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.

5 North Coast Grantees Receive $5K from Anniversary Fund To mark our 25th anniversary, this year we’ve proudly granted $5,000 to ten local organizations spanning the county, all passionately dedicat...Freedom Friday! This elegant, graceful Great Blue Heron did not look so elegant or graceful when brought to us from the State Park in Morro Bay in early August. The bird could not stand and had many small puncture wounds on his scalp. He was treated for head trauma with pain medication and antibiotics and placed in a safe and quiet enclosure.
For over two weeks the bird remained very unsteady on his feet and refused to eat while his head wounds healed. Eventually, he began to stand and eat and regain strength and coordination until he was able to go into our large flight and begin flying. After five weeks in care, he had regained his elegance and grace and was released to his home territory in Morro Bay.

Freedom Friday! It's hard to believe that in early August, this adult California Gull could not walk or stand due to some unknown trauma. Thankfully a concerned citizen contacted our Pacific Wildlife Care hotline and one of our volunteer rescuers transported the gull to our clinic in Morro Bay. After 23 days of treatment by our skilled team, the gull fully recovered and was released, trotting out of its carrier and taking flight to once again soar above the coast near Shell Beach.
