SECOND CHANCE WILDLIFE REHABILITATION CENTER
Pueblo, Colorado 719-543-1946

***********

Every year, hundreds of people find wild birds and mammals that for various reasons have been injured or orphaned. In Colorado, it is illegal for anyone without special licenses from both the State and Federal government to possess wildlife for any reason.  While death is a necessary part of nature, contact with humans, whether directly or indirectly, has greatly increased the decline of all wildlife species. The goal at Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is to return healthy wildlife to their natural habitat.

***********

Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization operating under permits from the Colorado Parks & Wildlife and the US Fish & Wildlife Service that accepts all birds, small mammals including bats and nonpoisonous reptiles for rehabilitation. We are located in Pueblo but serve all of Southern Colorado. Nancy Kelly, the executive director, has been a licensed rehabilitator since 1992. Second Chance Rehab Center received nonprofit status in 1994.
Wildlife rehabilitation is a 24-hour/7-day-a-week commitment that takes intensive training in the natural history and nutrition of each species cared for as well as medical and supportive care. Expenses are the responsibility of the rehabilitator or center; there is no government funding. Veterinary bills, specialized feeds, specialized housing and other equipment costs mount very quickly. Continuing education and reference materials add to the expense.

***********

Second Chance Rehab Center does not charge a fee but we do greatly appreciate donations.
If you find wildlife that you believe is injured or orphaned, please contact Second Chance at 719-543-1946 or your local Division of Wildlife office.
