Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre Incorporated
Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre Incorporated is a Canadian nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation organization operating as a registered charity (Business No. 814020210RR0001)[3]. Established in 1994, its mission focuses on rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured, orphaned, or displaced wildlife while promoting coexistence between communities and native species[3][4].

Mission and Operations
The organization’s mandate includes three core objectives:

1. Wildlife rehabilitation: Providing medical care, nutritional support, and habitat-specific recovery for mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians prior to their release into the wild[3][4].
2. Conflict resolution: Advising property owners on humane solutions for human-wildlife interactions[3].
3. Public education: Offering outreach programs to teach sustainable practices for living harmoniously with wildlife[3][4].

Rehabilitation Process
Each admitted animal undergoes a physical examination to determine injuries, health status, and treatment plans[4]. Care durations range from days to months, depending on species and injury complexity. Orphaned wildlife receive extended support to develop survival skills before release[4]. The centre reported rehabilitating over 4,000 animals annually, with most successfully reintroduced to their natural habitats[4].

Governance
Founder and President Sue Meech holds provincial and federal wildlife rehabilitation licenses[4]. The organization operates under Canadian Revenue Agency guidelines as a registered charity, relying primarily on public donations to fund its operations[3][4].
