Back to the Wild: Rescued Otter's Release Is Coming Soon!
Exciting news from Solano Wildlife! The rescued river otter recently featured on KRON 4 is healthy, thriving, and expected to return to the wild within the next 48 hours. Veterinarian Dr. Chen and the Solano Wildlife team are carefully evaluating local waterways to find the safest and most suitable release location. Although rehabilitated wildlife is normally returned to the area where it was found this otter was rescued from a heavily populated location, making the selection of its new home especially important. Stay tuned as we prepare to celebrate the moment this remarkable otter gets a second chance at life in the wild.

The Need Is Here — And It Hasn't Slowed Down
Solano Wildlife Rescue & Education Center is caring for orphaned and injured wildlife every day.
Raccoons, opossums, squirrels, and other native wildlife continue to come through our doors needing specialized formula and food, medical care, safe enclosures, and weeks or months of rehabilitation before they can return to the wild.
Our new facility has given us the much-needed space to care for more animals, but getting it fully completed and equipped continues to be a tremendous undertaking. We are still working to complete our wildlife hospital and rehabilitation areas while meeting the daily needs of the animals already in our care.
Every new arrival means more food, formula, medications, supplies, veterinary care, and resources — and the need doesn't stop when baby season begins.
This is what your donations make possible.
Every gift helps us continue saying “yes” when an animal needs us — and helps provide that animal with the care, time, and rehabilitation necessary for the ultimate goal: a second chance back in the wild.
Please consider donating to Solano Wildlife Rescue & Education Center. Every dollar helps, and every donation allows us to continue this work.
Thank you for helping us be here when California wildlife needs us most.
