MWRA Referral Directory

Individuals listed in this directory have the required permits to work with wildlife. MWRA provides this service solely for the benefits of its members and the public. It is not intended in any way to endorse anyone on this list.
When you contact a rehabilitator, you most likely will get an answering machine, particular during the very busy spring/summer season. Please be patient and they will call you back. It is up to the citizen to transport the animal to the rehabilitator. They are all too busy during the heavy season to leave and pick up the animal.
