As lucky as we are to live in an area rich with native wildlife, it also puts us in a position where we may be confronted with injured or orphaned wild animals. To ensure we do the right thing by them while keeping ourselves safe, please consider the following guidance.

Ask for advice: if you are unsure what do to or where to go, please contact the Wildcare Helpline, a licensed wildlife rescue or your local vet. The aim is to get injured or lost wildlife to a qualified person as soon as possible. Delays can be fatal.

Prioritize safety, for yourself and our wildlife: Do not try to handle potentially dangerous animals that require expertise and specialised equipment, such as snakes and bats. If you must pick up the animal to transport it, always use a thick towel and gloves to cover it. Contain wildlife in a secure vessel that allows for ventilation, to prevent injury to yourself and the animal. Stress can be fatal; minimize handling and always keep wildlife in a dark, warm and quiet place, away from children and pets. Avoid feed or water, unless advised otherwise, as this can cause more harm than good.

Do not attempt to look after injured or orphaned wildlife yourself; they require specialised care from trained professionals to give them the best chance at recovery. Intervention or delays, however well intended, can lead to prolonged suffering and lowers chances of survival.

🐶 When can I take my puppy out in public?
Puppies are curious and eager to explore, but it’s important to balance socialisation with health protection. Most vets recommend not putting your puppy on the ground in public places until they’ve had their full vaccination course, usually around 16 weeks of age (after their final puppy vaccine).
Before that time, puppies can still safely socialise! You can:
• Carry them in your arms 🐾
• Use a pram or carrier
• Invite vaccinated dogs to your home
• Expose them to different sights, sounds, and people
Public places such as parks, footpaths and pet-store floors can carry parvovirus (parvo). Parvo is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening virus that affects unvaccinated puppies. It attacks the gastrointestinal system, causing severe vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration and can sadly be fatal even with treatment.
✔️ Rule of thumb: Wait until 1–2 weeks after the final vaccination before letting your puppy walk on the ground in public spaces.
If you’re unsure, always check with your vet, as vaccination schedules can vary.
Healthy puppy + safe socialisation = the best start to life! 🐕✨
