Be a bat hero! Bat World Sanctuary is working to compile a running list of bat transport volunteers across the US. Wildlife rehabilitators across the country are swamped with calls this time of year. As rescuers, we are not funded by the government, nor do we receive compensation for our work. We volunteer our time and often our own money to save animals, and we rely heavily on the public to help us with transport missions and save more lives. By entering your information below, you are not actually committing to anything- but instead, letting us know that if a bat in your area needs help getting to a rescuer, we can call you to see if you are available to help. Bat transport is simple! The majority of the time, the bat will already be contained in a box, and all you need to do is meet with the finder, pick up the box, and take it to the nearest rescuer. Transport volunteers are not permitted to touch, or attempt to care for the bats, as doing so puts both the volunteer and the bat at risk. Volunteers will be contacted via phone if a bat needs help in the area. Please note that by filling out this form, your information will be available to confirmed bat rescuers across the US and you may be contacted by them. 

Transport volunteer requirements:
-Be 18 years of age or older with a drivers license 
-Have access to transportation
