Who We Are

OHS Wildlife Rehabilitation is a department of the Ohlone Humane Society, a non-profit organization. We receive no city, state, or federal funds and are supported by memberships and your donations.

Our rehabilitation center is operated 7 days a week 9:00am-4:00pm April 1st - September 30th. We accept injured, ill, or orphaned wild animals.

Native wild animals consist of birds, reptiles, raptors, and mammals. We do not accept any domestic animals of any kind. Our full operation facility includes an exam room, three nursery rooms, and 10 outside aviaries. We rehabilitate approximately 1000 animals a year.

Volunteering

There are so many ways you can help with wildlife. Wildlife rehabilitation is not just assisting animals at the center. We need volunteers who can do administrative tasks, fund raising, build cages, or provide animal rehabilitation homecare.

Volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center has so many positive effects. It provides a personal connection with nature and it offers an avenue for you to give back to your community. It provides an on-going opportunity for personal growth, problem solving, decision-making, and crisis management. The greatest reward of all is when you assist in rehabilitating an orphaned or injured animal and it is released back into the wild to live out its life. That is your #1 goal - Rescue-Rehabilitate-Release! We provide hands on training to all volunteers.

Our baby birds and animals begin arriving at our center from April through September.

You are in store for a wonderful experience! We look forward to meeting you!
