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.

Your feedback is welcome as we improve this system.
