These pups were brought to Wildlife Images by a woman who rescued them from an unsafe environment somewhere in Nevada City, CA. Since wolf-hybrids do not make good pets, the "rescuer" contacted us knowing that we would be able to properly care and provide for them.
Welcome to Our Clinic!
Welcome to the Wildlife Images Animal Care Clinic! Our clinic is the base for all of our animal care operations. In addition to the nearly 1000 injured and orphaned wild animals we receive every year, we also care for close to 100 resident animals.
At Wildlife Images, the term ‘Clinic’ can mean many things. We have a few different ‘regions’ to this central area. Our Recovery Center is on the far side of the building, where we try to keep things pretty quiet. This is where animals are housed that are still incapable of being placed in an outside enclosure, but well enough that they don’t need to be in intensive care. In the middle is our Food Preparation area. This is where all of the produce we receive daily as donations from local grocery stores gets sorted, all of our animals’ diets are prepared, the dishes are washed, the laundry done and serves as the central work area for our Animal Care volunteers. In a small little nook on one end of the Clinic building is our volunteers’ break room and offices for Animal Care staff.
Our Animal Care Technician, Meadow, monitors anesthesia for our resident Eurasian Lynx, Nikki, while Certified Veterinary Technician, Caryn, performs a dental cleaning. All of our resident animals receive routine health maintenance. It’s not as easy as going to the vet’s office for our resident animals!
At the main entrance to the Clinic building is our Treatment Room. This is the first stop for all injured and orphaned wildlife patients we receive. In our Treatment Room, Animal Care staff perform physical exams, collect laboratory samples and perform laboratory tests, take radiographs, administer medications, and perform any other necessary medical procedures for our rehabilitating animals, as well as our resident animals. The Treatment Room also serves as our intensive care area. This is where we keep all animals that need frequent medications, frequent feedings in the case of orphans, or are critical cases. Please see our Rehabilitation page to learn more about the rehabilitation process.
