for help. NEVER attempt to feed baby bunnies and remember: YOU are a predator.
