Welcome to the

Giaquinto Wildlife Rehabilitation Center

 

At the Giaquinto Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, we are dedicated to rehabilitating and caring for injured and orphaned wildlife in Marlborough, MA.  Our goal is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release any animal that comes into our care. 

Alongside our educational ambassador barn owl, Bella, we offer programs to the public and aim to inspire people of all ages to love and conserve our native wildlife.

Services

We are currently limiting our wildlife rehabilitation intakes for 2025.

Our mission continues to focus on educating the public about how to safely coexist with and conserve our native wildlife. By raising awareness, we hope to reduce the number of injured and orphaned animals admitted to our center and others across the state. Education is the first and most effective step in preventing negative human impacts on our natural world.

If you are in need of assistance, please visit Find a Wildlife Rehabilitator | Mass.gov for a current list of licensed wildlife rehabilitators and centers in your area.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and support.
