About Us.

A baby robin chirping for feed, an owl's big yellow eyes starring right through
you, a fawn playfully bucking and running...all are everyday events at the Blair
County Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

Twenty Seven years ago as a healing process after her son's
death, Deborah O' Shell began to put her heart into helping wild animals. Over the years she worked hard to obtain the proper licenses becoming United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) licensed, federally (USDI) permitted and Pennsylvania Game Commission permitted. What started out in the beginning as a bird here and a racoon there had soon become a 24 hour a day job. Along the way Debbie did not stand alone in her love of the creatures. Family and friends had also helped her in what was soon to become Blair County Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Today the center has up to fifty volunteers. Many have come and gone but none have left without feeling they had helped in some way.

For the past eight years, Debbie financially supported the organization. In the past few years more donations have been coming in from the public, businesses, and private organizations. These donations have helped in buying food, medication, and supplies. Along with the native wildlife, primates are also housed and studied at BCWR. BCWR now needs the help of the public to help finish the facility. The rehab center has many plans for the future with its main focus always being the wildlife in need. This facility does not play a role as activists but as advocates of the creatures. They invite everyone to help in any way they can. Help Blair County Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, help the wildlife and preserve their future.

 

What We Need & What You Get

We would like to raise up to $94,000 to help put up a fence and renovate the barn to have a wildlife park. Also, to provide sick, injured and orphaned wildlife with specialized care.

The impact is great, it doesnt just help injured animals who can't take care of themselves, but it helps the community through educating the public. Human activities are threatening the survival of many wildlife species and health of this planet.
