Animal Care

The mission of Humane Society Yukon (HSY) has four core elements: To foster a caring, compassionate atmosphere towards animals; To prevent and suppress cruelty to animals; To promote a humane ethic and responsible pet ownership; and To operate one or more animal shelters. HSY was founded in 1987 as a direct result of a local Yukon outfitter allowing his horses to starve to death. The organization originally consisted of nothing more than a fenced-in dog area on Andrea and Florian Lemphers’s rural acreage and a second telephone line in their home. In 1989, Humane Society Yukon was officially registered as a non-profit society in the Yukon. Today, the Society’s Board of Directors focuses on animal welfare education initiatives throughout the territory, as well as the operation of the Mae Bachur Animal Shelter in Whitehorse.

Whispering Rise Farm & Animal Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide sanctuary to abused, neglected, abandoned and surrendered potbelly pigs; to provide humane education to the public; and to offer an anthrozoological experience to individuals and small groups. The farm is available to those who want a volunteer or community service experience. We will offer an anthrozoological experience to children, youth and adults who are looking for a more a more intense spiritual or emotional connection to animals in need.

SCWC is housed in an old Gaithersburg farmhouse surrounded by fields, woods, a marsh and a stream. Several spacious flight cages, small mammal enclosures and waterfowl pens are located on the adjacent lawns. Many recently released animals share the grounds with the permanent wild residents before moving on to establish their own niches in the surrounding fields and woods. Others are released at special sites such as nature centers and animal sanctuaries that are protected for wildlife. Each year, concerned citizens bring in thousands of native wildlife for medical treatment, attentive care and release. Founded by Christine Montuori, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator since 1986, who trained as a volunteer at a wildlife center in Bowie and obtained her State and Federal wildlife rehabilitation permits in 1986 and 1988, respectively. Working out of her home, she cared for as many as 1,200 animals per year and incorporated as Second Chance Wildlife Center in 1995. In June of 1996, she moved the operation to its present location in Gaithersburg. The facility, owned by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, now treats an average 3,500 animals annually. SCWC rehabilitates orphaned, injured and ill songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, squirrels, groundhogs, chipmunks, bats, rabbits, turtles, and a host of other native species. Our volunteer staff veterinarian performs surgical procedures on site as needed. We thoroughly test the animals before they are released, to ensure that they have sufficient skills to survive in the wild. As a relatively new science, wildlife rehabilitation is a growing field. Innovations and advancements in care and treatment are constantly being made, and the staff and volunteers of SCWC keep abreast of these developments through networking with other rehabilitators; membership in state, national and international wildlife rehabilitation organizations; and attending conferences and training seminars. SCWC accepts admissions from 9:00AM to 5:00PM every day of the year. Staff, interns and volunteers work 10 to 14 hours per day caring for patients during the busy spring and summer months. SCWC was accredited by the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council in 1997 and was awarded the Governor’s Citation in October 1998. SCWC is a 501(c) non-profit organization and relies on public donations to continue its work. The average cost to rehabilitate a single wild animal is $75.00. Take some time to explore our web site to learn about what we do and how you can help us make a difference. Note: SCWC does not deal with domestic animals; for example feral/stray cats, domestic ducks, or “egg hatching projects”. Please call the Humane Society for issues concerning domestic animals.

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.

The Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society in Delta, British Columbia is a non-profit organization whose volunteers are dedicated to public education and the rehabilitation and release of injured and orphaned birds. O.W.L. became a Society in January 1985 (Registration No. S-19879). O.W.L. is licensed through Fish and Wildlife, now known as the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. O.W.L. is on call seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. Public tours are available daily in July and August and every Saturday and Sunday from September to June between 10:00am and 3:00pm. The facility specializes in raptors (i.e. eagles, falcons, hawks and owls). Birds of prey patients at O.W.L. number over four hundred each year and as O.W.L.’s facilities have expanded, so has the intake. Primary care for injured birds (i.e. fluid injections, tube feeding, and initial treatment of broken bones to stabilize) is administered by staff. Veterinary care (i.e. surgery involving the pinning of fractures, radiographs and amputations) is contributed by local clinics such as Huff Animal Hospital, Richmond Animal Hospital, and Tsawwassen Animal Hospital. Birds of prey are sent to O.W.L. from all over British Columbia, other provinces and the U.S.A. The majority of birds arrive from the Lower Mainland. Although we encourage the public to transport injured or orphaned birds to the facility, O.W.L. has a network of volunteers when pick-up is necessary. Over 40 non-releasable birds of prey are permanent residents, some assist with fostering orphans and some assist with educating the public.

