Date Visited: 11/11/23I recently had an experience with Tufts Wildlife Clinic that left me with mixed feelings. I found a red hawk with an injured wing and brought it to the clinic, hoping for a recovery and eventual release. The hawk, despite its injury, appeared very healthy and active, showing signs of vitality.However, my experience took an unexpected turn. The following day, I learned that the clinic had decided to euthanize the hawk. This decision was surprising and deeply upsetting, especially since I had not anticipated this outcome for what seemed like a manageable injury.I understand that wildlife rehabilitation centers face difficult decisions and that sometimes euthanasia is considered the most humane option, particularly if the animal's chances of survival or quality of life are compromised. However, I believe that better communication about potential outcomes and more involvement in the decision-making process would have been greatly appreciated.Based on my experience, and hearing similar stories from others in the post below, it seems there may be a pattern of opting for euthanasia at this clinic. While I respect the expertise of the professionals at Tufts Wildlife Clinic, I wish there had been more consideration for alternative treatments or rehabilitation efforts, or at least a more thorough explanation provided to me regarding the decision to euthanize.

They were open on a Sunday and took 3 very badly injured baby bunnies we'd found in our yard. Everyone was incredibly compassionate. We're incredibly lucky to have such a caring and talented group of veterinarians in our area who are dedicated to helping wild animals.

Available on this past Sunday to accept a poisoned Great Horn Owl when no one else responded. They were quick to respond and took the poor feller in for care

A young woman promptly got back to me and immediately asked a pertinent question which had not occurred to me, and which settled my inquiry into the health and viability of a wild animal which I had found outdoors. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely amazing staff. They took in a severely injured crow on a Sunday morning. All of my messages received a call back within 5 minutes. Everyone I spoke with was so kind, they truly do amazing work. Unfortunately the crow did not make it. They did what they could for him, but his injuries were too extensive. I'm so thankful to the team who gave him a chance despite his odds. Rest in peace, little guy, and thank you to the team who took care of him.

Amazing staff, worked with a nice woman named Sam who was very accommodating, respectful and passionate in her job. Could see her in charge of a place like this one day. Thank you for helping save my bird!

They made dropping off injured wildlife quick and painless and you can even ask them for updates on the animal you dropped off. Just be sure to follow the directions on their website before you bring anything to them.

They were there for a little America Robin I found on my block suffering from neurological problems. Thank you ?

Terrible place - never again. We found a baby starling that fell from the nest which was too high for us to reach to replace him. Although only a day or so old, the baby was full of life, moving and vocalizing quite strongly. We found him in the evening, after the wildlife clinic had closed so we took him to Emergency. The staff in Emergency were wonderful and immediately responsive. When I called to check on him today I was given a run around by the staff in wildlife who claimed Emergency never sent them a bird this morning and that Emergency must have euthanized him. I called Emergency and was told that the baby survived the night and was doing well and that they DID send him over to wildlife this morning. I called wildlife back, left another message, and no one returned my call. The reality is the wildlife clinic euthanized him (or perhaps just left him to die) and then lied about it by trying to blame Emergency. I'm shocked and disgusted at their cavalier attitude. This baby bird deserved a chance; Emergency gave him one and wildlife decided not to bother. Had I known they would do that, I would not have taken the baby there. Shame on everyone at the wildlife clinic. I'm giving them ZEEO stars. A deceitful group with an attitude of "it's only a baby bird". What kind of attitude is that for a wildlife clinic?

They euthanize baby animals here all the time. Seems like the staff can’t bother to monitor for infections, bottle feed, or really even care. You think you’re helping nature by bringing an injured animal here, no they just kill it for the most made up and impractical reasons possible.

I’ve brought a few injured wild animals to the Tufts Wildlife Clinic. They always do their best to save the animals if they can and will provide updates if you call.

Wonderful staff, very responsive. We dropped off a sweet little bunny that had been bitten by our cat. Very easy drop off!

This place does amazing work. There are a few people who’ve left negative reviews with a clear misunderstanding of what the mission is here - they work tireless (for very little money) to provide each individual animal with the best possible outcome. They care deeply about their patients; in wildlife medicine, there is no gratification from puppy kisses or grateful owners. They do what they do because of an intrinsic motivation to provide care to injured and sick wildlife, and they do it well.

We had found an injured rabbit at work and had left them a message while heading there. When I got there, they greeted me and checked on the rabbit immediately. They are truly so professional and sweet
