Windmill Animal Rescue & Wildlife Rehabilitation — Local services in Elko New Market

If I can give it a zero I would. The workers are very unprofessional and rude.

Me and my boyfriend went there to volunteer for our high school project. We volunteered once before for the project. This last time we emailed them and told them the day we are able to come in and they said that it was good and we could go. We get there and they didn’t even remember we were supposed to come in (this happened every time) and then told us they didn’t have anything for us and to come back on Thursday (nov 14 2024)

We get there right after school and waited in the car until the time they told us to come in. We go in there and the worker asks if we need anything. Once we tell her we were there to volunteer she started yelling (yea yelling) at us that she already had 2 volunteers and that she it would be to many and to just go home.

I understand having to much people but we have wasted gas every time they tell us to come in and then turn us away.

I have notified Amanda that we have an adoptee in progress and that we can hold the cat until the owner arrives. The adoptee agreed to pay me the adoption fee, not to Amanda. I stated numerous times how that $ will go to the girl who paid for vaccine shots out of her own pocket for this stray cat.

This is where she went nuts, saying how we are rude. Hello? I didn't agree to give you the cat nor to give you $.

This is when she started to harass Jordan vet clinic who did the shots for the cat. We will not tolerate...

After finding an orphaned wood duck in our chicken coop, I called the Windmill (which is listed as an animal rescue and wildlife rehab location) and described the situation. They responded with "We don't have our wildlife rehab license!" and then proceeded to hang up on me. I called back several times thinking it was an accidental hang up, but they clearly have Caller ID and would pick up the phone and immediately hang up every time I called. They are NOT helpful in regards to animal rescue or wildlife rehab. At all. Furthermore, it was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL how they handled my question. Not...
