Wildlife Hospital

The Sanctuary's wildlife hospital is designed to care for injured and orphaned wild animals.  The goal is to provide the medical treatment necessary to ensure the recovered patients can be released back to the wild.  These treasured creatures are an integral part of our natural environment.

Each year, over 4,400 animals receive medical care at our facility.  Local veterinarians from Harmony Animal Hospital donate their time to provide medical and surgical treatment to many of our animal patients.  Approximately 90% of the animals treated have suffered injuries directly related to humans.  The most common injuries include car collisions, entanglement with fishing line, electrocutions and illegal gunshot wounds.

On the average, 30-35% of the animals treated recover fully and are returned to the wild.  Unfortunately, many of our patients suffer from traumatic injuries causing permanent impairments.  Some of the rehabilitated animals not able to be returned to the wild become permanent residents of the Sanctuary.
