We provide specialized medical care to over 1,500 animals a year. With the help of our in house animal care team and a network of good Samaritan veterinarians off-site, we are able to perform surgeries, nutritional care, detailed exams and much more to give these animals the best chance of survival.

On average, Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue releases 80% of the patients who come to us for help. The majority return to where they were found. In certain cases, animals are released to special release sites provided by generous members of our community who love animals and want to share their property with them.
