Since 1979, the Wildlife Rescue Association of BC has been a beacon of hope for over 140,000 injured and orphaned wild animals. Celebrating more than 45 years of unwavering dedication, we stand as the busiest wildlife rehabilitation center in Western Canada. Our mission is fueled by volunteers, donors, and a compassionate community, extending our care from the Lower Mainland across our beautiful province, reaching far as Haida Gwaii and Williams Lake. 

Each year, our team treats approximately 5,000 patients and assists countless others through public education and emergency response services. Wildlife Rescue is more than just a rehabilitation center; it’s a lifeline for animals impacted by urban challenges such as habitat loss, pollution, and human activity. From newborn ducklings orphaned by tragic car collisions, tiny songbirds trapped on sticky traps, to herons entangled in fishing lines, Wildlife Rescue is there whenever local wildlife faces life-threatening challenges. Our vision is to continually improve the welfare of urban wildlife by preventing harm and protecting wild animals in their natural environment. 

With over 85% of our funding coming from individual donations, we rely on the generosity of people like you. In these challenging times, your support is more crucial than ever. Help us protect and rehabilitate BC's wildlife, fostering a future where humans and animals coexist harmoniously. Join us in our mission to give our precious wild neighbours the second chance they deserve.
