City Wildlife was created to address the increasing conflict between wild animals and people in Washington, DC. Over the past several decades, local wildlife habitat has been severely depleted, and wild animals have had to adapt to living in close proximity with people. Each year hundreds of wild animals in DC are unintentionally harmed by people and the urban environment. Our mission is the protection of wildlife, and wildlife habitats, in the metro Washington DC region. Our goals are: To manage a rescue center to assist sick, orphaned, and injured wild animals and return the to the wild; To promote the enjoyment of native wildlife and harmonious co-existence with wild animals; and To protect the District of Columbia’s wild places for animal habitats.

THE MISSION OF THE FOUNDATION IS TO IMPROVE AND EXTEND PET CARE TO PEOPLE AND ANIMALS IN NEED, TO STRENGTHEN THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND, AND TO BRING TOGETHER PEOPLE WHOSE LOVE OF ANIMALS PROMPTS THEM TO FIND WAYS TO HLEP PETS AND PEOPLE IN DIFFICULT TIMES.

The Valley Animal Center is dedicated to controlling the pet population through education and spaying/neutering, not euthanasia. We believe animals, as living creatures, deserve to be protected, respected, and given every consideration morally and ethically. Our mission is to assist with and provide for the health and welfare of the animals that have been abused, mistreated, abandoned, and injured; to promote the bond between animals and people; and to instill an appreciation and respect for all living creatures with whom we share this earth.
