Lowell Farm & Wildlife Center - Lowell, Michigan

Beautiful place with tons of wildlife around. I found an orphaned bunny this morning and they were able to take him right away and ensure a full recovery!

We had some trees cut down over the weekend and the crew found 3 baby squirrels. I called and dropped them off immediately and gave a $20 donation. Perfect outcome for these babies.

We came across a tree that had fallen over from being rotted out and to our surprise we hear a bunch of squeaking coming from a hole in the tree! a litter of four baby squirrels were inside! We waited for the mother squirrel to return but she didn't. I could not find anyone to take them from where I live (Muskegon) So we finally found Lowell Farm and Wildlife Center. A very concerned and caring woman was happy to take all four of them. I know this is a nonprofit organization but I'm sure donations would be greatly appreciated as taking care of such tiny helpless little creatures until they can live on their own isn't easy or cheap! Just want to say thank you for being there for the animals! Wesley & Wenona Evans.

Don't get your hopes up that this place will rescue roosters. I called 4 times, no answer, before catching my baby roosters and driving out on the hope that this wildlife center was even still operating. Called several more times when I got there (within the stated business hours) and no answer. I finally knocked on the door of the private residence and the owner answered. She stated quickly she could not take the roosters because she had "too many birds already," and then listed off places to which we could try to re-home them, such as calling around to 4H clubs. It only occurred to me later that if this were truly an option, she would have used it herself for her bird overpopulation problem. When I asked if I could help with the overpopulation by taking on some hens, she laughed and said, "that's what everyone wants to do." Yes, but isn't that the point of the wildlife center? To re-home animals to the community or nature? For someone to help rescue or perhaps respectfully put down animals that would otherwise have no chance? She claimed she needed to keep all her hens because she uses their eggs for bringing in funding "that pays for half of their feed," yet if she were willing to re-home a strategic portion of her hen population, she seemingly may not be stuck in the "I have too many birds already" dilemma. Trust me, she had A LOT of hens. Of course it would be impractical to have only roosters, but she still sent us home having to dispatch the 4 roosters (our luck of the draw when we got chicks this year) we had hand fed and raised since chicks ourselves. I had really wanted to spare my husband from having to put them down himself. I understand completely that this is the harsh reality of farm life, I guess, but her short responses and lack of taking care of her own overpopulation problem in meaningful ways that COULD equip her to then rescue more animals rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe she's tired, burnt out, maybe needing help from more volunteers - I don't know - long story short, don't get your hopes up that this place will rescue roosters.

Such a wonderful sanctuary for orphaned and injured animals. I have taken three orphaned baby raccoons on three different occasions and each time they quickly take the animals and start nursing them back to health.

I am always humbled and in awe of people who sacrifice their time to help these animals that would otherwise die without their help. Thank you for your kindness and selflessness.

Please remember to give a donation when you drop off, if possible. They depend on donations to keep their sanctuary operating.

We found four baby racoons without a mother about 3 weeks old and ended up finding this place not far from home to take them to. The woman who welcomed me to drop them off and was willing to take care of them was very pleasant and clearly had alot on her plate but still welcomed them. If you ever are in the area I would highly recommend going out there and contributing a donation to a wonderful place who goes above and beyond helping out wildlife.

These folks are doing compassionate and great-hearted work. We found a litter of abandoned raccoon babies in our yard and they took them, no questions asked. They take care of them and raise them in such a way that they can successfully be released into the wild. GREAT PEOPLE!!

Brought a bunny that was hurt here over 8 years ago. Left adopting a kitten that didn’t have a mom. Her name was Pumpkin and I renamed her Lola. Just want you to know Lola is the best companion I could have ever imagined. I think about how blessed I am to have her everyday. Thank you for being amazing caretakers for all animals 🙂
