If you need help regarding wildlife, send an email to [email protected] with a photo of the animal, the address where the animal was found, a detailed description of how you found it, and your phone number. The Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary (RVWS) is a not-for-profit corporation and registered charity (registration # 82731 7744 RR0001). Our mission is to treat and care for injured or orph
aned wild mammals and reptiles until they are healthy enough to be returned to the wild. We also offer advice to the public on rescuing wildlife, co-existing peacefully with wildlife, and preventing or solving wildlife conflicts using humane, cost-effective ways. Our street address is not public because we are located on private property; RVWS is not a public drop-in centre; and our first priority when assessing potentially orphaned wildlife is to make sure they need help, and determine if reuniting the babies with their mom is feasible. Our website, www.rideauwildlife.org/help has extensive information by species on when to rescue wildlife, how to reunite babies with their mom and solutions to common problems. To contact us, please send an email to [email protected] with your phone number, a photo of the animal, details on how you found it and the address you found it. Thank you for helping wildlife.
