New Snohomish hospital makes 'massive difference' for wild animals

SNOHOMISH — On a sunny Saturday morning, hundreds celebrated strides in saving wild animals.

Behind the doors of a new wildlife rehabilitation center in forested Snohomish, thousands of animals will be treated and released every year.

“Our veterinary team will restore an injured owl’s flight, a volunteer will feed dozens of orphaned baby birds and a tiny bear cub will find safe shelter in a facility designed to prepare her for the wild,” said Heidi Wills, the CEO of Progressive Animal Welfare Society, or PAWS.

The new rehabilitation center in Snohomish has been a decades-long dream for PAWS. After purchasing the property in 2014 and breaking ground in 2020, that dream came true Saturday as the organization celebrated the facility’s opening at 13508 Highway 9.
