Great staff

Ron Subden

I can't say enough great things about this place. The hard work and dedication of all the staff and volunteers has made Hope For Wildlife an example of how amazing things can be achieved when people work together towards a common goal.

Katarzyna

Amazing !!!

Patsy Rose

Friendly

Stacey Fry

Hope sometime to get to visit Hope For Wildlife

S Norman

Had so much fun at the Open House

Charles Tupper

A must-see if you have the means to drive out there while visiting Halifax. The drive is amazing and the visit to Hope for Wildlife is informative with a very friendly and knowledgable staff. I saw a story about them on Animal Planet in the US and decided to visit when I came to Nova Scotia. They do wonders with all sorts of critters. Definitely worth the visit. Donations are welcome, no actual cost to visit. But when you see it, you'll feel generous. :-)

Karin Nordlander

The tour was amazing.

Denis & Sylvie Duperron

Everything. The staffs giving the tour are knowledgeable and give a lot of informations. Will definitely return when they have an open house.

Denita MacPhee

Went to the open house and there was a lot of people.

Matthias Yeah

Amazing place with all these helpful people. We've been there on the annual open house day (every last Friday in August) and had luckily the chance to come close to many of their wild animals. No admission fee, but I think everyone will donate for their passionate work what one can afford. Perfect trip with kids!

Michelle Ducharme

Love informative show. Zoos might have ideas for protacal for introducing new animals that may cause outbreaks of disease to established animals. Also, a data system to give healthy but not able to release to wild. Being part of helping the diversity of the breeding gene pool could be an option instead of ending life. This preservation of the animal world is a global effort, dreaming a need for a global communication data system.

Laura Bonner

Help save the Bears!

David Sebelius (Davsvidfan02)

Great facility with knowledgeable folks helping animals and nature.

Caroline

Anyone/any organization that strives to rescue/save wildlife, are true meanings of humans. Keep up your great efforts.

CHRIS CHIASSON

Wonderful group of people doing fantastic work

Extremely knowledgeable and professional facility. Animals and cages are pristine clean and well cared for. Very impressed with the graduating sized enclosures that prepare all animals in their care for release. Grateful such a great place for our wild orphans exists in west michigan.

Such a beautiful spot with a beautiful spirit. The work done by Hope and her staff is amazing.

Jenna M

Took my brother to hope for wildlife. Must say its exactly as the show entails. We got to meet hope who is just as genuinely sweet in person. She taught us about the male turkey who roams around. What an amazing organization! 5 stars all around. Worth the visit!

Jeff Lever

A very unique place with a big heart. I suggest visiting when they offer tours, or for their annual open house.

Johanne Cedilot

(Translated) I was lucky enough to meet Hope an extraordinary, friendly and natural woman, congratulations for all the animals you saved. It is certain that she can not save everything, she saves much more than she euthanizes. (Original) J'ai eu la chance de rencontrer Hope une femme extraordinaire , sympathique et naturel bravo pour out les animaux que vous avez sauvé .C.est certain qu'elle ne peut tout les sauver elle en sauve beaucoup plus qu'elle en euthanasie .

Absolutely amazing place. It's incredible what Hope for Wildlife does to rehabilitate wildlife in need ❤️

Marilyn Dunn

Saw the Hope for wildlife show awesome

Melinda Flemming

I watch the show all the time and I can see how you can get attached to an animal while watching all that you do to help these beautiful animals it is totally amazing. Can't wait to visit someday.

Barb Adams

Amazing place.

Annette Baillargeon

Hope, I love watching your program. I can't seem to watch enough, so much so, that I'll watch reruns over and over sometimes. I have recently decided to volunteer at a local rescue center. I have always loved animals and love helping any kind of animal. I often wonder if I could do what you do, on a much smaller scale though. I would really love to do that. My daughter volunteers often at an animal rescue center. She has actually fostered some of the rescued animals. She loves it. And I love that she loves it. I look forward to seeing new episodes. At least I'm hoping you continue to make new/more episodes. You have such a large heart. I wish you all the best and be safe.

Elise Jacques

(Translated) If you are a wildlife lover, you will enjoy this place. I've been watching her show on television for a few years now and I was very excited to be able to visit the Hope for Wildlife facility at her annual open house that Hope organizes to raise funds. We had the chance to meet Hope and the veterinarian who accompanies him in his mission. You could also see a good variety of refugee animals at home, even a raven that says "hello". Nice visit, superb location. (Original) Si vous êtes un amant de la faune, vous apprécierez cet endroit. Je regarde son émission à la télévision depuis quelques années maintenant et j'étais très heureuse de pouvoir visiter les installations de Hope for Wildlife lors de sa porte ouverte annuelle que Hope organise pour ramasser des fonds. On avait la chance de rencontrer Hope et le vétérinaire qui l'accompagne dans sa mission. On pouvait aussi voir une bonne variété d'animaux réfugiés chez-elle, même un corbeau qui dit "allo". Belle visite, superbe emplacement.

