🦊 Wildlife rehabilitation for predator species is not for the faint of heart.
While many people see the cute faces of bobcats, foxes, and other wildlife that come through our doors, there is so much more involved behind the scenes. Our goal is to keep them as wild as possible❗️
Predators must develop the skills they need to survive on their own. That means learning to hunt, stalk prey, recognize danger, and rely on their natural instincts. It also means providing a species-appropriate diet, which often includes raw & live meat, and ensuring they have opportunities to practice the behaviors they'll need once they are back in the wild.
Even though these are frozen chicks in the pictures. We ask that if you disagree with the natural behaviors of predator species, please keep negative comments to yourself. Hunting is not something we teach because we want to. It is something essential that they must learn to survive on their own. Our responsibility is to prepare these animals for life in the wild, not life in captivity.
At the end of the day, our mission remains the same: ✨Rescue. Rehabilitate. Release. ❤️

Thank you to our friends at Ascend Performance Materials for calling us as soon as they saw this precious little girl. She is underweight and definitely dehydrated. Bless her heart! She has better days ahead of her now ❤️

Just under two weeks ago, this young raccoon arrived in our care in rough shape, suffering from severe mange and the effects of poor nutrition.
With proper nutrition, medicated treatments for mange, and routine baths to help remove dead skin, excess hair, and mites, this little one has made incredible progress. While there is still a road ahead, we couldn't be more proud of how far he has come in such a short time.
Wildlife rehabilitation takes time, patience, and a lot of dedication, but seeing transformations like this reminds us why we do what we do. Thank you to everyone who continues to support our mission and help animals like him get a second chance. ❤️🦝

Behind many animal rescuers is a very patient spouse who has heard some very normal phrases like:

“Don’t open the bathroom door, there’s an opossum in there.”

“Can you drive while I hold the raccoon?”

“Please don’t ask what’s in the box”

Animal rescue may start with one person, but it quickly becomes a whole-family adventure. Our spouses become drivers, cage builders, supply runners, emotional support humans, and occasional reluctant wildlife assistants. They celebrate the releases, mourn the losses, tolerate the chaos, and somehow still love us when the whole house has been turned into an animal nursery.

So here’s to the spouses behind the scenes! The ones who didn’t necessarily sign up for wildlife rescue, but got drafted anyway. We couldn’t do this without you. ❤️

And to all the rescue spouses out there… thank you for pretending this is normal. 🦝🐿️🦨

Nothing says romance like, “Please help me move this cage before dark.”

If you’re in animal rescue of any kind, feel free to share photos of you and your rescue partner in the comments! 👇🏻

One of the most common calls we receive this time of year is about baby bunnies found alone in a nest. In most cases, these babies are not orphaned. Mother rabbits only return to their nests twice a day. Which is at dawn and dusk, to feed their young. This helps avoid attracting predators to the nest.
We have shared information on our page about how to protect nests from predators and household pets while giving mom the best opportunity to raise her own babies. Whenever possible, that is always the best outcome.
To keep them comfortable, they have a heating pad placed underneath their temporary set up to help maintain proper body temperature. Since they are all at different developmental stages, each baby will be fed and cared for according to its individual needs.
❗️Before removing baby bunnies from a nest, please reach out to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for guidance. 🙏
A few simple steps can often reunite a family and give these babies the best chance at a wild future. ❤️

Something to brighten your day. ☀️ Our Rescue piglets love massage time. 🐷 They purposely lay up against the cage, so the raccoons will scratch all over them. We get a good laugh every time.

Y’all help us give a warm welcome to the newest members of our team, Roxy's Little Bandit Rescue
🦝❤️
While their time working alongside us will be temporary, we are incredibly grateful to have them. They recently obtained their own permit and are currently working toward their 501(c)(3) status.
From day one, it was clear that we share the same mission. ALWAYS putting the animals first.
Just look at their rescue room 👀 It's a true reflection of their dedication to providing quality care.
Please take a moment to follow and support their rescue page!🙏
The wildlife community is strongest when we work together. ❤️
