Wildlife Help Hub
If you’ve found an injured, orphaned or sick wild animal, our Wildlife Help Hub is here to assist! If you have found a bird or mammal in need of assistance, please use our Self-Help Centers below. You’ll receive expert support to match your situation, including how to identify whether an animal needs help and detailed safe handling and drop-off instructions. Together, we can create a more humane San Diego for wildlife in need!

Please do not attempt to care for the animal yourself.
Do not offer food or water to the animal. Please contain them in a box with air holes or in a crate (covered with a pillowcase or sheet) and keep them in a dark, quiet room. Bring them to Project Wildlife or another wildlife drop-off location as soon as possible.
