    Crow or raven in gutter..Project Wildlife helped!
    Alex D.

    I called Project Wildlife on a Tuesday at 6:45 PM because I saw a crow or raven sitting in a gutter of my neighborhood for a few hours, not moving (but still alive). I called and the woman on the phone was so nice. She asked me a bunch of questions about the bird and my location, then she educated me that it was probably a fledgling, explaining that they are often awkward and don't know where to land, so the bird is probably fine and getting to know the world. Turns out she must've been right because once I got a certain distance of closeness to the bird, it finally flew away! I apologized because I felt like I bothered them for nothing, but she said she was glad I called, and said it was better to call than not! She thanked me, and that was really nice. I am so grateful she was kind and took the time to educate me about fledglings! Thank you Project Wildlife!

 A statement to live by.

    I had the pleasure and honor to have been taken on a tour of Project Wildlife Facility. They are a first rate facility located in Ramona with a deep love for animals. Both the tour guides I had were extremely nice and knowledgeable and people we can across were happy to be there. Racoons were my favorite (the masked monkeys). Even the animals seemed happy to be there. The campus has a Hospital and beautiful office. The enclosures were made comfortable for the animals during their rehabilitation stay. All of the animals they are tending to are of great importance to the staff. Thank you again for a wonderful tour Andy and Elissa!

    These guys are great. For some reason in the last six weeks I have come across two sick birds and i took them here. Both were in bad shape, the first was a crow i thought might be able yo be saved. But i asked about his outcome when i took the pigeon in. Turns out, he had a disease that was treatable but he was past the point of being able to be treated. I took a pigeon in and he was clearly going to die. They told me right away that the bird needed to be euthanized. I am an animal lover and it is hard to see animals suffer. Taking sick animals here to be euthanized is really the most humane way. They have tons of animals they save and bring back to health so i am not saying they only euthanize animals here. However, it was comforting for me to have these animals euthanized rather than see them continue to suffer. Keep providing this service guys.

