STAY WILD is a small rehabilitation center in Trumansburg, New York. The rescue is operated by Jane George and Dan Soboleski, a husband-wife duo of certified New York State Wildlife Rehabilitators, with the help of local volunteers.

All animals are housed either onsite in Jane and Dan’s home and barns or in local foster homes. STAY WILD is a unique organization that rescues and rehabilitates domestic animals (dogs, cats, and small animals) as well as sick and injured wildlife.

Domestic Animals:

STAY WILD does not have a shelter or use cages; all domestic animals are rehabbed in our home or in foster homes. We are always in need of more foster homes. If you are interested in learning more or getting involved contact us or apply now!

Most domestic animals in our care are very sick or injured and require extensive care and multiple vet visits to diagnose and treat their individual conditions. Each one is spayed or neutered and fully vaccinated before being adopted into their forever home. Applications for adoption are available on the Adopt page.

Wildlife:

STAY WILD works mainly with orphaned neo-natal and juvenile or recovering adult wildlife. Check out our Wildlife Resources page for common questions and additional resources!

How can you help?

STAY WILD has no paid employees and is completely volunteer run. We count on volunteers to help with all aspects of the organization. We accept volunteers of all ages to assist with many different aspects of our work. Visit our Volunteer page to apply or learn more.

We rely on donations to care for animals. Please consider making a financial donation or purchase something off our wishlist. Details and more information can be found on our Donation page.
