While the Department of Fish and Game is NOT a wildlife rehabilitator, we recognize the value of rehabilitative care for individual wild animals.
DFG works with interested agencies and organizations - volunteer and otherwise - to ensure high quality practices in the rehabilitation of sick, injured, orphaned, or displaced California wildlife.
For the purpose of this policy, wildlife rehabilitation means "any activity undertaken to restore to a condition of good health, for the purpose of release to the wild, animals occurring naturally and not normally domesticated in this State."
Animals listed as detrimental in Section 671 of Title 14, CCR shall be rehabilitated and released only as specifically authorized by the department.
Extended care of animals listed in Section 671, viable wild populations of which do not exist in California, shall occur only under the authority of a permit issued pursuant to that Section.
