We are blown away - we have received more than 406

We are blown away - we have received more than 4064 calls to our hotline since April 1, 2020! 🤯🤯

In just 200 short days, we have taken over 4000 calls from people across Saskatchewan and helped hundreds of wildlife.

We are so grateful for every single caller, volunteer, vet, rehabber and Conservation Officer that we work with. We could not achieve our goal of keeping Saskatchewan's wildlife wild without every individuals' help.

Furthermore, we need to thank every single one of our donors for helping us keep our organization running. As you can probably tell from the THOUSANDS of calls we receive, we have really become an essential service to Saskatchewan. We are a non-profit organization that does not receive any support from the provincial or local governments - and that's why we are so thankful for the public's support.

Thank you again to everyone who supports WRSOS and helps us keep Saskatchewan's wildlife wild! 😍❤️

While we most of us are trying to stay inside where its warm and cozy during these cold nights – our volunteers are hard at work! 🤯

On Thursday night, several of our volunteers were out in the cold and very dark night to try and capture a poor beaver that has quills stuck in its face. These rescues are incredibly difficult and arduous for our volunteers – not only is it cold and dark BUT water rescues are probably the most difficult type of rescue for us to accomplish! This one is a triple threat! 🥶

We are currently relying on volunteers who have access to canoes, kayaks or other specialized equipment for these types of unique rescues. We as an organization are planning to expand our ability to do these rescues by acquiring new equipment, so please stay tuned for more updates on that. As always, if you would like to donate to our organization, please visit wrsos.org/donate to find how you can help!

While they weren’t successful this time, more of our faithful volunteers plan to head back out to make another attempt at a rescue as we never want to give up on an animal in need!

Thank you for helping us keep Saskatchewan’s wildlife wild! ❤️ #wildlife #rescue #animals #nonprofit #saskatchewan

We are so touched by the amazing support we receive from people across Saskatchewan. When we receive messages like this, we know we are truly helping and making a positive impact on the lives of wildlife (and hopefully people too! ☺️). As a non-profit organization, we rely almost solely on the support of the public and we are just so thankful for every contribution we receive!

Thank for this wonderful message and your support, Meaghan! 🥰 #nonprofit #saskatchewan #wildlife #rescue

On September 26, we held our Annual General Meeting to share what happened in 2019-20 and all the new, exciting things happening in 2020-21.

Today is Prime Day! While you’re shopping on Amazon for some great deals, maybe you can help us out at the same time. 😍

Our rescuers currently purchase nearly all of their supplies with their own money. We are really hoping to be able to help (or ideally fully support!) our rescuers with all the tools they need such as crates, gloves, nets, and more! We also have many dedicated volunteers on our administrative, fundraising and marketing sides that could really use laptops and other gear to make their work easier.

Happy Thanksgiving!

As today is a day to give thanks, we would like to thank all of our incredible volunteers and supporters. ❤️

A special thank you to our donors. We have received so much amazing support this year and can’t thank you all enough. We are truly grateful as we know we are all experiencing unprecedented and troubling economic times. Even with all of the struggles, we have seen an increase in donations which has allowed us to keep our services running. 🥰

Saskatchewan is such a wonderful province, filled with very generous and kind people. We are so proud to be members of such a supportive community. 😍

Thank you again and please stay safe! #wildlife #rescue #animals #saskatchewan #nonprofit

It really takes a village! 🤯 Megan from Saltha

It really takes a village! 🤯

Megan from Salthaven West called our hotline after receiving a call from Saskatchewan Association of Conservation Officers's Jordan. Jordan informed Megan that he was going out to a Bald Eagle just south of Manor, that had been grounded since Saturday.

This beautiful eagle – named Eddie after the much beloved Eddie Van Halen – was assessed by Jordan with the advice of Megan and it was found that he was definitely in need of attention.

Eddie was then brought to our Vice President Rhiain’s home in Estevan by Jordan. It then took THREE people to get this beauty from out of the truck and into a cage. Our awesome VP and volunteer Ian (who took time off work to help!) then drove Eddie straight to Regina where he was helped by Megan and our volunteer coordinator Scott.

What an amazing team effort! We are keeping our fingers crossed that Eddie will make a full recovery and be returned to the wild. 🤞

We truly have such incredible volunteers and are so grateful to work closely with wonderful rehabbers and Conservation Officers across the province. 😍 #wildlife #rescue #animals #saskatchewan #nonprofit

Our work is never over! Even though our busiest time of the year is now past us, we are still receiving calls and helping animals in need. Fun fact – we have received over 3900 calls since April 1st! 🤯

One of our awesome volunteers Penny received a call from her son about a Great Horned Owl that he found in the middle of the road. Penny went out and caught this beauty then took it to Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation. It is a starving juvenile with a severely infected wing so it was then taken to the WCVM for surgery and wound care. Hopefully it will make a full recovery! 🤞❤️ #wildlife #rescue #saskatchewan #nonprofit #animals

This is called ANIMAL CRUELTY.

Though many people consider pigeons to be "pests" they do not deserve to be subjected to literal torture. This poor little guy had his entire face spray painted - luckily, our caller's 6 year old son Jack found the poor bird and they contacted us! Our amazing volunteers then stepped in and cleaned him up.

