Hope for Wildlife

Hope For Wildlife is a documentary series about the hard work, struggles and victories at a wildlife rehabilitation centre on Canada’s East Coast. When man and nature collide, there are casualties. Hope Swinimer believes every living creature deserves a second chance. With the help of more than 100 volunteers, interns and staff, Hope helps thousands of animals each year: everything from a mouse to a moose! The series has aired in more than 100 countries and is currently in its 9thseason. That’s more than 100 hours of Hope!

Season Nine (in production now)

You can’t steal Hope! Just as Spring thaws Canada’s East Coast, a burglar busts down Hope’s door. An unexpected flood of fawns breaks every record at the rehab. And the team struggles to keep pace with more mouths to feed than ever!

Season Eight (Now Airing!)

Thousands of injured and orphaned animals are bursting through Hope’s door at a record pace. But, the unseasonably warm winter has made everything unpredictable. While Hope for Wildlife’s life-saving operations continue around the clock – Hope herself pushes on to complete major renovations to her 16 year-old facility. But, construction on the iconic Red Barn has fallen behind schedule. And, a new crop of volunteers will join Hope, Dr. Haley and the rest of the full time staff – a top-notch team that must rise to the challenge again – caring for each and every injured and orphaned animal seeking hope.

Season Seven

So much Hope. This year is a turbulent time of change and renewal at Hope For Wildlife. Hope and her team are caring for more than 3,000 injured and orphaned wild animals – more than ever before. The workload has outgrown Hope’s tiny 100-year-old farm. She’s trying to move into a new facility, but the construction is halted by the worst winter in a century.
