The poster reads 'RE-WILDING INDIANA' and features images of various wildlife, including a raccoon, owl, and other animals.

For 30 years, the Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic has provided pro bono medical and surgical care for injured wildlife brought to the clinic by the public and licensed wildlife rehabilitators across Indiana. The Clinic works with a network of volunteer rehabilitators to provide nursing care for sick and injured wildlife, and for orphans. However, with 2024 bringing close to 1000 wild animals for care, the demand has outstripped capacity.  Now is the time for an independent wildlife hospital within Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic to partner with one of the area’s strongest wildlife rehabilitation organizations, Hancock Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation.  We can then build capacity for the future and better serve Central Indiana’s wildlife.

The Avian and Exotic Animal Clinic and Hancock Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation are pleased to announce the creation of a non-profit organization dedicated to serving Indiana wildlife, with official operations beginning January 2025.
