Our mission is to rehabilitate injured, sick or orphaned wildlife and return them to the wild.

Every year thousands of Ottawa residents need help dealing with wildlife problems: raccoons or squirrels nesting in the attic, skunks living under the porch, coyotes roaming the outskirts of our city. Every year hundreds of Ottawa residents also seek help for injured, sick or orphaned wildlife.
As the only non-profit authorized wildlife rehabilitation centre in the Ottawa area, we treat and care for small wild mammals until they are healthy enough to be returned to their natural habitat. Since the spring of 2005, the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary has been rescuing small wild mammals and helping Ottawa area residents to coexist peacefully with our wildlife neighbours. We are a not-for-profit corporation based in North Gower, Ontario. As a registered charity (# 82731 7744 RR0001), the Rideau Valley Wildlife Sanctuary relies entirely on donations.
