Today, a raccoon was left on our porch without notice. While we love all creatures, leaving them like this is incredibly dangerous. This little guy nearly froze before our staff found him.

If you find a wild animal in need, please use the correct resources to keep them safe:

Injured or Dangerous Wildlife: Call Bergen County Animal Control at 201-229-4616.

Nuisance Wildlife (removal of unwanted animals): Contact a licensed private wildlife control company.

Please do not drop off animals at our facility. Help us keep Bergen County’s wildlife safe by calling the pros! 🦝