Valerie Beck

Such a worth while cause

Justin Whitby

What a great place to visit, my only concern was the lady in the visitors center Meridith, she was very down and gloomy. We were glad to move on and see the rest of the exhibits. The man tending the owl was much happier and lively !

David Millard

Awesome! Take the kids!

J

How do you find something bad to say about a place that takes care of injured and displaced animals

Brook Townsend

We had a great tour, our 2 year old loved it. The staff are really kind and knowledgeable. They have a real passion for helping animals!

Found a Dovekie in our yard. Called up Hope for Wildlife and our minds (and hearts!) were calmed. Got all the information needed to help us get this little cutie back to where he needed to be.

Jared

Woke up to a severely injured racoon huddled up to my front door for comfort this morning which was a very unusual situation to me. Asked around and was pointed in the direction of these wonderful people. They came quick and were very professional. I would highly recommend these people to anyone else who comes across an injured animal.

Ace Handler

I Love This Show! Turns the entire concept of realityTV on its head - nothing but Love Love Love from start to finish! Hope - you are an amazing inspiration - pillows in Heaven a'plenty my Lady ;-)

Linda LeGallais

I have been following Hope for Wildlife for many years and was thrilled to visit in 2017 while visiting NS. Wonderful place with very dedicated staff. As the wife of DVM and RVT myself I am so impressed with the care they give the animals. It’s not easy working with wild animals and these folks are experts!

Andrew Boyles

Lovely facility & atmosphere

Katie Enman

Lovely facility with friendly and knowledgable staff. We did not do an official tour which was fine because we were allowed to walk around and explore on our own. It took around 45 minutes in total to view the inside and outside exhibits. They had a mini canteen there as well.

Karen Coleman

The staff they have here are awsome. If you ever see a wildlife animal that is hurt in anyway i very recommend grabbing a carrer and calling hopeforwildlife. My other half and I took 3 baby raccoons here recently mother got hit by car or abandoned them.

Never been to hope for wildlife but my daughter is an aspiring veterinarian and my son lives in Nova Scotia!! Always watch the show on TV!!!!!! Love what a great thing she does and keep doing what she's doin!!

Lori Gill

The best show on TV. The best place to visit too.

Grace Olson

I truly enjoyed my visit at Hope for Wildlife. The engaging volunteer led tours are a good way to meet the animals and hear about their stories. It's a great place to bring kids and allow them to engage with animals in captivity while avoiding the moral discomfort that comes from visiting healthy caged animals at a zoo or aquarium. All the animals at Hope for Wildlife are either preparing to be reinstated into their natural habitat or have been deemed non releasable, and are at Hope for Wildlife because they wouldn't be able to survive or thrive on their own in the wild. The animals we saw included a corn snake, a small python (my son was allowed to hold both snakes), a groundhog, a chinchilla (we were able to hold the chinchilla as well), a rabbit, a sugar glider, a parrot, a talking crow, red squirrels, Chipmunks, a fox, and some chickens. The site has public restrooms (flushing toilets inside portapotties) and a gift shop where you can make donations or purchase items to support Hope for Wildlife.

Save the animals. Support hope for wildlife. They create magic in their care so wildlife can fly and run back to their homes in nature.

Mary-Angela Menzies

A fun education experience

Ava Bright [Student]

Today I found an abandoned bird egg. I tried calling my local shelters and rescuers even the local vet but no one answered. The only vet that did answered said they were too busy to help me. I watch Hope for Wildlife all the time so I tired and Hope actually answered. I was so happy as she is the reason I wanted to save the egg. Hope was super nice and kind. I know she's probably very busy saving the baby animals that are coming to her in the spring, but she still took her time to explain things to me including the circle of life. She also shared that friday there are new episodes. Thank-you Hope! ¬Ava, (Your biggest 10yrs old fan)

Jolene Mulaire

Beautiful wildlife rehabilitation centre. The centre is obviously well cared for by staff and volunteers. Tours are given on an hourly basis by knowledgeable volunteers, though you can explore most of the grounds by yourself. Pens have a small informational card about the species and the specific animal in care. There are a variety of native and rescued non-native species at various stages of care and rehabilitation. Some are permanent educational ambassadors, others to be released when they are healed.

Sea Lion Unknown

Disregard any review below 5 stars. They were obviously mistaken.

Natalie Greenlaw

It was amazing!

