Every spring, we receive orphaned Canada Goslings at the Wildlife Care Center. We care for them while scouting for appropriate adoptive families. Canada Goose parents are quite caring and communal, and will adopt babies that are the same size as theirs if they join the “line up.” This allows us to always send healthy goslings back out to be raised in the wild, giving them their best chance at survival, with the unparalleled care and knowledge an adult goose can provide.

We received six baby Barn Owls from a Good Samaritan who found them in some bales of hay that were transported from an unknown location in Madras, Oregon. Every year, we get young Barn Owls this way! Since we were unable to put them back with their family, we will raise them here at our Wildlife Care Center.

Our Wildlife Care Center’s received a female Northwestern Garter Snake who was found injured outside of an apartment complex. While the rescuer wanted to keep her as a pet, we were thankful they came to us first, because we were able to identify her as a native species, and help her return to the wild where she can thrive.
