Hope For Wildlife

“Staying connected to wildlife teaches us resilience and empathy, qualities that benefit every aspect of our lives."

- Hope Swinimer

Happy New Year & Thank You to all of our supporters and lovers of wildlife!

With the arrival of the new year, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for all of the amazing help we get from our supporters, compassionate wildlife-loving citizens, our volunteers, and our staff. It takes everyone working together to make the world a better place for the wild neighbours that we share our world with.

We thought you'd be interested to see what a year looks like! Our final patient count for the year is just over 6200 animals from over 260 different species. June 22nd was our busiest rescue day, when we admitted 81 patients in a single day. The following day, we reached our highest in-care patient count when we topped 891 animals being cared for at once. About 57% of our rescues were birds, 34% were mammals, and the rest were reptiles and amphibians.

That's a lot of orphaned, sick, and injured wildlife that got help because of you all.

A barred owl was brought to us after being hit by a car. Apart from some mild head trauma, there were no other injuries. After a couple of weeks of treatment and recuperating with us, she was healthy and strong enough to be released. Releases are always an incredible moment for us. They can range from a porcupine slowly ambling into the woods to the sudden bolt of a bobcat as he sprints out of sight. Regardless of the manner one of our patients goes home, releasing a healthy, strong, and viable wild animal back to natural habitat is always special experience.

'Tis the season for snacking, and our young porcupines are always ready for some nibbling to go along with their thoughtful reflection on the art and science of nibbling. We are pretty sure that in the porcupine world, the loud sounds of nibbling are compliments to the chef.

Even though they can be over quickly, releases are the best part of what we do and they are always a wonderful thing to experience. Back in early November we released this red-tailed hawk after a short stay with us following her being hit by a car. Fortunately, there were no serious injuries and she just needed a little medical attention and some time to recover from mild head trauma. We think she looks pretty happy to be back. What do you think?
