Wild ARC is a Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre operated by the BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and is located in Metchosin, about 40 minutes outside of Victoria.

Our mission is to provide humane care to injured, orphaned, sick and distressed wildlife based on established rehabilitation standards and the animal's natural history. 

 Wild ARC is the only wildlife rehabilitation centre on southern Vancouver Island and treats between 2,000 and 3,000 wild animals annually from over 140 different species.

 Wild ARC also aims to educate the public about wildlife, animal welfare, and coexisting with nature, as over 80% of the wild animals treated at Wild ARC are impacted by human activity. We are a non-profit wildlife rehabilitation centre, and we do not receive core government funding.

We really appreciate your interest and support in caring for our local wild animals in distress!

Please fill in an application to join our volunteer team and you too can help save the lives of wild animals!
