BIRDS
90% of our rescued animals are birds. There are many various types of birds so it's vital to know the species so you can prepare appropriate food and housing! Many birds leave their babies to seek food or to encourage fledging. Removing a baby can be detrimental. Click on the click to learn more!!!
CREEPIES & CRAWLIES
Wild animals do not have the luxury of flea and tick shampoos, lice powders, and worm or parasitic medicines. Some wild animals carry deadly diseases. It's best to call a trained professional to rescue when needed.
