Injured/Orphaned Wildlife
Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA’s (PHS/SPCA) south bay wildlife rehabilitation center provides care for sick and injured wildlife in Santa Clara County. SVACA partners with PHS/SPCA and transports injured or sick animals directly to them.
If you are holding wildlife that is injured or in need of help please take the animal directly to the PHS/SPCA during their business hours if it is safe for you to do so. If it is not safe for you to transport the animal yourself, please call our office and one of our staff will arrange to collect the animal from you.
PHS/SPCA’s south bay center is located at 3027 Penitencia Creek Road in San Jose, CA 95132.
Nuisance Wildlife
Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA has information about problems with rodents, raccoons, skunks, opossums. They also provide referrals and information about other organizations and programs that can help with nuisance wildlife.
Coyotes in our town? Yes, coyotes have made our area their home. Santa Clara County Vector Control manages wildlife matters and has produced this flyer which describes ways to coexist with coyotes. The Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley also has information on how to coexist.
Please report coyote sightings to the Santa Clara County Vector Control District. SVACA will only respond to reports of sick, injured, dead, or aggressive Coyotes. We do not require notification of healthy coyote sightings.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife serves as the state's lead agency charged with helping to resolve human-wildlife conflict, public safety, and depredation.
