Animals in San Rafael Find New Rescue Center in Temporary Location with Wildcare's Return

In the tranquil town of San Rafael, California, a series of unfortunate events have taken place. A burglar, on the run, attacked a local man and his pregnant wife[1]. The incident is currently under investigation.

Meanwhile, in a more positive turn of events, San Rafael continues to be home to WildCare, a renowned nonprofit wildlife hospital and education center[1]. The organization is currently in the process of building a new, permanent facility at its original site on Albert Park Lane, central San Rafael[2].

Until the construction is complete, WildCare's Wildlife Hospital has temporarily moved to a new location near Gallinas Little League Field in San Rafael[3]. The temporary facility, named "WildCare Transition," will serve as the hospital's home for the next two years[4].

WildCare Transition is easily accessible. It is located off Schmidt Lane, east of North San Pedro Road[5]. Detailed directions to the facility can be found on the organization's website at discoverwildcare.org/transition.

In addition to the hospital, WildCare's Wildlife Education Exhibits will also open to the public at the temporary site starting November 5[6]. Visiting hours for the exhibits will be posted on WildCare's website. Admission to the exhibits is free[7].

As the new facility takes shape, WildCare is running a $24 million Elevate WildCare Capital Campaign to fund its construction[8]. The new facility will accept injured and orphaned wildlife for care.

While out and about in San Rafael, it's essential to stay safe, especially when encountering wildlife. Information on how to stay safe around bears can be found[9]. It's always crucial to respect local wildlife and their habitats.

For those planning their travel to San Rafael, detailed information on rush hour in Marin County can be found[10]. Proper preparation can make any journey smoother.

In these changing times, it's essential to stay informed. For the latest updates on WildCare's temporary location and exhibit schedule, I recommend checking WildCare’s official website or contacting them directly. The exact opening date for the Wildlife Education Exhibits at the new temporary location has not been announced yet[11].

In San Rafael, WildCare Transition, the temporary facility for WildCare's wildlife hospital and education center, is now open and easily accessible off Schmidt Lane, nearby Gallinas Little League Field. As part of its sustainable living initiative, WildCare is fundraising for a new, permanent facility through the Elevate WildCare Capital Campaign.
