Sloth Save believes that wild animals should remain free whenever possible. However, there are times when wild sloths need to be rescued, and hopefully, treated and later released. Unfortunate circumstances might include sloths hit by cars, electrocution by climbing on live wires or occasionally being mauled by dogs.
These circumstances may result in a sloth being injured and therefore not able to survive in the wild. At this point it is time to call in reinforcements. Whenever dealing with a wild animal care should be taken in handling. Gently placing a thick blanket over the sloth will allow the rescuer to carefully wrap the animal and transport it to the treatment facility. When searching for a reliable treatment partner, always inquire about the release record of the center. It is essential that the sloths are returned to the wild, after their rehabilitation, whenever possible.
Always research a sloth treatment facility before entrusting them with your rescued sloth. It is important to know that their objective is to get the sloth treated and back to the business of being a wild sloth as quickly as possible!