The pigeon also had a head injury that was hidden under all that paint. We are hoping for a full recovery - keeping our fingers crossed! 🤞

We are unfortunately still receiving many of these types of calls where all sorts of animals are being intentionally harmed by humans. Please be a good neighbour to our animal friends and contact us for advice if you need assistance.

A special thank you to Jack, Rhiain and her daughter Kura for helping this poor soul! ❤️

WRSOS wouldn’t exist without the amazing support

WRSOS wouldn’t exist without the amazing support of the public. We have an incredible supporter in Regina named Karen who has quietly been collecting hundreds of cans and donating the funds to us through the SARCAN Drop & Go program. Thank you so much, Karen! 🥰

There are many ways you can help our organization – every little bit counts! As a non-profit organization, public support is the only way we can keep our essential Wildlife 911 Hotline running.

Every year, thousands of birds in Saskatchewan per

Every year, thousands of birds in Saskatchewan perish from window strikes. Windows are essentially invisible to our little feathered friends! 😢

Just last week, we received a call from the Saskatoon Airport – over a dozen birds had hit a section of their windows, with most of them dying from the impact. Our hotline has also been receiving countless calls from people across the province who need help with windows strikes and injured birds. As birds start to migrate for the winter, we will likely see more and more of these types of calls.

The good news is that these tragedies are actually quite preventable. There are several deterrents you can use to keep birds from hitting windows such as decals, window paint, tape, or screens. If a bird does hit your window, please leave it alone for an hour or two - many of the birds are just stunned. You can also gently place it in a box so it can recover in a quiet place - please do not give it any food or water while its recovering! If the bird does not fly away after two hours, call our hotline immediately.

So if you have a particular window or set of windows that birds tend to hit, please help by using a deterrent. Don’t forget, if you ever need advice our hotline is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily to assist – 306-242-7177! 😍 #animals #rescue #nonprofit #wildlife #saskatchewan

The Story of Théo and Roman – Part 7 – Off to the rehabber!

Theo and Roman are now starting the next step in their journey at the rehabber’s house. The ultimate goal is to have these two return to the wild and the best place to do that is with our rehabbers. We are so thankful to have such incredible volunteers and rehabbers that can make this all happen!

Please don’t forget: these animals are NOT pets. These little guys were orphaned and would have died without our assistance. Only licensed, professional rehabbers should take in orphaned or injured wildlife. As cute as they may be, please NEVER take in a wild animal as a pet. Call our hotline for immediate assistance if you ever encounter injured or orphaned wildlife! #wildlife #animals #rescue #nonprofit #saskatchewan

The Story of Théo and Roman – Part 6 – Roman eats on his own!

Last time we introduced sweet little Roman – another orphaned raccoon baby that was found in the same area where Theo was. Things are going well for these two brothers. Roman has now started to eat on his own after a few days of being hand fed! We are so proud of their progress and thankful to Peggy and Susan for their amazing love and care.

Please don’t forget: these animals are NOT pets. These little guys were orphaned and would have died without our assistance. Only licensed, professional rehabbers should take in orphaned or injured wildlife. As cute as they may be, please NEVER take in a wild animal as a pet.

Our volunteers are truly amazing! 🤩 We just had our busiest summer EVER and we couldn’t have done it without each and every volunteer. To all of the rescuers, transporters, rehabbers, hotline educators and volunteers who helped us this summer – THANK YOU! 🥰

Fun fact: since April 1st, 2020, 658 of our rescues were done by just 10 of our volunteers. The dedication and hard work is truly incredible and inspiring! 😲

We are always looking for new recruits and we officially announced our online volunteer orientation earlier this week - please check out that post here if you are interested in joining us.

WRSOS is a volunteer-run non-profit organization and we run the Wildlife 911 Hotline – a completely FREE service that anyone in Saskatchewan can use. We truly could not keep this essential service running without our volunteers!

Thank you again to all our volunteers for helping keep Saskatchewan’s wildlife wild! 😍 #volunteer #rescue #animals #nonprofit #saskatchewan

The Story of Théo - Part 5 – Brothers!

Guess what?! Theo has a brother!

Meet Roman, another orphaned baby raccoon from the same area where Theo was found!

Raccoons are social little creatures and do so much better when they are not alone. Roman is currently being weaned and we hope Theo follows along soon! We are just so happy Theo now has a brother to hang out with.

Please don’t forget: these animals are NOT pets. This little guy was orphaned and would have died without our assistance. Only licensed, professional rehabbers should take in orphaned or injured wildlife. As cute as they may be, please NEVER take in a wild animal as a pet.

The Story of Théo - Part 4 – Yucky pills Since

The Story of Théo - Part 4 – Yucky pills

Since his vet visit, Theo is taking medication for his tummy. Peggy thought he had swallowed the blue pill, but as he was playing with his feet, she saw that he had been hiding it in his mouth!

Peggy was able to break it apart and get it in, bit by bit, but as he gets bigger it’s going to be challenging!

Please don’t forget: these animals are NOT pets. This little guy was orphaned and would have died without our assistance. Only licensed, professional rehabbers should take in orphaned or injured wildlife. As cute as they may be, please NEVER take in a wild animal as a pet.