Surina Anstey

Beautiful farm with a beautiful view. Lots for kids to learn about wildlife. They even have some live animals the kids can touch and learn about!

Andrew Barcham

Great place to visit. Not busy at all, lots of volunteers to explain everything. Give yourself 2 hours to tour and enjoy.

Randy Rehberg

Great place for abandoned wildlife

mario chretien

Cheers, I have never actually been there but I've been watching your show on tv for a while now. I find it amazing that so many animals have been set free after your care, keep up the good work

Will Parsons

Just watched a episode on the "COTTAGE LIFE" Channel. Watching those two owls fly back into their natural habitat at the "cemetery grounds" was very touching. What a wonderful organization. To be able to give the time it takes to look after and rehabilitate injured or sick wildlife really takes a very special person/people. Excellent work you and your staff does.

Trish Thomson

Great afternoon spent here. Lots of different wildlife to look at. Friendly staff.

Laura Mac

I have yet to visit Hope & her team. I am looking forward to volunteer for Hope within the next year !!!❤ I have watched the show on Animal Planet/CBS and feel great about what I have seen so far from Hope & her team. They are Remarkable in Every Way ! The care & love they give to the animals they have and the dedication to rehabilitation of Each Patient is Amazing !!! Thank you Hope for all you do !!! Laura????

Light Bringer

This is beautiful in my world

shimmer shine

This is an amazing place. What they do for injured animals is amazing. The staff were knowledgeable and gave free tours of the facility telling the history of each animal. Definitely a place worth visiting

Sandra Conrad

Awesome knowledgable staff. Great learning experience.

Brian Wilson

Loved the visit!!

Stephie Young (TheCraftyCat)

I just watched an episode and what their doing is great but it seems like they don’t know much about the animals their taking care of and how to properly take care of them.

angrysoldier100

Nice people.

Tanya Hatfield

The directions & map were clear and precise. A fabulous place doing an amazing job for wildlife. We are so lucky to have such a facility in our province.

Ehab Madokh

Nice place, staff are awesome, great idea of helping natural,big Hart to taking the initiative to deal with animal need shelter. However the place is too small for visitors to understand the hard they do.

Marsha Graham

Dropped of a young gull that had issues with his right leg and trouble flying.

stephanie roma

So amazing what they do and what u can see

Sydnee Macdonald

Love the show so informative. One day I’d love to visit or even volunteer.

Ivan Idzan

My partner is a big fan of the Hope for Wildlife TV show... so a side trip to Nova Scotia meant visiting the site of this animal rescue. A gift shop and welcome centre offers a quick introduction. Tours are offered on the hour, but an off-schedule self-tour is good too. Most of the animals in the tour area are wildlife that cannot be released due to injury or imprinting on humans. Tilly the crow at the reception likes men and will lower her head for a bit of a scratch. A scaffolding tower provides a great viewpoint (but is a bit scary when the wind is blowing). Make a donation and/or buy some souvenirs to help make a difference.

Cheryl Cunningham

Watch your show all the love it. So nice to see some one to help these poor creatures. I feed the birds as often as I can. I thank you from the bottom of my heart

Martin Look

AMAZING

Sydney Dillinger

I love bringing my son to the open houses and learning about all the different animal's they have there :-)

Brad Bozsaki

Tilley was very cute. Loved it and can't wait until we return.

Shauna Munford

Nice to see people caring about the wildlife and wanting to help the animals. I like that we can pet some of the animals too. Even though it's great to donate to this good cause its nice a fee isn't expected.

Jean Purdy

l watch your beautiful programme every day and admire Hope and volunteers for all the wonderful work that they put into Hope for Wildlife. I look foreward to seeing Dr Barry doing his bit. What a superb place to live but it looks pretty cold in the winter! Good luck with your next open day. Stoke Poges. Bucks, uk

mom Tremblay62

I have visited here twice now. Such a wonderful place. Very knowledgeable and compassionate staff and volunteers. Our wildlife are needlessly being injured, and Hope for Wildlife is a necessary operation to help maintain the nature as humans destroy it. Without nature where would we be?

Angelica Roth

An incredible place for the animals!

Cristine Mcgowan

Awesome place for family and friends.

Fern MacLeod

They care for orphaned and injured wildlife I wanted to support their work so I purchased 2 jackets as gifts. The facility would be a wonderful place to take young ones. Of course older ones will enjoy as well. It is a pleasant drive from Shubie Campground in Dartmouth NS.

Camille Arseneault

Called them back in February(ish) for an injured pigeon inside a building. They were quick, nice, and great to work with.

Diane Delorme

I watch your television series and love what you're doing for wildlife and education. (To answer the question posted about dropping off Christmas trees, I called and they said they have all they need for now. January 15th 2017.)

