how to know which rehab place is good???

[free]

I live in Chicago IL and was wondering what "reliable" wildlife rehab places there are here?? I love ALL animals. I feed our wild squirrels every day. About two weeks my friends hubby was coming homw from work and saw a mama squirrel get hit by a car. Well he got out and went to check on the sqiurrel and she was dead, but she had a little baby clinging to her belly. The baby was not harmed. Well my friends hubby brought the squirrel home with him. My friend found a rehab place to take the baby squirrel too. She was reserved about it though because you hear so many bad things about rehab places ( i.e., if they do not have enough funding they will just put animals down depneding on the condition). I was just wondering if anyone knows of a "good and reliable" rehab place here in Chicago IL or any suburb around here for future reference????

Thanks for that info... I looked at the blog. There is no address or phone number where to call though if you have an animal you need to bring to the rehab place. They just have a place you send a message to.

It says she is located in Princeton IL I believe. That is pretty far from where I am at. I will have to look it up and see though.

Thanks again...
