Since 1984, many of Iowa's endangered, threatened and common wildlife species have been given a second chance, thanks to the ISU College of Veterinary Medicine's Wildlife Care Clinic. Founded by Dr. Susan Barrows and currently directed by Dr. Mary Ann Nieves, the clinic is staffed solely by volunteers, including veterinarians, veterinary students, and othercaring individuals. Volunteers are required to complete two weeks of training and must be proficient in handling, bandaging and tube feeding.
