Founded in 1995, Second Chance Wildlife Center is a dedicated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, committed to providing compassionate emergency treatment and long-term rehabilitative care for injured, ill, and orphaned wildlife. With nearly 3,000 wild animals brought to their facility each year, they aim to rehabilitate these creatures and release them back into their natural habitats while educating the public about coexisting with wildlife.

Operating under permits from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Second Chance Wildlife Center prioritizes the welfare of each animal, and while they do not offer public tours or displays, they focus on delivering expert advice and support to those in need. The center's contributions have earned them acknowledgments from both Montgomery County and the Governor of Maryland for their vital services to the community.
