It’s National Wildlife Day! We’ve treated just over 1,400 wildlife this year, with 127 patients currently in our care. Thank you to our community, our volunteers, and our donors who make it possible to care for our wildlife in need! Here are photos of a few of the patients we’ve had over the past few months. They thank you too!

Today we would like to start wildlife hero Tuesdays. We recognize and thank all of our community members who are wildlife heroes : the ones who call about, bring animals in, and our transporters who do what they can to get the animals where they need to be for the help that will get them eventually back out into the wild.
So for our first weekly HERO of the week post!!!

This wonderful man right here witnessed a Pekin duck that had been hit by a car and was bleeding in towne point, jacksonville. Once he called, he was asked if he could keep eyes on the duck while transporters could get there. He readily agreed. And not only did he stay with the injured duck, he came up with a wonderful plan to get the duck out of the pond, which indeed worked, and he also helped capture her once she was on solid ground.
His selfless giving of his time, and ingenuity helped secure this little duck a chance to be fixed up like brand new. In a world where everyone seems to be in too much of a hurry, he gave all of his valuable time to help a little soul get help.
Thank you, Duck hero, we appreciate you!!! ❤️
Let's give a huge shout out to this great guy!!

If any of our woodworking savvy donors or volunteers is interested, we could really use some new hide boxes for our squirrels and possums! Many of ours are deteriorating from years of use and we’re running low.

Dimensions are 10”x8.5”x6.5” using untreated 1/4” plywood.

If you find a orphaned wild animal please don’t feed it! Sometimes good intentions can cause harm in the forms of aspiration, gut upset, dehydration, and malnutrition from improper formula. The best thing you can do for them is keep them in a safe, warm spot like a box on a heating pad until you can get them to a wildlife facility to help them. We’ve received many babies in the last couple weeks that have been attempted to be raised by non trained people and have accidentally caused more harm than the good they thought they were doing.

While we missed posting our 🐾Wishlist Wednesday🐾 yesterday, we are running low on some frequently used items!

- puppy pads
- paper towels (our wishlist shows Viva paper towels, we use these for stimulating baby patients since they are super soft, but right now any paper towel brand will do for general clean up needs!)
- meat donations! (We’re very low on red meats. We try to avoid ground meat. But we are grateful for any donations as long as they aren’t seasoned!)

And of course, we are thankful to receive any produce, as well as donations from our wishlist:
