animal rehabilitation

Healing injured creatures

Animal rehabilitation is the process of treating and caring for injured, sick, or orphaned wild animals with the goal of returning them to their natural habitat.

Rehabilitation centers provide medical care, physical therapy, and gradual reintroduction to wild conditions.

The term also applies to domestic animals recovering from abuse or neglect: The rescue specializes in animal rehabilitation for fighting dogs.
