| More information about wildlife rehabilitation and those who dedicate their lives to the welfare of abused, and abandoned domestic animals. (Links below will open in a new window)
OWREN (Ontario Wildlife Rehabilitation & Education Network)
OWREN offers courses and conferences for those interested in becoming authorized wildlife custodians or those who work with wildlife and would like to learn more. An individual wildlife rehabilitation facility can provide training, but it isn't as thorough as the training you get with OWREN.
SPCA's or Humane Societies in the area
NOTE: SPCA/Humane Societies are mandated under the Ontario SPCA Act to act to relieve suffering or distress for all animals (wild or domestic). That means in plain English, that if you have found an INJURED wild animal, the humane society MUST, under the law, respond to the call. They may attempt to tell you that they don't "do" wildlife, and in effect they are telling you that they won't make the effort to bring the injured animal to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for care and they will just euthanize it once they bring it back to the shelter. You can follow up and ensure they take it to a wildlife rehabilitator to be assessed. They do NOT have the training to determine if a wild animal can be helped or not. If you make a donation for the care of the wild animal - ensure that donation (along with the injured animal) gets to the wildlife rehabilitator who will be paying for that care out of his or her own pocket.

Every single tree and patch of ground it roots in; every stream, pond or lake is 'home' to a wild animal.
When you look in the eyes of these displaced, sick and orphaned animals you understand and you see that they are the helpless victims of habitat loss.
What is our personal responsibility?
To mitigate the damage we have done.
