“A simple act of kindness and compassion towards a single animal may not mean anything to all creatures, but will mean everything to one.”

At Chippewa Valley Wildlife Rehabilitation we are committed to making this world a better place for all wild ones to live, one animal at a time.
We strive to help orphaned, injured, and sick wild animals find their way back into the wild, to their home where they belong. We do our very best to assist every wild one that comes through our doors.
And that starts with learning about the world we share with these creatures.

“If we can teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save things that they love.”

The mission of Chippewa Valley Wildlife Rehabilitation is dedicated to rehabilitating orphaned, injured, or ill wild animals with the goal of returning them to their native habitat as healthy, productive members of their own community; providing information in response to public inquires about wildlife; and providing wildlife education to the community.
CRITTER 101. That is the curriculum we aim to teach.
Wildlife education is a large part of what we do and an important part of our mission. By teaching our community about nature, wildlife, and other issues and providing them with humane strategies, we hope to decrease the number of negative encounters with wild animals and create a healthy respect for nature, as well as a deep connection to it.
CVWR is Licensed through the State of Wisconsin to care for: squirrels, rabbits, foxes, opossums, raccoons, ducklings, porcupines, woodchucks, chipmunks, weasels, mink, muskrats, bobcats, beavers, and badgers.
“Wildlife in the world can only be protected by the love of compassionate hearts in the world!”
