About Wolf Hollow

Mission: to promote the well-being of wildlife and their habitats through rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife, public education and non-invasive research.

Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center was founded in 1983, and is a non-profit organization licensed by Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to carry out wildlife rehabilitation.

The rehab. center is located on 40 acres in the middle of San Juan Island in northwest Washington. It is in a rural setting, approximately 4 miles from the small town of Friday Harbor. San Juan is linked to other islands in the archipelago and to the mainland by ferry and air services. A small staff is responsible for day-to-day running of the center.

Wolf Hollow currently cares for ~300 animals each year. Most of these animals come from the San Juan Islands and adjacent parts of mainland Washington State.

Note – despite our name, Wolf Hollow does not rehabilitate wolves or other large carnivores.

Wolf Hollow is a registered 501(c)(3), non-profit organization. We rely on support from individuals, businesses and foundations to carry out our work.

Non-invasive research is an important part of our mission at Wolf Hollow. Over the years we have carried out a number of projects to gather information to help us improve our standards of animal care and increase post- release survival rates in animals we rehabilitate. Read more >
