Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation begins operations

May 1, 2004

Established in 2003, Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation is now accepting wildlife at their facility which operates from a property along the Flint Creek in the greater Barrington, Illinois area. 

Flint Creek Wildlife is dedicated to the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife with the goal of returning fully rehabilitated wildlife to its natural habitat.  Flint Creek Wildlife promotes respect for wildlife and wildlife habitats through public education programs. 

Flint Creek Wildlife was founded by Dawn Keller to help provide much needed rehabilitation services in Northeast Illinois.  Ms. Keller has a passion for animals.  She has worked with abused animals, provided foster homes for cats and dogs, and has volunteered with the raptor program at the Spring Brook Nature Center in Itasca, Illinois. Ms. Keller left corporate life to fulfill her dream of providing rehabilitation services to injured and orphaned animals.  Ms. Keller plans to develop Flint Creek Wildlife into a premier facility working with all animal species in the area.  She is seeking a larger property that will support Flint Creek Wildlife's longer term growth. 

Flint Creek Wildlife has been granted a wildlife rehabilitation permit by the State of Illinois allowing them to accept all mammals except for skunks and bats which are prohibited by law.   Flint Creek Wildlife is one of a few facilities in Northeast Illinois permitted to accept White Tailed Deer for rehabilitation.  The state permit also allows them to accept some birds including sparrows and starlings.  They are in the process of obtaining federal permits for rehabilitating migratory song birds and raptors. 

Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation.
