PHS is not a wildlife rescue or rehabilitation centre, and we are not able to assist with these animals. Please visit Ontario Wildlife Rescue to find a licensed organization that can help.
We want to hear from you
Our Social Services Coordinator is leading a needs assessment to help us better understand our community’s needs. Your voice matters in shaping what’s next!
