Due to covid-19 concerns, WROEH scaled down its number of active volunteers,
and changed its hours of operation & availability. We will do our best to respond to as many calls as possible. ONLY calls to the emergency line Directly will be addresseD. We are currently only available in the east hampton, Amagansett and Springs areas, Monday thru Friday 9:00am to 4:00pm.
After Hours and weekend emergencies can be reported to the
Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue and Rehab Center at 631-728-WILD.

Here on the east end, we also contend with poor cell signal quality from time to time, particularly during the summer months. If we do not respond with a return call or text 15 minutes after you leave your message (report an emergency), TEXT "Please Call. Wildlife Emergency. 631-Your Number" to 631-377-6555

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 wildlife to our on-call vet.

Emergency care

Sometimes, immediate first aid or overnight observation is necessary.
WROEH has a temporary overnight
holding facility in East Hampton.
We're grateful to have the support and help of local private veterinarians, to help us with emergency examinations.

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.
