WHO ARE WE?

Established in 2006, the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan (WRSOS) is a volunteer-driven, registered non-profit organization that works in partnership with organizations and businesses throughout Saskatchewan who share common principals and values of maintaining healthy biodiversity.

The WRSOS provides education and information as well as partners with similar organizations to coordinate training opportunities.

Need help? Call our hotline at: 306.242.7177

Please call our hotline and leave a detailed message and a volunteer will get back to you as soon as possible. Our hotline is monitored by volunteers from 9:00am-9:00pm daily. We aim to return all calls within an hour, sooner for emergencies. During Spring and Summer we often receive a large call volume, so calls are prioritized and it may be slightly longer of a wait.

Until then you can visit our “Wildlife 911” section for some helpful information.

Our Mission Statement

WRSOS is a registered non-profit organization that is dedicated to fostering rehabilitation and return to the wild through a network of collaborative relationships and to promoting the understanding and respect for wildlife issues.

WRSOS' primary goals are:

• To prevent the unnecessary removal from the wild of wildlife
• To provide rescue and transportation to qualified care of those that do need help
• To ensure the return to the wild of rescued and rehabilitated wildlife
• To prevent accidental injury or illness to callers or wildlife
• To provide information and education to the public about wildlife, wildlife issues, and wildlife rehabilitation in Saskatchewan.

WRSOS has 70 volunteers and one paid summer employee on the emergency hotline. There are 20 vet clinics province wide that volunteer their services free or at a reduced rate and 20 provincially licensed wildlife rehabilitators from Moose Mountain to Meadow Lake.

Saskatchewan’s provincially licenced rehabilitators can take a wide range of animals. From hawks, falcons, waterfowl and songbirds to bats, skunks, foxes, black bears and everything in between.

As an organization, WRSOS supports the view that human society and wildlife can successfully coexist. WRSOS aims to promote respect and understanding for wildlife and nature through education at events such Gone Wild for Wildlife.
