Another busy day in rescue. A sparrow fledgling from Austin, and a nighthawk from Winona went to WRC. 4 abandoned raccoons from Spring Grove went to WRR. A Cooper's hawk from Austin went to TRC.

Busy day in rescue. First we went to check on a fawn. Possibly abandoned, but seemed to be in good shape. So it's being checked on over the next couple days. Next is an injured baby bird. We're not sure what kind yet. It was too late to get it to WRC. So it's going up tomorrow. Last is an injured baby Barred Owl. Bad wing. Hoping it can be fixed. It's going to The Raptor Center tomorrow.

Dobby is looking for foster, adopter or placement with another rescue. He is a 2.5 yr old American Bulldog. He is a sweet, energetic guy. He was going to be used for breeding, but his elbows and hips didn't meet the criteria. Transport is available for this goofy guy. He is kid, dog and cat friendly.

In January, I pulled 2 death row dogs from a shelter in GA to go to someone who only works with pitbulls. This person backed out of taking these 2, however, 1 was adopted and went to New York.
The 2nd dog, Kovu, is sitting in boarding and can not be picked up until boarding is paid. We need some help paying for his boarding. I have attached the invoice.
Payment options are as follows:
Zelle: 507 383 5631
Cashapp $dogzrule13
Venmo: -bassett-8
Paypal: [email protected]

Any help is greatly appreciated!
