Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre

The Cobequid Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to providing veterinary care and rehabilitation to injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife. Operating on donations, fundraising, and the support of dedicated volunteers, the Centre employs three individuals, including one full-time staff member and six volunteer veterinarians. Cobequid Wildlife's compassionate team provides comprehensive care to injured animals with the ultimate goal of releasing them back into their natural habitats. In addition to hands-on rehabilitation, the Centre actively engages in public education about wildlife issues. They offer presentations on a range of topics, including human-wildlife interaction, urban wildlife, the dangers of lead fishing tackle and ammunition, and the environmental impact of free-roaming domestic pets. The Centre emphasizes responsible wildlife rehabilitation practices and prioritizes animal welfare. As such, they do not travel with animals in their care during presentations. To ensure the highest quality of care, Cobequid Wildlife provides comprehensive training to all volunteers involved in on-site animal care, adhering to strict protocols and safety standards. For those interested in supporting the Centre's mission, they welcome inquiries about volunteer opportunities and encourage individuals to learn more about their work through their website at cwrc.net.
