Animal Nation Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation

Animal Nation rehabilitator Megan Apicelli demonstrates how to safely coexist with the wildlife in your backyard—avoid attracting deer, live peacefully with raccoons, the surprising benefits of opossums, and, of course, what to do if you find an animal you think has been lost or orphaned.

Animal Nation is a non-profit wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facility that includes a farm, sanctuary, and adoption center in Westchester, New York, and Norwalk, Connecticut. Their mission is to eliminate cruelty to animals while spreading compassion into the hearts of all beings. For 20 years Animal Nation has been the go-to regional resource for wildlife, farm animals, and cats in need, receiving about 8,000 calls per year.
