Depending on the season, we serve between 17 - 50 animals daily. 

We see a wide array of injuries at our facility. Most are broken bones and internal injuries. Human activities are often to blame for injuries such as:

 

• Impact-type injuries caused by cars and trucks

• Gunshot wounds

• Poisoning

• Botulism

• Electrocution

• (Illegal) trapping

• Orphaned animals 

• Illness

 

Our daily chores involve checking up on each animal and, if needed, medicate, hydrate and help with feeding if they are unable or unwilling to eat and check their weights. Clean wounds, change bandages.

To properly house the animals we need to make sure the spaces they stay are clean and well maintained.

When needed, we visit specialized veterinarians. A specialized veterinarian is very expensive, and a 150 mile round trip journey.

All patients who visit get a check-up and many need surgery. Most will get X-rays and blood work.

 

In between, we respond to calls to pick up injured wildlife. When an animal is hurt it needs help now!  We are on call 24/7.

 

Then there's the paperwork and fundraising. We depend on public donations to do this work.
