Any little bit helps - we receive no grants from the state and are completely self funded - because of you we can rescue

Want to help wildlife rescue?

Picture
We do all of this rescue from our own pockets and its not cheap.  But your donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE as we are now a 501 (c) (3) Charity

We have bills for the vets if an injured animal comes in.  We don't go to extreme measures and sometimes we have to euthanize for the good of the poor creature.  This also comes out of our own pocket.  Same for medications, first aid supplies, cages and building materials, puppy & kitten formula as well as dog chow for the orphan coonies. 

There are no grants or DNR Funding to support us, we do this for the love of animals and a wish to put back what has been taken from nature.
 
costs per creature to release all out of my pocket or donations

RACCOON:  $73 per  baby
FOX: $70 per baby
SQUIRREL: $33
COTTON TAIL BUNNY:  $16
OPOSSUM: $27
WHITETAIL DEER: $400 -I don't do deer yet because of this
and the cost of 8 foot fencing.

Then if these animals need vet care (like the baby fox kit hit by a car) I take to the vet and treat - normal costs - I'm just lucky to have veterinarians that love wildlife too.  If an animal is too injured to save, yes I have to pay for euthanasia just like a pet then take home to bury.

How come so much. Well these  animals need special formula that is not cheap, fresh produce for all for a balanced diet, eggs and puppy chow for coonies are just a start. Then all Raccoons and Foxes are vaccinated (no rabies its against the law) but they get all other vaccines, de wormed every month and treated for Mange - just in case. Squirrels are treated for mange & fleas if needed and also dewormed.  We want our releases to have every chance possible to survive

So just wanted to give a big shout out to all who sponsor
and help me out - you are my angels and every little bit helps - even 1 bag of
puppy chow is wonderful!  Thanks again!

So we welcome donations of Dog Food for the Raccoons and sanctuary old dogs
Produce or Puppy Formula for all
Bleach, scrub brushes, old towels, paper towels - anything to clean - rehabbing is messy
Building materials of any sort - we always have need for anything to help us build, Hardware cloth, lumber, screws we are growing!
Fabric and polar fleece to make hammies and for baby bedding

Help with a vet bill

If you'd like to make a donation today feel free to use www.PayPal.com my email is 2ndHRR@Gmail.com - if its in honor of a lost critter make note of it and I'll be sure to list your name and critter on my Thank You page. If you'd rather not that's fine too.  Any amount helps us fund this project and is so appreciated, together we can make a difference.

Thanks for your support!
