More information
Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre has been in operation for 15 years. We work closely with the Napanee Humane Society. In 2009, over 1300 mammals and birds were admitted to the Centre, and most were released successfully. When animals are admitted, they receive a physical examination to determine what injury has occurred and their health status. We then decide on a course of treatment based on medication, nutrition, and proper environment. Their length of stay depends on the complexity of the treatment and can range from a few days to several months. Orphaned wildlife may require extended care depending on the species, until they have learned the skills necessary to survive in the wild. A successful rehabilitation results in the release of the animal, in the area where it was originally found. SPWC is a registered charitable wildlife welfare organization supported by donations and fund raising.
