State Agency Submissions Guide

State and Federal wildlife agencies can submit their permitted rehabilitator lists directly through their WildlifeRehabber.com account, which contains a link to upload a CSV file.  The CSV file can also be submitted by email.  To retrieve your username and/or reset your password, click here.

The submitted file will be used to either update existing user listings or create a new user listing.

Click here to download a CSV template file.   Please rename your CSV file before submission by using the following pattern:
state-year-version.csv   example:  va-2017-v1.csv 

Your feedback is welcome as we improve this system.
