Tufts Wildlife Clinic

I'd give this clinic 0 stars if I could. I brought two injured Canada geese to this clinic - broken wing and swollen foot -, and staff and clinic director treated me nastily, refusing to give me updates about the two birds I rescued. Those people are arrogant, lack compassion for animals, and are disrespectful of the people who bring in animals for treatment. They use their power as weapon against people who genuinely love wild animals. I really decry the poor services they offer for injured animals, and the tyrannical, cruel way members of the public, like myself, are treated by those arrogant, uncaring staff and veterinarian doctors of Tuft's Wildlife Clinic. Those veterinarians are fast to euthanize animals who could be saved by a treatment. This is the case of waterfowls. Canada gees

Date Visited: 11/11/23 I 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

If you love your pet, do NOT take them here. 2 years ago on December 22nd, 2022 my sister and I took our bunny here because she was acting very strange. Her systems aligned with a common sickness bunnies can face and bounce back from called ‘GI Stasis’. We brought her in at 12am to try to get urgent care and get this common condition treated. What we thought was going to be a visit to get her treated turned out to be a NIGHTMARE. The vets told us that it “sounds like” she has cancer. The first thing they told us was that our 1 year old healthy bunny (besides what we took her in for) had cancer and had been sick- without even performing ANY tests on her. They took her to their back room to give her an IV and we didn’t see her again for HOURS. We were advised we euthanize her as soon as pos

We had an injured pigeon show up in our yard. After our dogs threatened it further I called Tufts. They suggested that I bring him in. Upon arriving, they agreed to keep him, nurse him back to health and once he fully recovered attempt to find his owner (he had a band on one leg) and return him if the owner wanted him returned or release him in an appropriate area otherwise. A wonderful outcome, especially for a member of a species that is too often considered less desirable.

Heartbreaking experience Bought a young bunny to Tufts Wildlife Clinic for evaluation and treatment in July 2025, but instead, I felt completely shut out of the process. Staff were uncommunicative and rude, and I was later devastated to learn the animal had been euthanized shortly without any communication. The animal was eating, energetic just the morning it was brought to the clinic. Its tooth was overgrown, and I believe it could have been filed. Bunnies' teeth grow all the time, and filing them is a common procedure. My expectation was that Tufts Wildlife would bring their expertise to treat what is common for bunnies. But Tufts Wildlife Clinic chose what felt like the easiest path: to end its life. I made the wrong choice in bringing it to Tufts Wildlife Clinic. I share this so that
