HAPPY NOVEMBER EVERYONE:

It's the rutting season for whitetail deer folks. The bucks are chasing as many females they can catch over the next month and a half and drivers MUST be extra cautious and extra attentive when driving ALL our roads.
Please folks, it's for your benefit as well as the wildlife.
The wildlife, wish to live in harmony with you folks and not harm, just like we at WROEH ask that you all strive to
live in harmony with our most beautiful wildlife and not seek to eliminate or harm them.
In other words, we need to all help each other, to ALL help each other.
Thank you from all of us at Wildlife Rescue of East Hampton, Annie, Pickles, Scurry and Scooter and of course our beautiful ATHENA.

OUR MISSION & RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR WILDLIFE

Rescue

All our wildlife species are vulnerable to a number of life threatening issues both man-made and natural. Loss of habitat, vehicles, poisons, fencing
are all a threat to our wildlife.
WROEH responds to every situation that warrants a response. We will release on site or stabilize and transport
injured or distressed wildlife to a medical facility.

Emergency care

Sometimes, immediate first aid or overnight observation is necessary.
WROEH has temporary overnight
holding facilities in Montauk, Amagansett and East Hampton.
We also work with a number of private and retired veterinarians who can help with after-hour emergencies.

Incident Prevention

It's also important to correct issues that threaten the life and safety of our wildlife, whether it be a poorly designed fence or dangerous debris.
WROEH will do whatever is necessary to keep our wildlife from falling victim to fixable threats, lethal issues, bad management and dangers that impact the homes and habitat of our wildlife.

OUR OBJECTIVE

To RESPOND, RESCUE, RELEASE or TRANSPORT
and PROTECT our wildlife.

RESPOND

Our experts will field each call as they come in, determine if the animal needs help, confirm directions and gather the appropriate equipment necessary for a safe rescue. If further information is needed, the reporting party is contacted immediately. If the animal requires help, an experienced wildlife rescue responder is dispatched immediately.

RESCUE

Once the responder arrives on scene, he or she will determine whether additional assistance is needed. If so, the responder will put out a call for assistance on the groups exclusive Wildlife Rescue Emergency Alert Mobile App. If no assistance is needed, the responder will safely rescue the animal in distress. If the animal is not injured, it is released on site away from danger.

TRANSPORT

Should the rescued animal require medical attention, the responder will stabilize the injury and sedate the animal if needed for transport. The animal can then be safely transported by vehicle to either the local vet clinic, animal hospital, rehab center or temporary holding facility, for medical examination, attention, surgery or if necessary, humane euthanasia.