Jessica Roberts

They are just so amazing there! You can really tell they care. I've rescued a few birds and contacted them every time. Hope answered and is always so sweet and kind.

Olga Komissarova

I found an injured bird by our professional building.The volunteer from Hope for Wildlife arrived within the hour and took a bird to treatment. We are lucky to have this organization in Nova Scotia. Please, donate generously , volunteer or buy items from their Gift Shop.

Maureen Burridge

Thoroughly enjoyed your program on your visit to Costa Rica. What a great experience for both you and Dr. Barry. It's nice to know that there are people in other parts of this world looking out for animals too. Keep up your good work. Sincerely, Maureen Burridge

Sheila Coutts

Wildlife Rehab. Tours of facility available. Interaction with animals in education centre. Beautiful venue. Nice gift shop. Educational and fun. T.V. show in 8th season.

Jessica Malakoff

Hello all you Hope lovers. I am from Kelowna BC and we watch your show all the time and have for years! I want to let you know that because of watching the show we ,my friend and I ,we're able to save a mama duck and her clutch of 10 babies. They were stuck down a stairwell and the babies couldn' get out. Using techniques we learned from the show we were quickly able to get them out of the stairwell and on their merry little way! It was so awesome and I can see how your job can be so extremely satisfying and we just helped one family of ducks!. We used a hoody to cover and wrap mama so she didn't interfere and didn't get hurt,then scooped up all the cute lil fluffy babies,put them around the corner and off they waddled! Thanks to your show everything worked out brilliantly! Thank you and keep up the good work! Sincerely, Jessica and Margaret

Carla Praught

The staff was amazingly knowledgeable and super friendly. All of the animals are very very well looked after. They take in injured and abandoned animals, rehabilitate them and (providing they are well enough and able) they are released back into the wild. They have a hospital and rehabilitation centre on site where they take care of the all of the sick and injured animals. There is someone available on site 24/7 for emergencies, animal care and any drop offs. Check out their website for more organization and donation information

Debbie McNeil Rutz

Amazing place for rescued wild animals.

Juan Villegas

Today was my first time watching them on Animal Planet. I've never been more excited and inspired for all they do for these animals. I will be making a donation❤

Jeff Batt

Hope for Wildlife was an awesome experience. The facility consists of an information building, a small animal shelter immediately to its rear where you may meet some of the resident animals they have, and a circular pathway where you can view several other animals. There are other buildings on site such as an aviary and the animal hospital that are off limits. What made our trip so good was the staff, they were second to none with their explanations and patience with my little girl. I highly reccomend for an activity with your family. If the weather permits, I would start here and make my way over to Lawerencetown Beach for the rest of the afternoon in the sun!

Tim Materi

My grandson and his class had a wonderful trip, the staff and volunteers are so hands on and caring. The work that's done there for wildlife is amazing. If your looking for a great place to explore wildlife up close this is the place. Bring some vegs to share with the animals.

Martin Russell

Just go there and you'll see. You will come away with a different point of view, and and diffent feel to be alive!!

Wanetta Pierunek

Special woman, with special staff from what I c on tv. A total inspiration.

Patrick Macdonald

It's unbelievable what Hope has done for Nature. Many critters have been given a second chance at life because of her and her crew. My only regret is that my busy work schedule keeps me from being able to volunteer down there with them myself. However every time I visit, I feel like I could stay there forever and I just cant get enough of the show. I hope it stays on Television forever

John Benoit

Amazing work that they're doing to rehabilitate injured animals. Very approachable, friendly and knowledgeable staff and volunteers. Tours are free (donations are welcome) and I personally enjoyed my time there. My wife and kids also loved it.

Sarah T

It's simply unclear why the government can't won't help this wonderful site... so sad.

It's a great place to take the family on the weekend, entry by donation and your money goes to a wonderful cause. Takes about an hour to walk around. And has a cute gift shop. It's not for profit so all proceeds go back to caring for the animals!

Heather Elliott

Love this place and all that Hope and her staff do for the environment and the animals.

Donna Sperry

This past summer I, with my brother & wife (from Calgary) visited your location. I had not heard of "Hope for Wildlife". Each year when my brother and his wife come to Nova Scotia for some holiday time, they always have a list of places they want to visit. "Hope for Wildlife" was at the top of their list this year, due to the TV show they watch weekly out of Calgary. Seeing first hand the care and compassion given to all the animals, made me fall in love with all that Hope and her volunteers do to give every animal a second chance at life. ONE person can and is making a difference. :)

Patsy Ward

My daughter and I love watching Hope for Wildlife. While kayaking on the Credit River in Missuauga, we rescued a seagull tangle up in a double fish hook.
