If you are looking for wild life rehabilitators in New Hampshire, be aware that all are required to be licensed by the NH Fish & Game. However, it is all volunteers. These volunteers use their own time, money and vehicles to care for all wildlife. So be patient for return calls. Since there are few volunteers to cover the entire state of New Hampshire, these rehabbers become filled to capacity VERY fast.
Dori (owner of Prof. Pet Sitting Etc.) was a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for NH for over 20 years.
If you can dedicate time and space to helping the babies, please do. It is very rewarding and much needed.
