This place put down the squirrel I brought them because of an “overbite”. Not a day goes by I don’t regret bringing this precious little guy I wanted to save and give a full life too. They suppressed this info from me for months as well. Use with great caution. Its just a factory.

Their website gives completely inaccurate and wrong information to animal rescuers. They claim they give you a patient number so you can track the progress of the animal, this is a lie and they do not do this. Very disorganized and dysfunctional. Brought in an emaciated animal I had rescued and kept warm overnight, the animal hadn't eaten or drank in at least a day so it was in desperate need of nutrition. It was a scorching hot day, so fortunately, the animal quickly warmed up after I kept it warm through the cold night with some warm water bottles. Instead of feeding the animal, they stuck him in an incubator, supposedly to "warm him up" even though he was already warmed up, and didn't even bother feeding him. Sure enough, he was dead the next day and if I were to venture a guess, he probably died from malnutrition. Don't bring animals here. Go to the store to buy formula to feed and rehab them yourself. These folks clearly do not know what they are doing and do not appear to care about the welfare of these animals Seeing some of the other reviews here, it seems evident they have a track record and extensive history of doing stuff like this. Apparently they put down a lot of animals for trivial reasons. It really is just a factory and money making scheme for whoever runs the place. I wish I had read these reviews before bringing in that poor animal. He'd probably still be alive today

I brought a baby bird -dove here last spring. Which I got after chasing a cat, who carried it in his moth then dropped it. I couldn't locate the parents, bird seems to be (visually) ok, but I called Wildlife Center and I was on my way just in few minuts after brief talk with the team member. Due to Covid, I couldnt entry the facility, but was greeted after ringing the bell. The personelle is very passionate, helpful and friendly. I got an update in a few days - my baby is doing well :). Then in 4 weeks I got a card- my dove survived, was nurtured to be healthy bird and was released in the nearby park!!!

Polite and friendly stuff but they just put down birds. Wondering how many animals are saved or most of them are just put down. Don’t bring any animal there if you want it to live . It’s a factory!! No matter what they say, they need to disclose euthanasia rate, this place needs more public surveillance. What matters most is their ‘Permit’. Once you give any animal To them, it’s theirs, no way to give it back to you and they ‘have to’ put down the animal because of the permit. The bird is eating and drinking happily in my yard but they had to put down the bird because of ‘PERMIT’.

I'm a rescuer. I often take in abandoned baby ducklings at a park near my house cuz the fountain there is a duckling death trap, but the city refuses to put in any rocks or a ramp cuz "it'll tarnish the fountain's artistic appeal". 🙄 The wildlife center staff have always been very professional, very kind, and helpful in these situations. They've probably taken in dozens of abandoned baby ducklings I have had to save. MASSIVE DISCLAIMER: They only take native wildlife. If it's an invasive species, they will not accept it.

Honestly, I don't know if I did the right thing bringing in a slightly injured crow that hours before was hobbling around, but happily drinking water and munching on seeds. The foot look damaged and the wing might have been affected as well. Brought it in to the Wildlife Center and the one staff member that I spoke with was kind and friendly. He brought the caged crow in while I waited to get my cage back. 3 minutes later, he came out and said the vet informed him that the crow had Avian Pox that was highly contagious. I asked if it was curable and could the crow be rehabilitated. He said no and that its condition would continue to worsen and it was in pain. (that bird had been at my next door neighbor's home eating and drinking happily before it came over to our house.) Part of me regrets bringing it in if it might have had a slightly better chance of recuperating and still have more days to live. After speaking to others who also brought in injured wildlife, it seems like most of the common birds and tiny critters don't make it, while special care is given to birds of prey and other heartier animals. Wondering what percentage of wildlife are actually saved and which are put to sleep/death when admitted.

Do not bring animals here if you want them to live! 2 times now I have brought a wildlife animal to them and they informed me when I called to check on them that they are gone. The first time I thought, oh ok I guess they needed too. But this time I refuse to believe they did what they could to help the animal. I brought an opossum here after I found my dogs rough housing with him in the backyard. When I picked him up, I at first didn’t notice his stomach was hurt until a day later when I picked him up again and seen he had a wound on his stomach. I brought him there hoping they would fix his stomach and he would be able to live a good life still. While he was at my house he was using the bathroom normal, eating and drinking water, and running around jumping everywhere. I refuse to believe he couldn’t have been saved. My heart is so hurt because my partner and I bonded with this little guy as soon as we found him. Tried to nurse him back to health and made sure he was warm and safe. I’m so sad that I didn’t get to spend more time with him before saying goodbye. I wish I could’ve taken him somewhere else that would have at least given him a chance, he was just a baby!

Reached out over phone to enquire about a bird's nest that was built in a high foot traffic area around our home. The staff was well informed, warm, and very helpful. Glad to have this resource in our community! (Side note: I perused the negative reviews and hope none of them discourage folks from bringing injured wildlife here. Nature is not kind and not every animal can be saved. I'm confident this organization exercises good judgment in deploying resources and maximizing good.)

So thankful this place exists. We brought an injured bird today, Emmanuel was knowledgeable and helpful. He diligently got the bird examined by their vet for any cat bites and put him on antibiotics as cat saliva is harmful. The lil bird had limited chances of survival but thanks to the wildlife center, he will be able to grow and fly!

So far just off the initial phone call I made to them and Emanuel is so kind and comforting to speak with. Helped relieve me of any guilt feelings I had and applauded my common sense. Will update again after I make my visit.

Very friendly and helpful. We found a humming bird in the pool and rescued it, so we decided to call them and take it in. We called back and gave us an update. Bird later was released. Pleaae donate it helps them.

If you found a hurt animal, or a baby animal, bringing it to this center is the best thing you can do for the animal. The staff are very nice, friendly, and helpful. I found a baby squirrel whose mom was dead, and didn't know what to do with him. I didn't want him to get used to people and have a natural life. I brought him to this center and hoped for the best. They kept him for almost 3 weeks until he was ready to be back in the wild. I received a post card the center had sent me to know when the squirrel was out.

They assisted me with baby Morning Dove, who was taken by strong wind from the nest. They were very helpful and responsive. We made a donation of blankets and sheets for them.

A couple of weeks ago, I found a fledging crow on my apartment stairs. The vet was extremely kind and professional. I learned a lot about crows during this brief visit. I would totally encourage anyone who is able to support this wildlife center to do so. They were so patient with us , and gave us some tips on what we should do when we find crows during this season. Thank you !

A gem here in San Jose. Thank goodness for this team and their efforts in aiding our wildlife. They get hundreds of animals a month. Pls consider donating to help them continue to care for our injured and orphaned wildlife. They truly are miracle workers.

This cavity nesting bird had fallen out of its roost by the Great America Amtrak station. We called the WCSV staff who helped with intake, and we learned that they’re actively tracking colonies of endangered bird species (including this one). Other humane centers recommended WCSV for wildlife intake.

Found a little bird in the middle of the road today, not moving nor flying away when I approached. Took it to this Wildlife Center. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Glad I'm leaving the little guy in good hands. He is an Eurasian Collard Dove. Very handsome.

A hurt pigeon was in our courtyard. The wildlife center helped it out and even gave us a case number so we could call to check on the little guy. They healed it and released it. These people are angels :) I donate when I can

They give the best chance for critters to be returned to their natural environment. I'm grateful for their caring work.

Just searched this and was so excited that I found this organization for future reference! Their site says they take walk-in intakes everyday from 9-3. Unfortunately, I was hoping to save a bird that hit a glass building; but, it was already dead.
