While the great majority of humane societies focus on domestic animal care, the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is among just a handful, worldwide, that extends its caring services to sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.  Our patients come from San Francisco through northern Santa Clara County and include hawks, ducks, geese, songbirds, seabirds and mammals. In addition, we give local residents humane solutions to their urban wildlife conflicts and treat animals impacted by environmental disasters, such as oils spills. Our goal for incoming animals is simple: make them well as soon as we can with minimal human contact so as not to imprint, then release them. Last year, we released more than 1,400 animals.  This vital work is made possible by generous donations.
