Behind the Scenes at PWC
Pacific Wildlife Care (PWC) has been an advocate for wildlife in San Luis Obispo County since 1984.
From that time we have grown from a small group of dedicated home rehabilitators into a successful non-profit organization with a well-equipped rehabilitation center, a full-time wildlife veterinarian, a small paid staff, and nearly 200 volunteers. In addition to the Rehabilitation Center, which is open every day of the year, we maintain a Wildlife Hotline that the public can call to report distressed wildlife (injured, sick, orphaned) and to receive information about our local wildlife.

Happy Thursday! This little opossum is growing up in our care after being orphaned. She will stay with us until she has learned the skills necessary to survive in the wild. It may be fall, but it’s not uncommon to continue to see baby wildlife in our area because of our mild temperatures. If you see an opossum in the wild, please be kind. They may hiss and growl when scared but they mean you no harm. Let them go about their day as they have an important job to do eating all the slugs, ticks, and mice from your yard!

Please don’t release balloons or fire lanterns! Even those items marketed as “biodegradable” take years to break down and by that time they have already trashed the environment and can become entangled and ingested by wildlife. Instead, here are some great alternative ways to celebrate any special occasion 🙂.
