News & Events

Last year saw over 1200 animal intakes, and many other accomplishments!

SCWR has been flourishing, taking in well over 1000 animals in 2005. This is a significant benefit to the community, and to wildlife. Keep in mind that Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue is a private, non-profit organization. We receive no funds from the County of Sonoma.

Other accomplishments include:

Successfully launched our Wildlife "Exclusion" service, which helps homeowners keep wild animals out of their homes. This is a fee-based service because it requires staff, labor, and material costs. Our Board of Directors intentionally set fees to be far lower than traditional services. This service is in direct support of our charter - allowing the animals to live outside where they belong. Traditional "removal" services must, by law, kill the animal - often leaving babies to die under the home.
