Northernaire Wildlife Rescue

Welcome to Northernaire Wildlife Rescue! We are located in beautiful Northern Michigan where we get nine months of winter and about three months of not so good sledding ;)

This is a state and federally permitted wildlife rehabilitation facility accepting woodland mammals (prey species only) ducks, geese, doves and pigeons. We do not rehabilitate predators but have contact information for those who do so please feel free to contact us with inquiries. At this time, other than nestling doves and pigeons, we are not accepting nestling song birds but will accept injured adult song birds.

We are also available to answer your questions concerning wildlife with regard to their behavior and any nuisance issues you may be experiencing.

If you have found orphaned baby wildlife or have come across injured or sick adult wildlife, please click on 'Wildlife Rescue Information' above to find out what to do first before finding a wildlife rehabilitator in your area. PLEASE, be very cautious of what you read online concerning the care of wildlife. Anyone can post wildlife information and unfortunately, most of what you'll read will not be correct. Wildlife rehabilitation cannot be learned by reading online sites, if it were that easy caring for wildlife would not require a license to do so. Also, bear in mind that harboring wildlife without a permit can not only pose risks for you but is illegal and may result in hefty fines.

To find a wildlife rehabilitator in Michigan, go to www.michigandnr.com/dlr this will bring up a list of licensed rehabbers in the state of Michigan, they're listed by county. If you do not live in Michigan, please contact the DNR, Humane Societies or local veterinary offices in your area to find contact information for wildlife rehabilitators.

If you need to contact me, I can be reached by clicking on 'Contact Northernaire' above. Emails are checked daily and all inquiries concerning wildlife will be answered.

Thank you for visiting this site and acting responsibly by taking the time to find proper facilities for wildlife in need of rescue. Please, keep the 'wild' in your heart and not in your home ;)
