Goodness, it seems like a long time since you have heard from us, doesn't it? We are still here, quietly continuing our work to help as many wild animals as each of us possibly can and still maintain our normal everyday obligations. Some of us have children, some of us have aging parents, some of us work full time, and some of us have health issues. A lot of us feel like WE need rehabbing! We're not in this for the fame – there are no annual awards for climbing the highest to put a baby squirrel back in a nest or having the muddiest injured goose capture on video. We're not in this for the fortune – there is no money to be made in rehabbing. The emotional "downs" are tough – it's not easy having an animal euthanized. We're not even in this to help the people who have found injured or truly orphaned wildlife – although most are truly grateful for our help. We do this simply because we love the animals. We know without a doubt that the wild animals we work with are special. Each has its own personality. Some are a joy. Others are little monsters. ALL are special.
The past several months have been rough on everyone. The horrific attacks on our home soil and declining economy have taken a toll. Sometimes, it feels like our personal world has a lot of uncertainty in it that wasn't there a year ago. But we can tell you one thing that is certain, wildlife will continue to need our help – yours and ours.
Your tax-deductible contribution will help us continue this important work. Your membership helps us buy food and medicine, as well as helps with the veterinary bills. We need your continued support. The animals need our help AND yours.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the veterinarians who have helped us treat wildlife. They have calmed our nerves and laughed with us about our latest rehab exploits. They have graciously told us things that we did not want to hear. They have allowed us to learn from their wisdom and guidance. We are forever grateful to them all.
