Can You believe its already September! Where did the summer go. We know we know its hot as can be but guess what, fall is right around the corner then guess what else? Christmas. We bet a lot of you are already thinking about it. The animals here at Warkins Wildlife Rehab sure are. They are busy little beavers thinking about what they will get for their friends and family. Also thinking about what they will get for themselves.

Well guess what else, we are ready for you to start the holiday shopping. For those that want to give an early gift why not buy a pair of Dinner Auction tickets for them. Better yet buy 4 and and go as a group. Thinking abut groups if you have a large one then why not get a whole table to yourself. What a great gift that is. And to thank you we will have a little something extra at the table for you to take home. No, we are not telling you what it is, buy the table come have dinner shop and bid and you will find out.

Cant come but still want to help. Well, you can just make a donation directly to us. Or you can even create your very own gift basket. Not good at that, its ok donate single items for us to auction off or set in our little winter wonderland shop set up right at the venue the night of the auction. So many ways to help.

To get tickets just call Carolyn or John, you can even get hold of any bord member and we will get you set up. Thanks for helping us help the animals. You are the best. Have a great day and stay cool.

Hi everyone Hank here just wanting to say hello and welcome our newest rescue to Watkins. Look at those eyes so beautiful just looking right at you. I think she is saying thank you for rescuing me. This is a baby who fell out of a tree and the nice people brought her to us. She is healthy just to little to be on her own. So we will care for her until she can be released.

If you want to help with her care to are welcome to make a donation. Just head over to the website and scroll to the bottom where it says donate.

Thanks guys, now go enjoy the day.

Look who we got in yesterday . A baby screech owl. So tiny so cute. We will care for her and love her and someday when she is old enough we will return her to the wild. Thank you all for helping us help the animals. It’s truly a team effort.

You did it!. You donated and we were able to purchase the golf cart. Hard to explain how much this is going to help. Moving animals around in cages, moving food from delivery to storages to the animals. This will allow Carolyn and John to spend more time helping the animals. You did this. You did this with donations with sharing the posts by helping to get the word out. Your likes your comments it all helps.

But don’t worry if you were thinking of donating you still can. We have daily monthly expenses that change each month. We get nothing from the state or federal government, we run 100% on donations. Donations from you. You can even set it up to automatically give a monthly donation since it’s done through PayPal. And if online donations are not for you simply send a check or even get hold of any board member and we can deliver cash or checks for you.

John and Carolyn Watkins’s humbly from their hearts say thank you.

We released this bald eagle in Poplar Bluff yesterday ! He came in with talon issues and could not stand up. We hand fed him until he was able to grip the tree limb and stand on his own. He is completely healed and ready to return to his home in Poplar Bluff. And guess what , you all helped. Your donations helped. Your words of encouragement helped, your sharing our posts helped your comments and likes helped. Let’s keep it up ok.

Also can’t explain how grateful we are to the donations concerning the golf cart. Wow guys you really are the best. People don’t realize we get no state or federal funding; we run 100% on donations and this is needed year round. Thank you all, and happy Mother’s Day.
