BADGAR Emergency Wildlife Rescue
This organisation is owned and operated by Greendale Wildlife Shelter. BADGAR offers a 24 hour rescue service for injured wild animals. Their role is to retrieve the animal and transport it to the closest wildlife shelter.
We have worked closely with BADGAR over the years and they are a highly trained, extremely dedicated and committed team of people.
Their direct number is 1300 BADGAR (223427)

Their mission is “to protect, rescue, rehabilitate, and release Victorian sick, injured or orphaned native wildlife through a network of wildlife rescuers, carers and other volunteers.”
We have received many birds of prey through Wildlife Victoria since we started the shelter.