    I know I'm a carnivore and eat a lot of animals, but I do love animals too. (I know, I'm a total hypocrite...kind of like Hillary and The Donald?) This non-profit runs an army of volunteers to rehabilitate injured wildlife throughout San Diego. So if you come across an injured animal, bring them here! If you ever run into injured animal and can safely get, take it here! There's even a drop off area after hours...you can bring also sorts of injured critters, such as: Rabbits and Bunnies ___________@@@ _________@ //////@@@__________________@@ _______@////////////////@_______________@ ////@@ ______@/////////// @///// @____________@///////////@@ _____@//////////////@///////@_________@/////////////////@ _____@//////////////@ @///////@______@//////@///////////@ ______@///////////@ _ @/////////@@@@//////////@/////////@ _______@/////////@ __@////////////////////////////@//////////@ ________@/////@ ___@///////O////////O//////////@//////////@ _________@//@ ___ @/////////////@///////////////@//////////@ __________@_____@//////////////////!////////////@@/////////@ _________________@/////////////////W/////////@ _@///////@ ___________________@//////////////////////@ ____ @//@ _____________________@///////////////@_________ @ ____________________@//////////////////@ ___________________@//////////////////////@ __________________@//////////////////////////@ _________________@///////@@//////@@//////@__@@@@ ________________@/////@///////@@//////@/////@@/////@ ________________@//////@//////@@//////@//////@///////@ _________________@///////WW/////WW////////@///// @ Deer... ________________________¶¶ _______________________¶__¶ _______________________¶___¶ _______________________¶____¶ _________¶¶¶¶¶_________¶____¶ _________¶__¶¶¶¶¶¶_____¶____¶ _________¶____¶¶__¶¶___¶____¶___¶¶ __________¶_____¶¶__¶¶_¶____¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ ___________¶______¶¶__¶_¶¶¶¶____¶¶¶ ¶¶¶_________¶¶______¶__¶¶__________¶¶ ¶__¶__________¶¶¶____¶¶________¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ ¶___¶__________¶¶¶¶_______________¶ ¶__¶_____________¶________¶_¶¶¶___¶ _¶_¶_____________¶_______¶_¶_¶¶___¶ _¶¶______________¶_________¶_¶¶___¶ _¶_¶_____________¶_________¶¶¶_____¶¶¶ _¶_¶_____________¶__¶__________¶¶____¶ _¶_¶______________¶___¶________¶_¶¶__¶ _¶__¶_____________¶____¶¶_______¶¶¶¶¶ __¶__¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶____¶¶______¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ ___¶_________¶¶¶¶¶¶________¶ __¶________________________¶ __¶________________________¶ __¶________________________¶ ___¶________¶_________¶¶___¶ ____¶_______¶___¶______¶__¶¶¶¶¶¶ __¶¶_______¶____¶______¶¶¶_____¶ _¶______¶¶¶¶¶¶¶_¶_____¶¶¶¶¶¶¶___¶ __¶___¶¶__¶__¶_¶¶¶___¶______¶__¶ ___¶__¶____¶__¶__¶__¶____¶¶¶__¶ ____¶__¶____¶__¶ ¶__¶___¶¶__¶¶ ____¶__¶_____¶¶¶¶¶__¶___¶¶¶¶ ____¶¶¶¶______¶¶¶¶__¶ ____¶¶¶¶__________¶__¶ ___________________¶¶¶¶ ___________________¶¶¶¶ Birds of all types _________________________________________¶¶¶¶¶¶ ____¶¶¶______________________________¶¶¶¶___¶¶ ___¶¶__¶¶¶___________________________¶¶¶____¶ ___¶_____¶¶¶¶______________________¶¶______¶¶ ___¶________¶¶¶¶_________________¶¶______¶¶ __¶¶___________¶¶¶¶_____________¶¶______¶¶ __¶¶______________¶¶¶¶¶¶_______¶_______¶¶ __¶¶___________________¶¶¶___¶¶________¶¶ ___¶_____________________¶¶__¶_____¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ ___¶¶____________________¶¶_¶_____¶¶___ö_¶¶¶ ____¶¶_____________________¶¶¶¶¶¶¶________¶¶¶¶ ______¶¶________________________________¶¶¶ _______¶¶¶______________________________¶¶ __________¶¶¶¶_________________________¶¶ ______________¶¶______________________¶¶ _______________¶¶¶¶¶¶________________¶¶ _¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶____________________¶¶ __¶______________________________¶¶¶¶ ___¶¶________________________¶¶¶¶¶ ____¶¶_______________¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ ______¶¶¶¶_____________¶¶ _________¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ Squirrels --------------------------$$$$$$ ------------------------$$.......$$$ ---------------------$$$..........$$$ -------------------$$$.............$$$ -----$*-$*-------$$................$$$ -----$.$..$------$$..................$$ -----+$.$$$----$$...................$$ ---+*......$$----$$..................$$ --$............$$---$$................$$ -$...O........$$$$................$$ $................$$$:...............$$ $$................$$$$............$$ --*$$$................$$..........$$ ------$................$$...........$$ -----$.....$$............$.........$$ ------$..$....$$..........;$......$$ ----$$$$$......$........;$......$$ --------$................;$.....$$ -------$$.....................$$ -------$$$..................$$ ----$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ And...many other wild animals too!

    We found a injured bird being attacked by crows outside of my office and wanted to help but did not know what to do. After entering a google search for "what do to when you find an injured bird", the Project Wildlife website came up and we are sooooo glad it did! First we got the very helpful hotline, and then we were able to get ahold of a volunteer. Keep in mind this was at 7:30pm. These volunteers are extremely helpful, knowledgeable and dedicated to helping the unfortunate wildlife that find themselves in dire straits. I'm so amazed that a place like this exists and very thankful for the hard work the volunteers do. THANK YOU! - Tamara Cross

    This is neither an animal shelter nor a pet store (why is this filed under those categories? I attempted to recategorize but the recategorization didn't stick. Yelp?) This is a non-profit organization that rehabilitates and provides medical services and care for native injured wildlife.

