Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation

Acorn Acres Wildlife Rehabilitation is a Pennsylvania nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing eligible prey species and Virginia opossums so wild animals can return to their natural habitats. Founded in 2010 by Betsy Shank, the organization serves Lancaster County and Central Pennsylvania with compassionate, evidence-based care for injured, sick, or orphaned wildlife ranging from mice to beavers.

• Services: The clinic provides intake guidance, species-appropriate rehabilitation care, and coordinated release into suitable habitat while offering public education on safe handling.
• Industries: Operations focus exclusively on small mammals including squirrels, cottontails, groundhogs, rabbits, and Virginia opossums within the Pennsylvania region.
• Customers: The facility assists individuals who find injured or orphaned wildlife by providing assessment help and ensuring animals are managed safely and legally.

The organization operates strictly by appointment only between April and September to ensure fast, appropriate care for every patient.
