OwlsOnline.org offers a sanctuary & rehab facility for injured wildlife in NC
Title
OWLS
Description
orphaned native wild animals could be cared for in a compassionate and professional manner. In our first 13 years we admitted more than 16,000 patients.
OWLS has been designated by North Carolina as the wildlife center most capable of dealing with wildlife affected by an oil spill. We regularly care for a great variety of species, providing the specific diets, housing and medications needed by each. Our hospital houses facilities for exams, two nurseries, an ICU, a radiology lab, surgery and commissary. Because of these capabilities, OWLS' rate of release is among the best in the country.
The shelter is open seven days a week; we answer thousands of calls each year from people with questions concerning wildlife in their area. We network with other groups across the country and outside our borders to exchange information concerning wildlife rahabilitation. Our staff and volunteers attend annual symposiums and trainings to stay current on wildlife medical procedure and health issues.