Critter Care Wildlife Society specializes in the treatment, care and release of sick, injured and orphaned Native Mammal species of British Columbia. We are the only facility in BC specializing in the care of ALL of BC’s mammals, and one of only four Bear Rehab facilities in the province. In addition to rehabilitation we are involved in community based education programs at primary, secondary, and collegiate levels. We work to educate the public through involvement in civic groups, seniors homes and assist other wildlife management organizations. Our internship program has reached a new landmark this year, extending invitations to more than 25 collegiate or post graduate students from every continent on the planet but Antarctica! For the last 30 years we have been a part of the Greater British Columbia Community serving its people and its wildlife through education and rehabilitation. We are principally volunteer driven and depend solely on the support of the public to further our success. We are deeply grateful for your continued generosity.

The Sanctuary has rescued, rehabilitated and released hundreds of animals over the years and has become an important part of the wildlife rehabilitation landscape in Ontario. Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary was started in the early 1970s by a caring individual who wanted to help rehabilitate orphaned wildlife. A pioneer in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, her dedication and passion for rescuing animals was an inspiration to many and the driving force over more than thirty years at the sanctuary. We are proud to continue the work she started but respecting her own wishes, we also protect her privacy.  

Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary is a vegan 400-acre non-profit refuge for farm animals and wildlife located in Poolesville, Maryland. Founded in 1996, our mission is to offer care, rehabilitation, and permanent sanctuary for neglected, abused or abandoned farm animals, as well as providing a protected habitat for wildlife. We promote compassion and the humane treatment of all animals by educating the public on farm animal and wildlife issues. The restored colonial-era farmhouse situated on the property houses the operations of the sanctuary. Overlooking the Potomac River, and surrounded by ponds, streams, and open fields of preserved natural habitat, the sanctuary provides an idyllic setting for wildlife and farm animals. Through generous public donations, and the dedication of over 100 volunteers and 7 paid staff members, we’ve been able to not only maintain the farm and it’s acreage, but also build new barns and fences to house our growing animal family. From Petunia the pig, our first rescue, to the over 200 animals currently living at the sanctuary – your donations and support ensure their continued happiness and comfort. In addition to our scheduled special events, the sanctuary is open for tours and visits by appointment. Please call 301.428.8128 or email us to schedule a visit.

Welcome to Rude Ranch Animal Rescue, a no kill and cageless animal sanctuary serving the Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington DC areas. This sanctuary was created and exists to aid, rehabilitate and rehome abused and abandoned animals that would otherwise be euthanized. Rude Ranch Animal Rescue, Inc. is a Maryland Registered, 501(c)3 not for profit charity. Originally started in 1997, the property that currently houses the sanctuary was purchased in 1999. The house itself was built in 1995, and originally was used as a Hari Krishna temple. The design of the original house was augmented to facilitate the needs of the shelter. The main floor houses the administrative, storage and conference areas, while the lower floor is open to the public. There are three rooms for special needs cats on the upper floor. Adoptions Although the animals we rescue will have the best of care at the shelter, it is always our goal to find a special home for each pet. Therefore, if we deny an adoption application for a particular animal, please understand it is because we want the absolute best match of personality, temperament, and home environment for both the adoptive family and the pet.

