With a sparkling new refrigerator here at RWS, we’re ready to take on baby season! Learn about the complex, fascinating process behind hand-feeding the hundreds of baby mammals we receive.

To kick off baby season, we wanted to share one meaningful reunion success story from earlier this week. Meet our “Patients” of the month: an adorable litter of five Red Fox kits, who didn’t need to become patients after all. 🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊

As people around the world celebrated the Lunar New Year last week, one of our education ambassadors said goodbye to the Year of the Snake in the most appropriate way: by shedding his skin.

Finding the perfect Valentine’s Day gift can be tricky. We’ve got you covered at RWS! 💘 Show someone you love them with a wild gift they won’t forget. Plus, you’ll be supporting Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary’s lifesaving animal care program in your loved one’s honor!

Ahhh, the classic snow day: slow mornings, cozy movies, hot cocoa, and…trudging through the woods carrying a basket of squirrel meals!? 🤔

We’re still caring for over 50 patients this winter, including our very last admission of 2025. Meet Patient 25-871, a charming Silver-Haired Bat! 🦇

Between caring for nearly 900 animals, answering over 3,000 hotline calls, presenting 45 education programs, and completing some transformative renovations, we’ve been busy at Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary. Read about some of our most memorable patients from 2025!

When winter settles in, most of us humans do too. We enjoy lots of soup, cozier evenings, and perhaps a bit more couch time than usual. Our wild neighbors adapt accordingly. For many of the critters that don’t migrate south for the season, winter means totally powering down.

If you’ve ever visited Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary, you know our driveway is…something else. 😅 Today, we’re kicking off our Giving Tuesday campaign to rebuild the road to recovery. We’d love for you to be part of it.
