Tallgrass Wildlife Rescue is to release
healthy animals back to the wildlife.
Our trained rehabilitators work hard to
avoid the animals in their care from
becoming dependent on humans.
Wildlife Rehabilitators must be licensed
both by the state of Kansas and the US
Fish & Wildlife service.
To qualify for permits, most rehabilitators
take courses and apprentice with
experienced rehabbers.
Rehabbers depend heavily on the services
(most often donated) of local vets for the
medical treatment of the animals.
The rehabilitator provides the initial and
ongoing care of the animal.
