Sanctuary News
September/October 2007
Baby season is winding down, and WRR is now
preparing for fall and winter. With summer temperatures still
in full force, it doesn't seem possible that a cold front
could blow through in only a few weeks.
Fall brings our attention to the outdoors,
to the facilities that house the 600 sanctuary residents to
be sure that we are ready for the colder temperatures, and
to the sheep who need their fall shearing. It is the time
of year when we check all of primates'
heated houses to be sure they have a warm place to spend cold
winter nights. We will begin to stock up on hay for the farmed
animals to eat when the green grasses turn to brown. Hay
is also an essential bedding material for nearly every animal
who lives in the sanctuary.
Numbers of babies in the rehabilitation
clinic are dwindling. There are still many that need our
care, but not the hundreds that graced our doors every week
for the past six months. The most happy of fall moments are
the releases — five orphaned baby bobcats, more than
70 fawns, and the squirrels, opossums, birds, and others who
arrived late in the summer will soon be set free in their
natural habitat.
We could not do this critical work without
the ongoing support of our generous members.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at our 30th
Anniversary Open House on October 13!
Warmest regards,
Angela Grimes, Director of Operations
