Contact the DNR and they can get you on the right track and might even have some intern programs you could participate in, we love animals also. Good luck with your future in animal health pursuitDoes anyone know where i can take classes to get a licence to raise injured or orphaned wildlife?i live in MI?
check with your local DNR office -- they can either give
you the info or put you on the right track
I would contact a wildlife rehabilitator in the phone book and ask. I know you have to take required classes and continue taking classes as they come up to keep your license active.
There is wildlife you can legally take care of without a license but that varies state to state. Any animal that is at risk for rabies however requires a license.
For most rehabilitators, a college degree in biology or ecology is recommended.
The curriculum should include: ornithology, mammalogy, animal behavior, ecology, related wildlife/environmental subjects.
Wildlife rehabilitators include: veterinarians, veterinary technicians, biologists, educators, and people from other diverse backgrounds.
A college degree is not required to become a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, but a biology-related degree provides a number of advantages:
- knowledge essential for quality hands-on animal care
- understanding of wildlife in relation to humans and the environment
