Found a baby squirrel, opossum, or raccoon? What should you do—and more importantly, when should you help?

We talk to licensed wildlife rehabilitator Leah Anderessen of Silent Voices Wildlife Rehabilitation for the essential guide to protecting our wild neighbors. Leah shares the proper steps for finding help, the legal and ethical reasons why you should never keep a wild animal as a pet, and answers your most common questions!
