The organization works closely with North Bay Canine Rescue, A Second Chance and Petaluma Pet Pals to find permanent homes for the dogs. For the birds Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue was formed in 1981 by individuals concerned for the welfare of sick, injured or orphaned animals. The nonprofit nurses these animals back to health for release back into the wild. Volunteers are being sought to help with orphaned baby birds. People are needed to temporarily care for the birds in their homes because the agency lost its home last summer and has yet to move into a new one.
Training is provided.
