You can make a difference by donating today to Wildlife Rescue Society of Saskatchewan Inc.

The WRSOS believes that wildlife and humans can live together successfully. We stand in solidarity among the provincial wildlife guardians in Saskatchewan and are dedicated to minimising wildlife suffering due to human interaction.

We proudly operate as one of Saskatchewan's most trusted resources when our wildlife needs the best opportunity to survive and return to the wild. With this goal always in mind, we promote understanding and respect for all Saskatchewan wildlife, as well as the education needed to build a sustainable environment for wildlife and humans.

We provide assistance to wildlife in need, and the people who encounter them, through our wildlife helpline, trained and experienced helpline educators and field personnel 365 days a year.

​

The WRSOS has over one hundred volunteers and paid summer student employees. We work with veterinary clinics that volunteer their services free or at a reduced rate, and provincially licensed wildlife rehabilitators province-wide.

We provide public education regarding the need for intervention, how to manage a range of wildlife situations, and how to prevent or resolve human-wildlife conflict issues. We not only improve wildlife protection but also raise wildlife conservation awareness in Saskatchewan through our helpline, website, and events.

Our most valuable service is the Wildlife Helpline, which operates 365 days per year. Our volunteers and summer student employees have been trained to advise callers on how to handle a range of situations and to help prevent or solve human-wildlife conflict issues. Through the helpline, we not only improve wildlife protection but also raise wildlife conservation awareness in Saskatchewan. All funds raised will go to the daily running of the free provincial wildlife helpline.

​

Demand for WRSOS services are growing rapidly as a result of an increase in urbanization and encroachment onto wildlife habitat, greater awareness of our organization, referrals to our services by local, provincial and federal governments, and an increase in societal compassion for animals. In the 16 years since WRSOS was founded, we have experienced a dramatic increase in calls – from 177 in 2006 to over 5,000 in 2022/23 – highlighting the need for an organization like the WRSOS in Saskatchewan.