Wirrimbirra Flora & Fauna Sanctuary in Bargo, NSW was established in 1963 by Thistle Stead, in memory of her husband David Stead. We are a non-profit organisation entirely run by volunteers who are dedicated to the preservation and conservation of Australia’s unique flora and fauna. We depend on the kind donations from the public to continue caring for these animals. The animals at Wirrimbirra are generally semi-friendly to people, but they are not trained by the volunteers, nor do we encourage hand feeding. We have marsupials like a Common Wombat, two Eastern Grey Kangaroos and Swamp Wallabies, we also have two Emus. There are a few bird aviaries that house a range of birds like Parrots, Cockatoos and two Tawny Frogmouths. The Wirrimbirra native plant nursery is one of the few nurseries in the shire dedicated totally to Australian native plants which are for sale to the public. We also have bush tucker gardens and a bush walk trail for both bush walkers and bird spotters.

SASHA Farm is the midwest’s largest farm animal sanctuary. At our shelter in Manchester, Michigan, not only do we provide food and water, veterinary care and a roof over their heads, we also give the animal residents affection, social interaction with others of their own species, and a sense of security. SASHA’s founders, Dorothy Davies and Monte Jackson, started saving animals a couple of decades ago. Among the first bunch was a nine-month-old pet shop puppy that a family had purchased, but couldn’t appropriately care for. A female Border Collie/Spaniel mix with a white tip on the end of her tail, she quickly worked her way into Monte’s and Dorothy’s hearts. She was the farm dog in charge of it all, keeping tabs on every other animal that came to live at the farm over the years. Sasha was a wonderful canine companion, a true friend, who lived and loved for 17 years. In honor and in memory of this beloved dog, her caretakers chose to name their sanctuary “SASHA Farm.” The name SASHA is also an acronym for the animal rescue operation – Sanctuary And Safe Haven for Animals. The sanctuary currently shelters over 200 animals, each with its own story to tell. Some were dumped and discarded, some left to die. They have come from unhappy circumstances, often mistreated or neglected, but now have a safe, permanent home at SASHA Farm. As you can see, rescuing and protecting animals has been an important mission for us for many years, and our sanctuary finally became a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in 2001. Donations made to SASHA Farm are tax deductible, and all donations are used to ensure good quality care for our animals, both now and into the future.

Animal Place provides safe haven to hundreds of abused farmed animals at our 600-acre Grass Valley sanctuary, and nurtures compassion through the promotion of a vegan lifestyle. We also operate a 60-acre farmed animal adoption center in Vacaville, CA.

We give animals a voice. Reduced to the functions of food supplier, measuring instrument or moving target, millions of animals suffer in Germany. Inadequate legislation and poor law enforcement mean that animal cruelty, whether in industrial factory farms or in animal testing laboratories, is considered practical and also perfectly legal. Even cruel and outmoded traditions such as the hobby hunting still exist in this country today. Our missions at Deutsches Tierschutzbüro is to fight against these everyday animal injustices. We have givens ourselves the role of lawyer for the animals, and to give them a voice and to argue for their rights. We document instances of animal cruelty and make them public, practicing with spectacular actions and intensive media work to place pressure on politicians to save animal lives. With our information and education campaigns, we are trying to reach people who have so far given little thought about animal welfare or the origin of animal products. Only when the majority of consumers and voters decide against products produced through animal torment and calls for better laws and tighter controls, will the situation of the animals change. That is what we strive for. Our goal is that animal shelters and sanctuaries are eventually empty and our work is unnecessary.

It all began with a little piglet named “Esther”. And the idea of a farm sanctuary was born. Steve Jenkins, a Realtor, and his life partner, Derek Walter, a Magician, were living an ordinary life when a rescued would-be mini pig came into their lives. Esther quickly stole their hearts and turned their lives upside down. Never ones to succumb to the fear of a challenge, Steve and Derek buckled up for the ride of a lifetime as “Esther the Wonder Pig” turned into a social media powerhouse. In just two short years, Esther had amassed hundreds of thousands of followers from all over the world, and her Dads, Steve and Derek, had become among the world’s most well-known and successful animal activists. In 2014, with help from Esther’s followers, Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary was born. Now Esther and her Dads rescue and rehabilitate abandoned and abused farmed animals, and spread Esther’s style of love and compassion – known as The Esther Effect! Home of Esther the Wonder Pig’s friends. Please donate: http://www.happilyeveresther.ca/donate/ Store: http://www.happilyeveresther.ca/store/

