Be a Wildlife Hero!
Your Donation will help PA Wildlife!
Every donation gets WIN an extra share of this year's Corporate Stretch Pool!!
Wildlife In Need Emergency Response of PA (WIN) is a volunteer, non-profit, statewide organization for capturing injured, sick and orphaned wildlife throughout all counties of PA.
Thus far in 2025, WIN has responded to more than 3750 calls from the public! Without WIN, so many more animals would suffer and die, often due to illnesses or injuries directly related to unnatural causes (e.g., vehicle strikes, lead poisoning, habitat destruction). The number of wildlife helped can continue to grow with your support!
Your Donation will help educate members of the public and attract more volunteers through community outreach and participation in local festivals, conferences and outdoor expos.
Your Donation will help WIN purchase more humane traps for the capture of Foxes, Raccoons and Skunks. Humane Traps cost from $50 to $200 each.
Your Donation will help WIN purchase the wide range of nets and other apparatus necessary for the capture of flighted birds, including eagles, owls, geese, ducks, and songbirds. Basic nets with telescoping handles cost around $25, bownets for the safe capture of larger raptors are ~$350.
Your Donation would support costs associated with the answering service that routes calls to trained dispatchers, and the app that connects dispatchers to available volunteers-the base cost is around $600 a month, but runs >$1000 more during busy summer months!
Your Donation would also support Pre-Exposure Rabies Vaccinations for our volunteers. Those vaccinations cost upwards of $1,200 and are rarely covered by insurance. Only vaccinated volunteers may respond to calls about Foxes, Raccoons, Skunks, Groundhogs and Bats.
Wildlife in Need PA (WIN) is a state-wide network of volunteers that capture sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife and arrange to have them admitted to a PA licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility.