    We are truly blessed to have such an amazing Humane Society in San Diego…read more They provide so many essential services to our community: spay/neuter, a free community pet pantry, pet training, dog licensing, lost‑and‑found support, humane euthanasia, rehoming assistance, and so much more. Their impact is huge, and there are countless ways to help -- no contribution is too big or too small. One thing I deeply appreciate is their Adoption Guarantee: If for any reason an adopter decides their new pet isn't the right fit for their home, the Humane Society will schedule an appointment to welcome the pet back -- without judgment or criticism. This level of compassion and support is rare and shows how committed they are to both animals and adopters. Some meaningful ways to get involved include: Donating money Volunteering Participating in the Dog Day Out program Supporting the Community Cat Program Fostering Adopting instead of shopping Spaying/neutering your pets Sharing or reposting their information to spread awareness The San Diego campus is next‑level -- very clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Across the county, they have four campuses: San Diego, Escondido, El Cajon, and Oceanside (Escondido has a great setup for livestock and farm animals). Every staff member I've interacted with has been compassionate and patient. They deal with animals in distress every single day, so a little grace goes a long way.

We got to meet a lot of adorable dogs, and one little guy instantly stole our hearts. What really stood out was how thoughtful and thorough TAP's process is. There was no pressure to adopt on the spot, which we really appreciated. After the event, we completed an application and received clear next steps. The following week, our foster brought him to our home so we could spend more time together. That confirmed everything we felt at the event. TAP conducted a home visit and checked our references, and it was clear throughout the process that they truly care about the well being of their animals and making the right match. Our foster was amazing, so kind and supportive. When we brought our little guy home, she sent him with his toys, some food, and a sweet note, which meant so much to us. Such a wonderful experience overall, and now our home is filled with love, laughter, and lots of snuggles.

    I will sing their praises to anyone who listens! I adopted the very sweetest baby girl-formerly…read moreMadonna, now Bree- three weeks ago. It was love at first sight!!! Where do I start with the excellent care and customer service?! One of the many things I loved is that most of the dogs in their care are in foster homes. So there is so much time, training and attention to each pup that you simply can't get with a shelter. Breezy was mostly potty trained, had time around other dogs to learn how to behave, and so much was known about her behaviors and care. I just adored her amazing foster Mommy, Alex! She let us come to her home and spend an hour meeting both puppies (it was originally between her and her brother, Elvis, who is also a doll!!! Someone PLEASE scoop up that cutie!). I came with a list of questions and she answered every last one in detail and was so patient. I'm forever grateful for the wonderful love and care Alex put into my beautiful girl before I got her. From the application process to the actual adoption it was roughly a week and a half. I was surprised at how fast they were able to move and pleasantly so. I was contacted via email and text at all different parts of the adoption process by various volunteers- Joelle, Deborah, Jen, Alex and Breana are a few of the wonderful women I spoke to, but there was so many more involved. Each and every individual was knowledgeable on Breezy's care and her life before The Animal Pad. However short lived that was. Bree came spayed, had her first round of shots and was even microchipped! Which was a huge selling point for me. You know how expensive those all are out of pocket?!! It's worth every last penny of the $500+ I paid to know she was well cared for before I got her! She's the most loving and easy baby I've ever had! They even came and picked up the old things I had from my former soul baby, Adonis. It was heartbreaking to let the last reminders of him go. But I met some of the kindest humans in the process- Jen and her hubby. With an empathetic ear and even a hug I was left with a sense of comfort in that difficult moment. Knowing Adonis's things will go to good use is far more valuable than any monetary value I may have gotten for any of it. They were happily surprised at all that I was sending and came to me to scoop it all up! The Animal Pad is a rescue full of animal people who do this because it nourishes the soul! Not for profit! They do not discriminate if you live in an apartment, have had a bad experience where you have to return a former adoptee, are actively planning a family or any other reason that I'd been denied from two other rescues. I'd begun to lose hope in finding a new baby to love, until Animal Pad. Now I have the very best fit and I see clearly I simply wasn't meant to have any other puppers aside from Bree! We were meant for each other and she is deeply adored!! THANK YOU to everyone at The Animal Pad!!! You are one of the good ones and I'll continue to sing your praises to all that'll listen! I'm forever grateful to each and every one of you!

I pulled it up on my phone and showed them and they identified it as a location in Arizona. Stated they would let their vendor know and thanked me for bringing it to their attention. I would definitely stop back in if I need more food or other treats for my pups.
