All Animal Care in Gibsons

Gibsons Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is a non-profit, registered society providing care for injured and orphaned wild birds and small mammals on the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia. Each year the Centre receives hundreds of calls on behalf of distressed wildlife and cares for and shelters hundreds of animals including birds, deer, raccoons, and other small mammals. Treatment may be as simple as providing proper food, water and warmth to an orphaned fledgling until it is old enough to be released to the wild; or, as complex as arranging an operation for a deer to implant a pin in a broken bone. It may take several weeks or even months of care to prepare an animal for a second chance in its natural habitat. All this must be done without destroying the animal’s basic fear of humans, for, once on its own again, its life may depend on that natural fear.
