Pittsburgh FAQ

Can I rehabilitate a baby squirrel at home?

No. Possessing native wildlife without a Pennsylvania Game Commission rehabilitation permit is a Game Code violation, even with good intentions.

Who do I call about injured wildlife?

Contact Humane Animal Rescue's Wildlife Center or a permitted rehabilitator listed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission rather than handling the animal yourself.
