It’s APRIL 2013 already!

This year we started receiving newborn baby squirrels, with umbilici attached starting February 10th. In addition, we have received numerous orphaned opossum of various ages. Mid-April marks the beginning of the baby raccoon and skunklet season and May is the month for fawns. We expect to be quite busy around here for some time.

On the education front, we have been working with several local schools, teaching youngsters compassion through companion animals and also teaching about the importance of wildlife and how to protect it.

We look forward to 2013 and all it’s surprises to come.

Here are some photos of our most recent orphans in care:

  • DESIGN YOUR OWN INTERNSHIP: Although we lost our facility back in 2011, we still offer a flexible internship program but it requires discipline and thinking outside the box. If you are interested in working with us for your internship, consider participating in our “Design-Your-Own-Internship” program. You would commit to helping us with animal care and any ofthe above jobs plus anything else you can think of that would help.
