About

Mississippi River Wildlife Assistance is made up of many Independent licensed apprentices and rehabbers across the state of Iowa and Illinois along the Mississippi River, bringing together a very powerful group of excellent rehabbers, apprentices, assistances and knowledge.

Our goal for this group is to help assess, give advice to those in need who come across wildlife that think may need our assistance whether on what to do for advice or if an animal needs to be brought into rehab.. We are strict about keeping babies with their mother
