SkunkHaven.Net is our Domestic Skunk Care and Rescue site.
We own and operate SkunkHaven Shelter. We are a 501(c)3 Tax Exempt corporation.
We are an international rescue and assistance group that will help anyone with their pet skunks. If you need advice or can not care for your skunk any longer please call or email us for help. We have our APHIS-USDA license and Ohio permits for transport and dealer activities. We have contacts in many areas that can help you!
We are dedicated to collecting and distributing information on proper dietary health, medical treatments, and traditional and non-traditional recuperative processes.
Contact us if you have a pet skunk that you can no longer care for, or you would like to adopt a pet skunk. We have members and associates throughout the US, Canada, and several European countries, and can provide direct support and assistance in almost all cases.
All these efforts cost money, we are not funded by the government. Even one dollar helps buy food for the skunks. All money will go toward skunks, medical supplies, food, bedding, toys, vet bills, etc.
Please HELP keep the shelter alive by donating something. We are always in need of supplies and other items for the shelter.
It is illegal to take skunks from the wild in most states, if you find an abandoned or injured wild skunk contact a wildlife rehabilitation center for assistance. If you need a referral we can assist you with finding a legal rehabilitator in your area.
Skunks can be good pets for persons with disabilities, provided a non-disabled person is in the home regularly. Skunks learn as quickly as other small animal pets and can be properly trained to live in a home with someone with vision, vocal, or physical disabilities. Although we caution anyone considering a skunk as a pet we would not discourage someone with disabilities from seeking information and making an informed choice to obtain a pet skunk.
