Wildlife Response's most important program is our 24/7 Hotline. This hotline is responsible for providing the public with a source of information and contact with licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators. Nearly 11,000 calls a year come through this service, with the majority of calls coming into the system from the spring to fall. While most of the calls come from the Hampton Roads area, we do receive calls from other areas of Virginia as well as other localities across the United States.

Volunteers will receive comprehensive training and Hotline Manual, and a monitor a 5 hour shift. You will be answering questions about animals and the environment, and directing individuals with injured/orphaned wildlife to local Wildlife Rehabilitators.

Shifts are: 8am - 1pm, 1pm - 6pm, 6pm - 11pm.

Communication Skills: Knowledge of wildlife helpful, but not required as we provide training. Good telephone etiquette essential.
