🍂 October/November isn't just fall. It's eviction season for baby wildlife and the start of winter trauma season 💔

THE DISPERSAL CRISIS:
As days shorten, thousands of young animals are leaving their dens and familiar environments for the first time. What was a baby in spring is now alone, inexperienced, and crossing your road on the pavement by foot and flying across.

WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW:
🦉Young owls continue to master hunting skills. They often seek rodents or carrion on the road.
🦝 Squirrel and skunk babies get the "boot" from parents
🦌 Young deer forced away so mom can breed again
🦊 Fox kits travel 50 miles looking for territory
🐭 Opossum joeys navigating roads solo
🦝 Raccoon siblings venture out without mom's guidance

WHY OCTOBER/NOVEMBER IS DEADLY:
💔 First time crossing roads alone
💔 Zero traffic experience
💔 Desperate for food before winter
💔 Active at dawn/dusk (rush hour)
💔 Don't understand speed or headlights

THE HEARTBREAK:
They survived their first summer.
Learned to hunt, avoided predators, grew strong.
Then die on a roadway in their first fall season

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING:
Not animals "randomly" on roads.
Confused, displaced babies trying to find home.
Inexperienced youth making fatal first mistakes.
The price wildlife pays for our convenience.

THE KINDEST THING YOU CAN DO:
✓ Slow down at dawn, dusk, and night
✓ Watch for reflecting eyes near roads
✓ Be prepared to brake suddenly
✓ Remember: they're not trying to die—they're trying to survive.

Please give wildlife a chance🍂🧡

HELP NEEDED FOR ORPHANS & PUPPIES

We currently have close to 60 puppies under 3 months old in foster care right now.

We have 2 WONDERFUL moms (Princess & Kida) who are nursing 7 (orphans) and 11.
We also have Shadow, our momma to 7 who has just finished nursing and is now starting her lyme treatment.

Pictured are a box of 7 that were left on a cold cement floor under plastic to die. We were contacted this past Sunday in the evening for help and Momma Princess took them on like the hero she is.

We are in DESPERATE need of some supplies for our puppies.

Canned Puppy Food - ProPlan or Performatrin
Puppy Kibble - ProPlan, Iams or Performatrin
P*e Pads - Petvalu has a wonderful sale this weekend.
Frozen Goats Milk - Purchased from Petvalu as this is Kida’s fav

We are also in need of CLEAN blankets and towels which can be dropped off at any of the Petvalu locations.
