All creatures great and small! From a 3 gram hummingbird to a coopers hawk, releasing wildlife back into nature is what it is all about.

I have been practicing veterinary medicine for over 40 years, and during that entire time, I have had the privilege of working alongside Ginnie. For more than 60 years, she has dedicated her life to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured and orphaned wildlife. Her commitment to animals is truly extraordinary.
What many people don't see is the enormous cost involved in caring for hundreds of wild animals each year. Food, formula, electricity for incubators, cleaning supplies, and countless other expenses add up quickly. Yet Ginnie has continued this work year after year because of her unwavering dedication to wildlife.
She has never been someone who likes to ask for help, but the reality is that wildlife rehabilitation depends on community support. The animals she saves have no voice of their own, and every donation helps provide the care they need to survive and return to the wild.
If you have ever admired the work of wildlife rehabilitators or care about protecting wildlife, I encourage you to consider donating to Ginnie's GoFundMe. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference.
Thank you for helping support a woman who has dedicated a lifetime helping animals.

Ginnie has poured her heart and soul into wildlife rehabilitation for 60+ years, caring for anim… Randy Brunswick needs your support for Helping Wildlife Live

Due to my pending surgery, I have decided to not be open on Saturdays till further notice. Susan will have enough on her plate-me, the livestock, etc. I will not be able to got the barn for weeks to help her and she needs catch up time. I would think 1 maybe 2 months without Saturdays. As always, if you have no questions leave a message and someone will get them to me. I can't drive for at least a month so a staff member will monitor calls. Thank you for your patience and loyalty.

Attention, we will be closed Saturday March 21. My wife and I have to go to Iowa in the morning to pick up a livestock trailer, plus it is her birthday weekend-WORK LIFE BALANCE_what the hell is that. While in Iowa I WILL LOOK INTO GETTING ENOUGH SIGNATURES TO GET ON THE PRESIDENTIAL BALLOT IN 2028. I THINK AN ALL DVM CABINET AND VP WOULD BE GREAT. ARE YOU IN ROSIE AND AL?🤣

We are closed this Saturday March 7th. Reopen Monday March 9th. Once again, if you have an emergency and have to go to the Highland Pet Hospital, DO NOT MENTION MY NAME, they won't let you in the door. When you leave, ask for a copy of the medical. Tell them you don't have a veterinarian. It's sad the childish games that are being played. I advised them that one of their vets was underdosing medication and rather that do an internal correction, this is how they treat my clients animals. It is pathetic!!

I want to congratulate one of my prevet employees, Brooke Fox. She has been accepted at 4 veterinary programs- U of I, Iowa State, Ohio State and Missouri. She has till April to narrow it down to one. We are all very proud of Brooke and her hard work at school and here should be commended.
