WILDLIFE
The Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is a rare bird in our field! We’re among just a handful of humane societies and SPCAs, worldwide, that extends its caring services to sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Our patients come from San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties and include hawks, ducks, geese, songbirds, seabirds and mammals. In addition, we give local residents humane solutions to their urban wildlife conflicts and treat animals impacted by environmental disasters, such as oils spills. While rehabilitating animals, we keep human contact to a minimum so as not to imprint, then release them. Recently Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA and Wildlife Center Silicon Valley joined forces to help even more animals in need.
