For this International Day of Charity, we wanted to share a few things about Ohio Wildlife Center that you may not know. 💜🐾
🐾Ohio Wildlife Center is a small nonprofit organization right here in Central Ohio, dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and education.
🐾 The friendly faces you meet when you call, volunteer, attend a program, transport an animal, or visit our campus are often volunteers. In fact, our incredible volunteers donate more than 30,000 hours of service every year, helping thousands of wild animals receive the care they need.
🐾 Many people are surprised to learn that we are not a state agency. We purchase permits from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Division of Wildlife to conduct wildlife rehabilitation, just as anglers purchase fishing licenses. (And despite the number of calls we receive asking for them each year, we don't actually sell fishing licenses! 😄)
🐾 Another common misconception is that we receive state or federal funding. We do not. The care we provide is made possible by compassionate supporters like you. Every donation helps provide food, medicine, housing, veterinary care, and a second chance for injured, orphaned, and displaced wildlife.
🐾 Thank you for standing beside us, advocating for wildlife, and supporting our mission. Your generosity and compassion make this work possible, and we are deeply grateful to have you as part of the Ohio Wildlife Center family. 💜🐾
