Our humane wildlife rehabilitation hospital and education center is staffed with licensed veterinarians and certified veterinary technicians who care for sick, injured and orphaned native animals. All activities in the hospital serve an educational function. We care for 225 naturalized and native animal species of New England. Our goal is to provide care for sick, injured and orphaned wild animals to enable them to become healthy, self-reliant members of the native habitat. Undergraduate, graduate and high school students participate directly in this veterinary medicine care practice so that they may become familiar with the species, the medical terminology and skills that are employed in caring for these disenfranchised patients.
All species receive humane care and rehabilitation without bias.
Each patient case is a learning laboratory whether it is a naturalized starling or a threatened pied-billed grebe. Our goals are to better understand the interactions between mankind, wildlife and their native habitat. Provide basic and sophisticated information to elementary, higher education students, professionals and the public. It is only through knowledge and understanding and the direct and buffered contact with wild animals that people of all walks of life will value, preserve and protect animal wildlife, the environment and their native habitat. We are a nonprofit, humane organization in Hingham, Massachusetts.
