West Place Animal Sanctuary

Ocean State
Veterinary Specialists
East Greenwich, RI

OSVS is the leading 24 hour emergency veterinary hospital in Rhode Island. OSVS intakes wildlife when the Wildlife Clinic is closed and provides care until animals can be picked up by Wildlife Clinic staff and volunteers the following day. They also assist in providing very specialized surgical and diagnostic care to wildlife when needed.
It takes a village to meet the needs of the thousands of animals that come to WRARI for care. We couldn't do this alone and are grateful for the support of our partner organizations.

Creature Conserve
Providence, RI

Founded by WRARI's Board Chair, Dr. Lucy Spelman, Creature Conserve is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing artists and scientists together to foster sustained support for animal conservation. Through the artists' works, the science of saving species and the importance of taking a one-health approach to conservation becomes accessible, meaningful, and relevant—and the source of positive change.
