Providing care to the wildlife with the intent to release them as soon as the time is right.
About
Founded in 2022, Hancock Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization of volunteers in Hancock County, Indiana. We are dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of wildlife that is native to Indiana, and our intent is always to release the animal(s) in our care. We strive to be a vital resource in our community, and also focus on educating the public on what each person can do to help protect and better serve our community in regards to wildlife. We currently rescue and rehabilitate mammals, reptiles, and amphibians in Indiana. Please see the IN DNR rehabber list if you need help with a bird. If you are outside the state of Indiana you can use Animal Help Now to help locate a rehabber. If you need help, text or call us at (317)625-3404 between 9 am and 9 pm and we will return your message as soon as possible. We are volunteers and may be busy caring for animals or at work, etc. If we are not available please consult the IN DNR rehabber list.

Expanding Our Facilities
As a new organization, we will be adding on for a while! Our facilities includes both indoor and outdoor enclosures at multiple locations with several licensed wildlife rehabilitators.
We hope to always be able to accommodate anything from a tiny bat, squirrel, or bunny, to something as large as a fox.
