Welcome to Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue, Durham Region's ONLY Wildlife Rehabilitation Hospital; we are licensed by the Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry and Canadian Wildlife Services to rescue and rehabilitate sick, injured, abandoned, and orphaned wildlife. Our goal is to release our patients back into the wild.

We do not receive funding from the government.
Our ability to do this is based solely on our educational programming, and you - our community!

Take our video tour!

Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue offers a variety of interactive and educational programming for children, families and adults. We reconnect our community with the natural world.

"In the end, we will only conserve what we love,
we will only love what we know,
we will only know what we are taught."
-Baba Dioum
