Short's Fawn Rescue Welcome to Short’s Fawn Rescue page. We provide care for injured and orphaned fawns. Our website is www.shortsfawnrescue.com Thank you for your support!

Short’s Fawn Rescue is a nonprofit organization serving Lapeer County and the surrounding area. We rely entirely on donations to keep the doors open and provide life-saving services for displaced, injured and orphaned fawns. There is no monetary compensation from state or federal sources for what we do. Our work is very rewarding, however, the days are long and exhausting, both physically and emotionally. Without your kindness and generosity, the work we do would simply not be possible. Ways to donate:

Mission Statement:
Human expansion is steadily destroying animal habitat, causing more and more animals to be displaced, injured and orphaned. We provide compassionate, healing, care to these animals, saving lives, and relocating them to suitable habitat, so they can have a second chance at life. Vision Statement:
No fawn left to die, alone and scared.

Hello Friends of the Fawns!

Fawn season has officially ended, and we are busy cleaning pens, planting food plots, doing annual maintenance, and of course, the always fun, books and records. Fundraising season officially begins as soon as Fawn season ends, so we can raise the funds needed to prepare for next season.

Stay tuned, as we will be announcing the first 2027 Fawn fundraiser very soon. Thank you! In the meantime, we've prepared a photoblast of some of our favorite photos and memories from 2026. Thank You!

Hello Friends of the Fawns!

I just wanted to take a moment to say 𝙏𝒉𝙖𝒏𝙠 𝙔𝒐𝙪! to some very special people - our Adopt-A-Fawn symbolic parents.

We have talked about doing this program for a few years, but always got lost in caring for the fawns and never really got it off the ground. This year, we made a disciplined effort to take the time, and do the extra work needed to make this program possible.

To our surprise, it was better received than we had anticipated and was instrumental in helping us get through fawns season. So, a huge 𝙏𝒉𝙖𝒏𝙠 𝙔𝒐𝙪! to everyone who participated.

We hit some bumps along the way, but overall I think it was very successful. We have taken what we learned and are planning to do an even better program in the future.

We are grateful for such caring people helping to support our cause, and look forward to next season. 𝙏𝒉𝙖𝒏𝙠 𝙔𝒐𝙪!

We've attached the photos of our adoptees - enjoy!

Hello Friends of the Fawns. This is our fourth and final release of the season - Lapeer county. Much easier and better for both us and the fawns! Enjoy!

Hello Friends of the Fawns! As promised, the first of the release videos is ready to be shared. A little explanation before you view it. First, by law, fawns have to be returned to their county of origin. Second, we strive to keep our fawns wild, so sedation is necessary to keep them safe during transport. We hope you enjoy seeing our release videos. This is our Oakland county release - note: there were two groups for Oakland so some pics show four fawns, and some show five. Enjoy!

Hello Friends of the Fawns!

Now that fawn season is officially over, we want to thank everyone who supported us this season. Thank You!!!

Our pens are now empty and quiet. It's sad and exciting at the same time. So happy for all the little lives we saved this year, and so grateful for those who helped.

Just so everyone knows, under the Michigan Conservation Order, all rehabilitated fawns must be released by Oct. 1st. Starting today (October 1st), all fawns, spots or not, are considered adults and we are not permitted to rescue adult deer.

We are still taking calls, providing information and education when needed, but we are closed for intake until next year.

Once again, thank you for all of your support this year. We should have some photos and videos coming out real soon.
Thank You!

Good Morning Friends of the Fawns!

As we transition into fall, the shorter days and cooler temperatures will trigger a change in our deer herd. Their bodies will start shedding their summer fur, and growing in that thick winter fur. These changes will also trigger their need to fatten up for the cold winter months, and start the breeding season.

Couple with this the start of hunting season, and deer activity will be on the rise. Please be aware that does will be moving in and out of feeding areas, with fawns in tow. Bucks will be going into rut and chasing does. All in all, this spike in activity causes a lot more opportunities to see deer as you are travelling about.

Please! Put your phone down, and pay attention. Deer appear so quickly, you have only a moment to react. Slowing down also increases the time you'll have to react. Be safe out there!

Thank You!
