With our new construction we have also set aside multiple areas for a commemorative pathway.  If you would like to purchase a brick to be engraved with your personal message, i.e. birthday, wedding date, passing of a loved one, etc., click on one of the order forms below.

We still have several cages of squirrels to be released. When we do that will depend on the weather forecast. A few squirrel babies came in so late that it is doubtful we will get them released until spring. We are also wintering a cage of 7 raccoons, 2 cages of beavers and 4 flying squirrels.

Winter is never as crazy as Spring & Summer but we do get animals who need our care. The cold weather exacerbates any weakness the animals already have: mange, distemper, etc. There is no treatment for distemper but we can have the animal humanely euthanized so that it does not die of starvation or at the hands of a predator. Mange is very treatable, so we keep the animals (We have a fox right now), treat it, boost their immune system & keep them well-fed and when treatment is over, put them back where they came from.

We get a lot of adult Opossum in the winter. Being opportunistic feeders, they are often in the road, eating roadkill when another car comes along & hits them. In addition to their injuries from being hit by a car, Opossum are prone to frostbite because their ears are very thin and hairless, as are their feet and tail.

In addition to caring for the animals that come in, Winter is a time when we can catch up on the things we don't have time for the rest of the year. We repair cages, make boxes, do building repairs. Time goes quickly and before we know it, February is here and the babies are back!!
