Frequently asked questions.
Do you handled injured animals in public locations?
At this time we do not handle injured animals in public locations. We do have a fee we charge to come pick up the animal and take it to one of our local rehabbers, if the situation allows. Each situation is different and we welcome calls, we can work with you to find the person best suited for your situation if we are unable to help.
Are you able to help with Gopher Tortoises?
We are not. A gopher tortoise can be relocated, but it is a regulated process that requires a permit and the assistance of a certified agent. It is illegal to capture, possess, or transport these protected animals without special permits. Land clearing projects involving gopher tortoises must obtain permits from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) before any capture and relocation takes place.
Does your service remove Dead Animals from public locations like roads?

State or County Roads: Contact the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) or the local county road maintenance department.
City Roads: Contact your specific city's Public Works or Waste Management department
Do you remove Dead Animals from private residential locations?
