Patient Profiles
Every day new patients arrive at our facility. We see over 3,000 patients annually. Over 135 different species come to us for care. In an effort to tell their stories of survival and highlight the diverse number of species that we rehabilitate, we try to share some of their stories here. You can also see posts on our social media pages.

Striped Skunks
We are currently caring for seven orphaned striped skunks, all originally found in Whatcom County. They were transferred to us by our colleagues at Whatcom Humane Wildlife for continued care.
It’s not unusual for us to collaborate with other wildlife rehabilitation centers to help manage capacity or to create new sibling groups for young orphans. These partnerships are essential to ensuring the best outcomes for the animals.
Skunks are our featured profile species in this issue of the newsletter. We typically don’t see many each year—likely due to their nocturnal habits and preference for more secluded wooded habitats.
