Dane County Humane Society’s Wildlife Center, located in Madison, WI, provides critical specialized care and treatment for thousands of injured, ill, or orphaned wild animals annually. Established in 2002, the center has grown significantly, having cared for over 50,000 animals since its inception. Its primary mission is to rehabilitate these animals with the ultimate goal of releasing them back into their natural habitats, contributing to the health and biodiversity of the local ecosystem.
The Wildlife Center accepts over 150 different species, including native birds, reptiles, amphibians, and most mammals, filling a vital need for wildlife rehabilitation in the community. This extensive work is made possible through the dedication of its staff, interns, and a large network of trained volunteers who provide the majority of daily animal care. As a non-profit, the center relies entirely on community support and donations to fund its operations, ensuring that every animal receives the best possible chance at recovery and a successful return to the wild.
