City Wildlife Rescue - Season 1

A duck lays eggs on a rooftop patio, and a fox cub struggles with a mystery illness. Meanwhile, how do you get close enough to a snapping turtle to treat it? Join the Toronto Wildlife Center team as they balance the needs of injured and orphaned animals in preparation for an eventual return to the wild.

A family of baby rabbits needs help after a dog attacks the nest. A snapping turtle with a cracked shell begins laying eggs. And the team at the Toronto Wildlife Centre tries to find a new family for an orphaned swan.

A young Cooper's hawk falls into a pool, then escapes into the bush. Toronto Wildlife Centre's rescue team wants to bring him in to assess his injuries, but they have to find him first. And no one likes needles. When it's time for the centre's skunks to get vaccinated, the team gets up close and personal with some strong skunk defences.

A young coyote suffers from mange, a snake shows up with what appears to be a dislocated jaw, and an abandoned baby mink requires special care. Welcome to the Toronto Wildlife Center, where there's no predicting the next animal care challenge that will show up on their welcoming doorstep.

At the Toronto Wildlife Center, expecting the unexpected is essential. Cases range from an injured porcupine with a deep wound to an urban raccoon with her head stuck in a peanut butter jar. Join the team as they rely on experience and quick thinking to provide the best possible care for their charges.

Each year, thousands of birds crash into clear glass around the city. In fact, the record for most birds brought into the Toronto Wildlife Center in one day is 180! Join the team as they assess the needs of these ailing aviators and then work fast to patch them up so they don't get left behind by the flocks.

A baby raccoon is separated from his family and the rehabilitation team want to get him fixed up and back to the wild before his family moves on. And an orphaned Killdeer it introduced... to himself.

The rescue team responds to a call about an opossum stuck in a fence, but what they find isn't the type of animal that plays dead. And a goose with a badly injured foot gets some physiotherapy before it returns to its family in the wild.

The medical team tries desperately to save an opossums badly injured toe. But once in surgery it looks like an amputation is the only viable solution. And Toronto wildlife centre's own turtles hatchlings seems ready for release, when the rehab team gets some disturbing information about the size of other wild baby turtles.

A sick coyote in an Ontario suburb is causing residents a lot of anxiety. Meanwhile, a group of baby cedar waxwings urgently need special care around the clock--a job that's straining the resources of the volunteer team. Can the Toronto Wildlife Center step up to the challenge?

Two young red-tailed hawks are brought into the Toronto Wildlife Center with the same problems: an inability to fly and a nasty parasitic infection. Later, a rare white squirrel is diagnosed with what appears to be a spinal injury. Can the rescue team help put these reluctant patients back on the road to health?

The centre is given an eviction notice and Nathalie Karvonen, it's founder needs to find a new home for this very big and complicated facility. And a turkey vulture with an unidentified injury is being cared for by the medical team. But the clock is ticking for him to be released, before it gets too cold and he'd have to spend the winter indoors.
