Lesbian Wildlife Hospital

About Us

Who are we?

Director: Mrs Ineke Peeters-Lenglet, BaPARMED
Wildlife Rehabilitator: Mr Joris A. Peeters, MA, Traumatologist

The "Lesbian Wildlife Hospital" is a NON-PROFIT organisation and depends on the support of its donors.

What is our aim?

Although it is a WILDLIFE Hospital, FIRST AID is given to EVERY injured animal. If the animal is a domestic one, the owner(s) are sent to the vet afterwards. EVERY kind of INJURED, SICK or ORPHANED WILD animal is accepted, treated and, if possible, released in a safe place.

Visits are welcomed, but please call us before (so we are there when you come).

What is our history?

The Wildlife Hospital started in 1993 as a private idea of the two keepers, joined the "Animal-lovers Society of Lesbos" at the end of 1995 as a "Centre for Injured Birds and Special Kinds of Animals", and became an independent Society at the end of 1996. The Wildlife Hospital is a member of the E.W.R.A. (European Wildlife Rehabilitation Association), is associated with the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and is supported as well by the GAWF (Greek Animal Welfare Fund) and the GAR (Greek Animal Rescue) in England and the Foundation "Dierenhulp Venezuela" (Animalhelp for Venezuela) in Holland.
