The very best place for helpless young animals is to be with their mothers. The first step towards helping young, and possibly orphaned wildlife is to assess the situation. Each type of animal is different and some mothers do need to hunt or leave their young temporarily during a time when you might spot a baby.    Click here to visit the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's website to learn more about Orphaned and Injured Animals.   Who to Contact: Contact DFW Wildlife Coalition at 972-234-9453, or email at info@dfwwildlife.org Texas Parks & Wildlife Department: View a list of Wildlife Rehabilitators for Dallas County, or call the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department’s information line at 800-792-1112 Contact Dallas Animal Services by making a service request online or by calling 311 for sick, injured, or confirmed orphaned wildlife.
