This is the government animal control services operating in Allen County and sponsored by the city of Fort Wayne. This agency typically deals with domestic animal issues involving dogs and cats. This includes things like dangerous dogs, stray cats, pet adoptions, etc. However, this agency will sometimes lend assistance with wildlife concerns. Call (260) 427-1244 and ask if they will assist with your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, do not lie, but if applicable, state that the problem is a public health matter in Fort Wayne, or that you feel the public safety is at risk, perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.

This is NOT a government agency. It is privately run, and operates on volunteer donations. This is a wildlife rehabber facility that deals strictly with wild animals. They may be able to help you with your wildlife problem, depending on the type of problem. The level of help might depend on their resources at the time. They will almost surely help in any case of an injured wild animal, or an orphaned baby animal, such as a baby squirrel or bird that fell out of a tree, or a baby opossum, etc. Please treat Fort Wayne Wildlife Rehabilitation kindly and donate if you are able to.

This is the statewide government wildlife agency in Indiana, using your tax dollars to address wildlife issues. Sometimes called the Indiana Fish & Wildlife Agency. Indiana game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and yes, wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. But they also have resources that may apply to your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, state that the problem is a public health matter in Indiana perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.

Yes, the Fort Wayne police department will sometimes help with wildlife problems! I've seen many cases of the cops chasing down an errant bat in your house or snake in your pool! To increase the chance of success, never lie to the police dispatcher, but if applicable, state that you feel your personal safety is at risk, or the problem is a public safety matter in Fort Wayne, or a public health issue perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases. Success may come down to whether or not a police officer wants to show up to this call, or is available. It's not always consistent.

Fort Wayne Wildlife Tip:
Where to release raccoon - It's usually not legal for a homeowner to relocate a racoon. Even when you are allowed to catch the animal without a license, you are almost never allowed to transport it off your property and release it. Unfortunately, homeowners are often required to kill captured raccoons on their property. If you are not being watched by the all-seeing eyes of the law, you can attempt to relocate the raccoon. Make sure you cover the cage with a tarp or a blanket. This will keep the animal calm while you drive to the new location. The last thing you want is to open the cage of a frantic raccoon. You should also keep in mind, when trapping a raccoon that is in your attic or crawlspace, that most of these animals are female. The reason why the racoon is in your home is because she is looking for a safe place to give birth to her litter. In the wild, males will actively seek out babies not their own and kill them. This sends the adult female back into heat and allows the male to breed with her. If you're going to trap and relocate the adult in your home, don't forget to look for babies.
