Are you concerned about a wildlife rehabilitation 'crisis' in Ontario?

Click on the News tab on the left and read the commentary published by OWREN for an open and honest look at the facts.

Don't believe everything you read that certain 'rights' groups are sending you.

Niagara Wildlife Haven is Authorized by the Ministry of Natural Resources as a wildlife rehabilitation facility in Niagara.

We are the only facility in the Niagara peninsula that is licensed to work with all species.

We cover a very large area and accept wildlife from the Niagara peninsula - in general, the areas:

* east of Hamilton and Dunnville to the Niagara River;

* between the south shore of Lake Ontario and the north shore of Lake Erie;

* Grimsby, Beamsville, Winona, Vineland,

Welland, Wainfleet, Port Colborne, Pelham,

Niagara Falls, Niagara on the Lake, Fort Erie,

St. Catharines, West Lincoln, Thorold; and

* portions of the Guelph District as referred to us by the MNR.

There is a very large native wildlife population in these urban areas and their habitats are being encroached upon in very rapid fashion, by development.

We do not receive any funding from any level of government, be it provincial, federal, regional or at the city, town and/or township levels.

We are only able to care for wildlife through compassionate donations made by members of the public - YOU! Please give generously so we can keep the doors open and continue this important work with these animals.

While we admit these wild animals at no charge to the finders, it's important to remember that unlike humans (and some pets) they don't carry any health insurance policies so the cost of their care can exceed our means. When that happens we can't accept any more for care. Donations are so critical to our ability to provide help.

Check out our 'Want To Help?' pages for information and a volunteer application, and our 'Donations' page for other ways you can help us.

We will continue to develop this website as a first class educational resource for Niagara residents to help them learn about the species that share this space with us. We'll highlight our work and continue to ask for your support. Visit frequently and if you feel you can help by volunteering - please apply.