Circle L Ranch Animal Rescue and Sanctuary was founded by Dr. Deborah Wilson. Her love of animals has inspired many and her committment to them is nothing short of extraordinary. Beginning with the rescue of birds, both exotic and domestic, Dr. Wilson began Feathers Foundation, then quickly expanded her idealism to include the rescue of horses, goats, sheep, cattle and of course, dogs and cats. For her, there is no such thing as an animal that is “left behind”. Circle L Ranch houses our many horses, goats, sheep, cattle, and dogs, including senior and special needs dogs. It is a loving environment where the “un-adoptable” can live out their remaining years. The one thing that we realize is that it takes a pack to save a pet!

Piebird was started in 2005 by Sherry and Yan, as a loving home for animal-friends and a haven for loving-people like you. Piebird Vegan Farmstay naturally grew into a sanctuary as more and more animal-friends in need came to live and love here. To us, the part of Piebird that is most special is the joyful depth that the individual personalities of each of the animal-friends are celebrated. We let the animals tell their story. It’s a simple story, a story of love. They will tell it with a little kiss, a warm nudge, or a still look that captures our hearts and moves us a little more into the world of love. We believe these human-animal connections will allow people to see “farm” animals as friends and not as food or for service — helping these individuals to then make the compassionate choice to go vegan. There is always life-changing, inspiring magic when we meet a new friend for the first time! Our immediate future vision here at Piebird includes a couple years of steady growth for our sanctuary capacity. We invite you to be a part of the love!

Located in Mission, BC, Hearts on Noses (HONs) was established in 1999 as a sanctuary for potbellied pigs. “Mini pigs” were a popular pet in the 1980s, and continue to be bred and sold as companion animals today. However, many purchasers are ill prepared or misinformed about the adult size, behaviours, and needs of potbellied pigs, and fail to carry through with a lifetime commitment. In other cases, these pigs fall into the hands of abusers where they suffer cruelty and neglect. The sanctuary now provides a home to more than 40 pigs (including potbellied pigs and full size pigs who were destined to become food), as well as one horse, one cat, two dogs, and a turtle. The sanctuary is a place where these animals have found refuge from the harsh world that sees them as little more than pieces of property. Unlike so many others, they will receive love and care for the rest of their lives. At Hearts on Noses, all animals are equal and deserving of love and respect. Please support the work that we do to rescue animals and provide them with the best care. You can also make a huge difference for animals by refusing to support their exploitation – learn about living a vegan lifestyle to save countless unseen animals from lives of misery.

The Hawaii Island Humane Society is a non-profit 501(c)(3) which was incorporated in 1965. Since 1973 the Keaau Shelter has served the East Hawaii community. In 1990 the County of Hawaii asked HIHS to take over the Westside operations in Kona and Waimea, and HIHS has operated island-wide ever since. Our administrative headquarters are located in Kailua-Kona. Our mission is to prevent cruelty to animals, eliminate pet overpopulation, and enhance the bond between humans and animals. We provide shelter and care for abandoned, lost and unwanted pets, and try to find new homes for the thousands of animals that enter our shelters every year. We also reunite lost pets with their owners through our lost and found service and promoting different forms of identification, including licensing and microchipping. HIHS has a contract with the County of Hawaii to provide animal control services. We work to educate the public about responsible care of animals and work for better legislation to protect the people and pets of our Island. We offer 24 hour emergency service and accept any animal at any time for no charge. We never close our doors to any animal in need.

Cheetah’s Rock is a unique, very special place where people and animals interact directly – face to face, eye to eye. We are not a zoo, nor a wildlife sanctuary – We are something completely different. Prepare yourself for a magical, memorable and remarkable experience. We believe in introducing wildlife in a really different, much closer, interactive and more personal way. At Cheetah’s Rock we limit our guest numbers – this means guests have a lot more personal interaction with our animals. Our animals include our handsome cheetah Tyson, growing white Lion Aslan (born March 2014), our talented zebra Chaka and many others.
