Wildlife Center

Thanks to the generosity of donors, including leadership gifts from Pilar and Chuck Bahde, Rita Myers, the Hill Charitable Foundation and the J.W. Sefton Foundation, San Diego Humane Society opened the new state-of-the-art Pilar & Chuck Bahde Wildlife Center in March 2019.

Since 1972, Project Wildlife has rehabilitated more than 10,000 sick, injured and orphaned wild animals a year, in an 1,100-square-foot trailer. With the growing needs of wildlife rehabilitation in San Diego, the current facility is no longer sufficient and the new Bahde Wildlife Center opened just in time for the 2019 baby season.
