Any Suggestions?

[Coincidentally]

Have a porcupine in the garage, poor thing is scared to death, quills all over the floor. I have called Animal Control, Wildlife Control, SPCA, Wildlife Protection, Private Wildlife centers NO One wants to deal with a porcupine. Do not want to scare it out of the garage for it to just go into someone elses yard. (maybe getting anothers pet). It is full size, they have clear cut the mountain directly behind us which is where it probablly came from. Does anyone know of someone who will come an capture it and relocate it?

Poor thing, I sure hate what we are doing to this planet Hopefully you can find someone to take care of the little guy.

unless your willing to put it in a box and relocate it yourself, good luck. You might as well give it the old flush down the toilet, and by flush I mean Shovel to the head and by toilet i mean the garbage or the "woods" behind you house and let something eat it.

I had to relocate a porcupine Mom and Baby once. They are not hard to "catch". caught it in a rubbermaid and then released in a forest. Tempt him in with fruit and close it when he goes in. Not sure you are willing to try but....it is possible. Unforunate that Wildlife control won't help you out.
My thoughts...at the very least scare him back to the mountain in hopes that he finds a home back towards the bushes. Atleast then he has a chance.
Good Luck......

Okay really?

Here is another avenue that you may try. Call your local newspaper. They love to eat stuff like this up when the proper Government ppl aren't doing there job.
I used to work at the SPCA and it is Wildlife Controls issue when it comes to anything "WILD" So they should b out there with a trap for it to trap it humanly without injury to you or it.

Okay I change my answer, give it a baloon to play with then when thats over and done with call wildlife control so they can trap/shoot it and "dispose" of it. They probably wont relocate a porcupine.

Be real people, Some things just suck.

not everything is jello covered in teddybears

Okay so we shouldn't try right? We just grab a shovel and hit it over the head and throw it out back? When WE are the ones who created the reason for it to end up in his garage by cutting down its home.
Wow some people never cease to amaze me!!

you're just one big softie, aren't you? Hope you take more care with your tank.
In my world, everything is jello covered in teddy bears(= good thing, right?). Catch the poor thing, give it some food and find it a home.

actualy it wouldn't be there job, it would be the owners responcibility to get rid of it if it is on privat property.. best thing you could probaby do is call a pest removal company.. they might be able to at least stear you in the right direction.. might cost a bit but if you don't want to atempt it your self..

I used to rent a farm and we did things a bit differnetly.. but it was the porcupine or rish the pain to my dog if I let it stick around.. and if I tried to relocated it I would probably be the one that ended up being shot byy the farmer whos land I relocated it to.. guess growing up on a farm gives you different ideas that if you grew up in the city looking at pests on some one elses property. now I wouldn't say beet it with a shovel, that is kinda cruel, and you can shoot a shot gun in a residential area, sooo you are left with baiting it out and relocating it to goverment land or poision..

personaly in your situation I would try trapping it but make sure you drive a hell of a long ways away as it will comeback if it is close enough..
