The primary purpose of A Squirrel's Tale Wildlife Rehabilitation is to rehabilitate and release orphaned and injured wildlife. Entirely a volunteer effort, it consists of an initial intake assessment of wild animals received from the general public, then obtaining medical care from a licensed veterinarian as necessary, and finally housing the animal appropriately and providing a proper diet. In the case of orphaned infant wildlife the appropriate environment for it to develop as it would if raised in the wild is also provided (e.g. living with others of the same species, appropriate environmental stimulation, etc.) When the animal has either healed enough or is old enough to survive on its own it is taken to an appropriate release site and allowed to go free. Depending on the species, the release process may require temporary caging and/or supplemental feeding as the animal(s) acclimate to their new surroundings. Records of these activities are maintained by each rehabilitator and submitted to the state's licensing agency according to state guidelines and regulations. A Squirrel's Tale also works to educate the public about wildlife and environmental issues affecting them through the use of photography and writing.

“Our primary focus is on Sciuridae, and to that end we take in orphaned and abandoned baby squirrels, raise them, then release them back into their natural environments. We also care for injured adults as well as various other small, native Michigan wild mammals.”
