Our approach

Every raccoon deserves a soft landing and a wild future

Raccoons are intelligent, social, and highly adaptable. We leverage those strengths while providing calm, species-appropriate environments that reduce stress and accelerate healing.

  • Trauma-informed care

    Behavioral specialists desensitize animals to gentle human handling, eliminating the need for sedation whenever possible.

  • Peer bonding

    Raccoons thrive in small groups. We encourage socialization to build confidence, teach foraging, and reduce loneliness.

  • Release readiness

    Structured enrichment prepares raccoons for life in the wild, from climbing challenges to simulated predator awareness.

Featured stories

Life after rescue

Each raccoon we meet has a unique story. These rescues remind us why we show up, no matter the weather.

“Juniper arrived dehydrated and disoriented after a wildfire. Within weeks, she relearned to forage alongside two other rescues and now roams freely in a protected oak grove.”

“Our neighborhood hotline connected us with Foggy Vally. They not only rescued the raccoon stuck in our attic but taught us how to raccoon-proof our home without harm.”
