Wild at Heart Wildlife Refuge Centre

Wild at Heart specializes in the rehabilitation, treatment, and care of orphaned, injured, and sick wildlife. The centre cares for a wide variety of species which comprises large mammals, small mammals, song birds, raptors, reptiles and amphibians.

The centre is fortunate to work with the Walden Animal Hospital in Lively where we have access to qualified veterinarians and technicians for examinations, x-rays, mediciations, and surgeries. The hospital provides these services at no cost to the centre allowing wildlife to receive the best care and treatment possible.

Our facility is licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for rehabilitation as well as a license for treating migratory birds.

The facility is the only centre of our kind in Northern Ontario and we receive animals from not only the Greater Sudbury area, but from all across Northern Ontario. Wild at Heart currently cares for over 600 animals each year, and this number is increasing annually.

In addition to caring for wildlife, Wild at Heart believes it is important to educate our community about human-animal conflicts. The centre delivers presentations to classrooms, community groups, and the public. As well, Wild at Heart participates in community events to help raise awareness and support the work of our centre.
