WILDLIFE EMERGENCY?
Please call us at 905-442-1648
Currently we have limited capacity to the number of patient and species that we can accept. For this reason we are not accepting drop in wildlife admissions.
You must contact our wildlife technician so we can ensure that a trained staff member is able to accept the animal. As the well being of the animal is our first priority we will not be making acceptations to this. Should we be unable to admit the animal, our trained staff will provide you with other options to explore.
Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue, a partner of Heroes 4 Wildlife, is licensed by the Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry and Canadian Wildlife Services to rescue, rehabilitate and release sick, injured, abandoned, and orphaned wildlife.
Our specialty is native wildlife; for this reason, we do not accept domesticated species.

GET WELL DONATIONS
We do not receive funding from the government or any other agency.
Our ability to rehabilitate wildlife is based solely on funds from corporate sponsorship, grants and our community donations. For this reason, a Get Well Donation for animals brought to our facility is highly encouraged. As a thank you, those who provide a donation are able to receive patient updates.
Your Get Well Donation assists each animal with:
-
Veterinary Check-up
-
Treatment & Medication
-
Species-Specific Feed & Supplements
-
Bedding & Enrichment Items
-
Around the Clock Care
Each animal that comes under our care stays with us anywhere from a few days to many months! Orphaned babies can spend months under our care before being able to be released back into the wild. Sick and injured animals will be here even longer as the healing process takes time.
There is no minimum Get Well Donation, every little bit helps! Additional contributions are always welcome too!
Still Unsure?
