If you're in North America, trimming trees in late fall into winter is the safest time, but we ask that you still keep an eye out for wildlife that may need help! Trimming trees now means fewer babies in need of our care in the spring. ❤️🩹

Looks like we’re not the only ones reconsidering Monday…
This ground squirrel peeked out, thought about facing the day for a solid 45 seconds, and said, “Nope.”

🍂☀️ Happy First Day of Fall! ☀️🍂
It may feel more like 🥵 iced tea season than 🎃 pumpkin spice season in some places, but wildlife is already in fall mode—bears bulking up, squirrels stashing snacks, and owls scouting cool evening roosts. 💚

🦉🦉 Two Great Horned Owls came to us after tough, likely human-caused situations, one likely hit by a car, the other affected by a glue trap. Now they’re roommates in our flight enclosure, regaining strength for a return to the wild. 💚

🐝 Want a fun DIY to help pollinators? Make a bee watering station!
Fill a shallow dish with clean water and add stones or glass beads so bees can drink safely (bees can't swim!). And, of course, make sure to keep the water clean.

While this only shows the five most prevalent species we've treated in 2025, we've already seen over 105 different species in care this year and close to 550 patients in care TODAY! That's a lot of little lives to care for and enclosures to clean!

Catching a glimpse of the mole is a rare treat! Just look at those powerful paddle-like feet! 🏗️🐾
This tiny tunneler came to us after a run-in with a cat, but good news: it's healing up nicely!

This little Virginia Opossum—1 of 81 we’ve cared for so far this year—is loving the outdoor enclosure with its siblings… but not the daily check-ins. 😤☀️
They’re growing strong and are on track to return to the wild once they’re old enough! 🐾🌿

A Killdeer pair nested in a tricky spot on our property, so we blocked off the area to keep them safe! Their eggs should hatch any day - until then, the parents are doing an amazing job protecting their nest. 🐣
