 WRR
Sanctuary News
May 2008
The month of May celebrates Mother's Day and
Wildlife Stewardship Month. Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation
(WRR) honors all of the mothers in the wildlife community
who have lost their lives to careless drivers, tree trimmers,
and habitat destruction, among the many sorts of things that
can happen to wild animals. We will do our best to be a motherly
substitute for babies who are in our care. You can show your
mother you care by giving her the gift of a Mother's
Day Sponsorship and know that you have helped WRR save
lives.
The Win a Wild
Ride to Save Wildlife event and other fundraising
efforts are especially important this time of year when the
rehabilitation nursery is bustling with more than 300 animals.
Opossums are plentiful this year, and we are well into the
baby bird season. Just this past week the first tiniest of
fawns was brought in for our care. Each rehabilitation patient
requires food, housing, and medical care. Medium-sized carriers
for the youngsters are in great demand right now, and we do
not have enough to meet their needs. As more and more baby
birds arrive, we are beginning to run low on the soft mesh
net cages that keep them safe so that their feathers can grow
without damage from a hard metal cage. Will you please help
house the babies in our clinic by donating a carrier or net
cage? See our Wish List
for details on ordering.
In this edition, we share a beautiful story
about a hawk rescue, as well as information
and ideas about how you can be stewards
of wildlife. Enjoy the May edition of WRR Sanctuary
News!
