Located in the mountains outside McCall, Idaho, Snowdon is a sanctuary dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife. Snowdon was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1989. Since then it has continuously housed and cared for a wide range of large and small mammals and birds. Animals received by Snowdon are in distress due to injury, loss of parents, or loss of habitat.

Unfortunately this may actually create a problem where one did not exist. Read more on our Wildlife Rescue Information page
