Rescue response
Trained responders cover the whole valley. Median time from hotline call to pickup is 15 hours this year, down from 24 in 2024.
Every raccoon in the valley deserves a way back to the wild.
We are the Pacific Northwest's only raccoon-specific rescue. Our clinic, field team, and 380 volunteers pick up the injured and the orphaned, treat them, and return them to the forests and creeks they came from.
A busy year so far. Between January and mid-September 2026 we admitted 131 raccoons, including a record 94 kits during baby season. 71 of those kits are already back in the wild.

What to do while you waitWhat we do
Four programs, one goal: healthy raccoons living wild in a valley that knows how to share space with them.
Veterinary care
Our new clinic wing opened in July 2026 with digital imaging, a surgical suite, and an isolation ward for animals that need quiet.
Habitat protection
With the Valley Conservancy we protect and restore release sites. As of September 2026 that is 103 acres of riparian and oak corridor.
Community education
School visits, coexistence workshops, and free toolkits. More than 18,000 neighbors have taken part since 2015.
Our impact since 2015
Every figure comes from our case log, which an independent reviewer checks each year.

The Cedar Four
Four orphans from three different calls, raised as one cohort so they would learn from each other. Released together in November.
Read their storyThe Winter Den Fund
October to December is dispersal season. Young raccoons leave their mothers, cross roads at night, and look for somewhere warm to den. It is when our hotline is busiest and our enclosures are fullest.
This fund keeps two dispatchers on through the season, stocks the new clinic for winter, and pays for 60 insulated den boxes that volunteers will install across our habitat corridors in November.
