Snowdon is a wildlife sanctuary dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of injured and orphaned wildlife. Snowdon was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1989, and has continuously housed and cared for a wide range of large and small mammals and birds since then. Animals received by Snowdon are in distress due to injury, loss of parents, or loss of habitat. We are totally dependent on gifts from our friends to meet the day-to-day expenses of feeding and housing the wildlife. ( To give now, just click the DONATE NOW button.)

| Bordered by National Forest and State lands, Snowdon is located in the mountains outside of McCall, Idaho. The Sanctuary is ideally situated to minimize human contact – an important precaution to ensure the successful release of wild animals back to the mountains and valleys where they naturally exist. |

Snowdon realizes its goal of aiding wildlife not only by providing temporary housing, care, and rehabilitation, but also by providing educational programs to the public, to schools throughout the southern part of Idaho, and for special programs such as the University of Idaho's McCall Outdoor Science School (MOSS). Such programs have been facilitated by grants from the Idaho Humanities Council, Sheldon Foundation, and Idaho Community Foundation, and through donations from citizens who believe in our wildlife and what Snowdon is doing to help them. |
| The day-to-day care of the wildlife depends not only on our Executive Director, but also on help from college students and recent graduates who participate in Snowdon's Intern Program. Members of the Board of Directors and other trained volunteers also may provide hands-on assistance. |

Snowdon does not generally allow visitors to the facility because of the nature of rehabilitation, but we do invite you to visit during our annual open house in the Fall. We also publish a newsletter, and if you are interested in receiving them, please call or email us. |
|
None of the staff or Board members are paid salaries.....we operate as a volunteer organization. However, the wildlife need feeding and shelter, and this does require significant financial support, for we are totally dependent on our individual supporters. If you would like to be included as one of our wildlife's valued supporters, Please contact us. |
