Public education is an important part of our work at WRSOS! Unfortunately, our in-person events, like Gone Wild for Wildlife, are postponed until we can all safely meet again. But, we are always trying to share information and educate people about Saskatchewan's wildlife.

We have many great resources on our website at wrsos.org and we try to post timely and helpful information on all our social media platforms.

Our goal this #GivingTuesday is to raise funds so that we can build and equip a formal wildlife rescue program. We really want to ensure our volunteers have all the necessary training and equipment they need to rescue wildlife across the Province.

We often have to borrow equipment so we can help an animal in need. Check out this picture of our volunteers Hari and Dawn - luckily, they were able to borrow a friend's boat so they could rescue an injured pelican!

One of our awesome volunteers, Penny, shared her favourite rescue story and picture! 🥰

“This was bat rescue I did in PA in September 2019. It turned out to be a Little Brown Bat, which is a species on the Endangered Animal List. It was successfully released , so this was a happy-ending rescue for me.”

WRSOS is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization and we would not be able to help wildlife without wonderful volunteers like Penny!

Check out this amazing picture that was taken by one of our summer students, Clara! Ellen the beaver was successfully released back in to the wild after being rehabbed this summer.

We are so lucky to have received a couple of grants to hire summer students. Without them, we wouldn't have been able to keep the hotline running all summer long.

WRSOS hopes to one day be able to hire staff so we can help even more wildlife in Saskatchewan!

We have been having a pretty incredible year at WRSOS! Our hotline was the busiest its ever been and it really has become an essential service across Saskatchewan.

One of the most amazing stories from this year was the one featuring Justin and YipYip, the rafting coyote pup. We are so happy we were able to help and that YipYip was successfully released before winter hit!

Why do we need help on #GivingTuesday? Because there are so many animals in need across Saskatchewan!

This poor pigeon was helped by our Vice President Rhiain and her family down in Estevan earlier this year. It has been sprayed with paint right in its face! 😡

No animal deserves to be harmed so cruelly by people, even if many consider them to be a "pest" or a "nuisance."

Saving Miss Daisy 🐶🌼

We honestly have the most dedicated, caring and wonderful volunteers! One of our extraordinary volunteers, Patti, was working the hotline when she received a call from Don Redbear at @dakotadunesresort about a starving, injured dog outside of Saskatoon city limits. The poor puppy had been a stray since summer and somehow survived that terrible storm earlier this month, but we knew she couldn't make it all winter!

Due to the distance, local dog rescue organizations and animal control were unable to assist. Even though we typically only help wildlife, we can never say no to an animal in need. However, our organization also does not have live traps to capture animals of that size so we were a bit stuck!

However, a wonderful lady named Cori Lynn loaned us her x-large live trap and Patti made the ride out to the Dakota Dunes Resort area to set it up. Then Don and his coworkers (who had been watching over Daisy and feeding her what they could) monitored the trap overnight. When Daisy finally wandered into the trap, Don and his coworkers carried it inside so Daisy could warm up until we could pick her up.

@cormanparkvet quickly agreed to take her in and treat her. She has some significant injury to her one paw but we are hoping for the very best❣️

We will post more pictures and a video update in the near future so keep an eye out!

In the future, we are going to focus our fundraising efforts so that we can buy speciality equipment for all sorts of rescues - like the trap we had to borrow to rescue Daisy! All animals deserve to be treated with respect and helped when they are in need. ❤️

Thank you to all the amazing people who made this rescue possible! 🥰

Coyote Week - Day 8 - Last Post

Thank you for celebrating Coyote Week with us! 😍

These animals are very misunderstood and are often mistreated by humans. Please remember that all wildlife are just looking to survive and with that, they need food, water and shelter. Sometimes that food may be your domestic animals or livestock - but it is YOUR responsibility to take precautions and protect your animals and pets from wildlife looking for food!

Coyotes have also adjusted well to urban living and being near humans. However, they are typically shy and will avoid humans and rarely pose a threat to us.

Here are some tips: do not feed wildlife, secure your garbage, keep your pets inside, and do not leave any food outside. Following some of these basic guidelines will help minimize wildlife bothering you, your family or your animals.

If a coyote does approach you do not attempt to touch it, give it space, and back away calmly. If it becomes aggressive, maintain eye contact, shout and wave your arms. You may also want to carry a flashlight or whistle if you are out at night and approached by a coyote - the light and loud noise will likely scare it away.

Thank you to @coyotewatchcanada for their wonderfully informative resources❣️

Coyote Week - Day 7 #DYK coyotes are afraid of do

Coyote Week - Day 7

#DYK coyotes are afraid of donkeys? Some farmers use donkeys to keep coyotes off their property. The donkeys loud brays can scare away predators and alert their humans! These defenders will often even confront coyotes and chase them off the farm. If the coyote doesn’t run off fast enough, the donkey may even attack them by kicking them with their front feet!

In general, it is the HUMAN’S responsibility to protect their livestock.

Coyotes getting your chickens? Secure your pens.

Coyotes killing your cats? Keep them inside.

We as humans have the ability and responsibility to protect our defenceless animals. At the same time, we must act in ways that do not harm nature - coyotes are part of our environment and play an important role in our ecosystem, as do all other animals.

These predators are native to our lands and are not inherently “bad” just because they eat other animals. We need to learn to live peacefully with wildlife and avoid conflict with animals.

Please help us keep Saskatchewan’s wildlife wild! ❤️
