Live In A Rural Area?

If you live in rural Arizona chances are you've run into a fantastic array of wild animals living on or around your property. Maybe you've seen some wild animals that have been sick or injured. Maybe you wanted to help but didn't know how.

Rescuing wild animals is a whole other ball game compared to rescuing domestic animals. Even rescuing wild rabbits can be difficult.

I've found some great guidelines in this website: http://www.cuhumane.org/topics/wildlife.html

They can definitely help you if you want to rehabilitate a wild animal every now and again.

For someone more ambitious who's interested in starting a whole wildlife rescue I found this great online course: http://www.universalclass.com/i/crn/30365.htm

$25 is the basic course with no certificate and $50 gets you a certificate and 3 Continuing Education Units (CEU).

Need someplace to take a wild animal? Check out the Tucson Wildlife Center: http://tucsonwildlife.com/index.html
