Second Chance Wildlife Center provides care and treatment to sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife with the goal of returning them back into the wild. SCWC is housed in a historic farmhouse surrounded by ten acres of fields, woods, a marsh, and a stream. SCWC has the proper permits to care for most native Maryland wildlife including bats, chipmunks, foxes, frogs, groundhogs, herons, opossums, rabbits, raccoons, raptors, sea birds, skunks, songbirds, snakes, squirrels, toads, turtles, vultures, and waterfowl. Patient intake averages between 4500 and 5000 animals each year.

We are the only facility of our kind in the entire Washington, DC metro area. We intake animals from Montgomery, Frederick, Prince George's, and Howard Counties plus DC, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. We have four licensed wildlife rehabilitors on staff who have 40 years of experience between them. We educate the public about the importance of living in harmony with the local wildlife. We also serve as a wildlife referral and information resource to local residents, school, community, and business groups, and for other rehabilitators. As a non-profit organization we are constantly faced with limited funds and are powered largely by the devotion and dedication of our extensive volunteer network and the commitment of the community to protect their wild neighbors.
