EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY-June 4th, 2026- PLEASE READ
For the past 19 years, We have been running PWRC as a volunteer based charity. Over the last 15 years, we have admitted and rehabilitated more than 2,000 animals annually.
As you know, every year brings new challenges and changes related to volunteers, funding, donations, politics, staffing, and the increasing costs of wildlife rehabilitation, including food, medical care, and facility maintenance. After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to begin winding down the organization.
This summer will be our final operating season. Effective Thursday, June 4th, we will no longer be admitting new wildlife patients. If you come across an injured and orphaned wildlife, please contact :
Wildlife Haven 204-202-3806
Manitoba Conservation 1-800-782-0076, or
Bridgewater Veterinary Hospital 204-452-0911 (drop off for Wildlife Haven)
Our focus will be on completing the rehabilitation of the animals currently in our care at the St. Adolphe site. We will continue to rely on community support to care for the wildlife patients still in our careโespecially the four fox kits, who require a specialized diet to grow and thrive. Their expected release will be in August/September.
Every donation helps ensure these young animals receive the proper nutrition and care they need for a successful return to the wild. Thank you for being part of their journey.
This has been an incredibly difficult decision, but we are proud of the work we have done and the effort we have made to help injured and orphaned wildlife over the years.
We would like to extend a huge and heartfelt thank you to Pembina Veterinary Hospital and Winnipeg Emergency Veterinary Clinic for nearly 20 years of dedicated support as a trusted wildlife drop-off location for PWRC.
Because of your compassion and commitment, thousands of animals have received a second chance at life through our doors. Your long-standing partnership has made an incredible impact on wildlife in our community, and we are truly grateful.
We are forever thankful for your generosity, care, and unwavering support.
Thank you for your support throughout this journey.
Sincerely
PWRC Board of Directors and Volunteers
