This beautiful Red Fox Kit came in 2-6-10 after being found alone in someone’s backyard with no mom in sight. It’s quite early in the season to be seeing young foxes. She is only two weeks old; her eyes will open in about a week. She is looking for sponsors to help! You can sponsor this precious baby here. Sponsorship fees go from $25 and up! Whatever you would like to contribute will help!

Update: 3/2/10 - Prima is growing in leaps and bounds!

3/15/10 - Prima is 8 weeks today and still looking for sponsors!

This beautiful girl was the victim of an all too common occurrence: Trash. She had become entangled in twine left on the ground and when trying to jump over a fence, was caught and left hanging overnight in twenty degree temperatures.

A healthy Red Fox will have no problem keeping themselves warm during these long, winter nights. But if their health is compromised and they are left exposed, they will not be able to survive. more…

This Double-crested Cormorant was admitted after the Lakewood tornadoes/hail storms a few months ago. His feet are very badly injured and he will have to remain in rehabilitation for quite awhile. He consumes hundreds of fish a day which adds up very quickly. By the time he is released, his rehabilitation costs will most likely end up being over $3,000. Any donations to help sponsor this beautiful bird are appreciated. Every donation counts!

THIS PATIENT WAS SUCCESSFULLY RELEASED 9-26-09!

Thank you to all his sponsors!
