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.

Jeanette Hada3 StarHonestly, I don't know if I did the right thing bringing in a slightly injured crow that hours before was hobbling around, but happily drinking water and munching on seeds. The foot look damaged and the wing might have been affected as well. Brought it in to the Wildlife Center and the one staff member that I spoke with was kind and friendly. He brought the caged crow in while I waited to get my cage back. 3 minutes later, he came out and said the vet informed him that the crow had Avian Pox that was highly contagious. I asked if it was curable and could the crow be rehabilitated. He said no and that its condition would continue to worsen and it was in pain. (that bird had been at my next door neighbor's home eating and drinking happily before it came over to our house.)
Part of me regrets bringing it in if it might have had a slightly better chance of recuperating and still have more days to live. After speaking to others who also brought in injured wildlife, it seems like most of the common birds and tiny critters don't make it, while special care is given to birds of prey and other heartier animals.
Wondering what percentage of wildlife are actually saved and which are put to sleep/death when admitted.Saturday 2nd April 2022
