Wildlife In Need Emergency Response of Pennsylvania

🐾Be a Wildlife Hero — Support Your County’s Wild Neighbors🐾

Every day, sick, injured, and orphaned wild animals need help—and people need to know who to call.

Thousands already know the answer: Wildlife In Need PA (WIN).

WIN is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to responding when wildlife is in crisis—capturing and transporting animals to licensed rehabbers who can give them a second chance.

In 2025 alone, WIN answered more than 4000 calls for help! 

That’s thousands of animals—and people—who didn’t have to face these emergencies alone.

Without WIN, many of these animals would suffer needlessly due to human-related causes like vehicle strikes, habitat loss, and lead poisoning.

 With your support, we can do even more💚
