Bless the Beasts Foundation Inc.

Wildlife Rehabilitation Center 
of Western New York

Bless the Beasts Foundation Inc. is a network of wildlife rehabilitators that serve Niagara, Erie, Genesee and Orleans Counties.

Wildlife rehabilitation is the care of orphaned and injured wildlife for the purpose of returning them back into their natural habitat. Animals are fed, housed and provided with veterinary care until they are ready for release.  Care is provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and all of the associated costs of care are incurred by the rehabilitators themselves.

Our  mission at Bless the Beasts is to provide care for sick and injured wildlife until their ultimate successful release back into the wild, and to provide free education programs to children and adults in the community who share space with these magnificent creatures.  This is done with the understanding that treating the animals only works on the symptoms, while teaching the public; awareness, appreciation and respect, works to alleviate the problem.

Here's a few of our clients...

for Aspergillosis
Blood is being drawn on this Trumpeter Swan to detect Aspergillosis, a respiratory fungal infection.
Following treatment for Aspergillosis our Trumpeter Swan returns to the research project to fly with her siblings alongside an Ultralite plane.  The goal of the project is to re-introduce these magnificent birds to the land they once called home.

Many people have a bird cage… This is ours.   Taking care of raptors requires large investments of time and money.  It’s not something to be undertaken lightly.
