We've been getting an influx of calls regarding fawns left alone in yards and under trees. Please read this and enjoy natures beauty all around us!

It’s that time of year again- Fawn Season! We want to reshare a post from last year as we have been receiving multiple calls and messages through our info line and Facebook.

⚠️ Help! I found a baby fawn!

🦌 A resting fawn, lying down, curled up, does not necessarily need help. A fawn is often seen in the same spot for several days (even immediately next to a home, deck or garage) until the mother leads it to a new location. White tailed deer moms will leave their fawns during the day and return to them at night. This is normal behavior, as it helps to protect the baby from predators. Unfortunately, native forested habitat has been transformed into a more urban environment, making some of the resting spots more obvious and vulnerable to humans.

🦌 Leave it alone and keep an eye on it. If you see any of these concerning signs, call or InfoLine at (614) 793-9453 or message us directly:

❗Crying, bleating, or approaching people
❗Covered in flies, especially on its back end (mom is not cleaning the fawn's back end)
❗Curled ear tips (see photo, can be a sign of dehydration)
❗Located directly next to a dead adult deer

National Police Week is a collaborative effort of many organizations dedicated to honoring America’s law enforcement community.

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others.

The Nation honors 40 officers this year.
Ohio honors 937 total fallen officers.
