🤬
How to spot a psychopath.. start with animal abuse.. dominance! Weakness, insecurity!!…over a trusting , smaller, or trapped individual… md over female, unarmed person, bigger individual, individual threatening a loved one…
It’s a classification and horrifying reality..our neighbors.. yes after moving from Boston during the apex of the COVID unknown.. we moved to Centerville…these are OUR neighbors.
They targeted us from the day our moving van arrived…

We had no idea the corruption, the insular nepotism, and evil that lurked.
I can only apologize to the animals found victim due to the twisted humans hell-bent to harm me by harming them.

Update: Ellie was SHOT!
I knew something was very wrong after decades of caring for Wildlife. Something was terribly terribly off… Ellie was born to one of the animals on my property… I know her… She knows me… Falling over in the manner she was presenting with no visible injuries, lacerations, signs of rodenticide, or parasite was an indication deeper investigation needed to happen…
Ellie was shot!
She is now suffering from fluid in her lungs likely because she is so unbalanced and is unable to write herself when she is on her back, not a normal position. Fluid has likely gotten into her lungs when she was unable to turn from the supine position she is in, unable to manouver from a head injury, also seemingly from a human impact.
Ellie is with me… I will do everything in my power to help her recover from this multiple injuries caused by my neighbors.
And 49 years in downtown Boston, we never experienced one weapon, oriented in injury on an animal, wild or domestic..

Please help us get out of this hell and return to Suffolk County or Middlesex, where we belong away from the sickness that is clearly evident in our current location.

Prayers for Ellie needed.

If you have extra.. send a few to the Rehabber too.
I’d just quietly began a sabbatical to heal my own relapse of a one of my exceedingly rare chronic illness, was on a phone consult with a PAC officer re a raccoon situation, when out of the corner of my eye, Ellie, as I’ve named her, appeared at my clinic door. Her neck looked askew, eyes slightly closed as the intense glare of summer Cape Cod sun was causing her pain.. neuro symptoms of head trauma. She fell backwards with a small dilbert in her paws,stumbled and flipped like a fish out of water among my wildflowers.
Thankfully a the rescue net near, and she, compromised, rescue was under 15 min.
She is now medicated, but I fear she may be pregnant as her abdominal shapes is implying.
When the injured find the Rehabber…
The ‘phenomena or, kismet, fate, dharma & karma, power of compassion.. ‘, name it what you will.
It is real, and I do not claim to know the cosmic or other forces that create these connections, though after a lifetime in rescue, I can say it’s real. It happens with human rescue too.
The number of animals (and people) who appear as if guided there, is out of the range of random chance.
It happens not in areas where you would find a concentration of animals, & statistically injured among them, yet literally out of the blue… walking down a street, in a sore, an empty underground parking lot.. and there, the orphan, the hurt, the suffering one is suddenly at your feet.
It seems us with excessive empathy find ourselves here.

It’s 5 am.. I’ve been up all night with her and was just at a Boston hospital all day Wednesday for my own health.
I pray she recovers quickly and we both recover and heal.

Update Marcel!!
A common statement I hear, ‘I could not do what you do.. I could never release them. How do you say goodbye?’
In all honesty, it is VERY hard.
After treating sick, injured and orphaned patients, achieving milestones, development to the healthy bodies we hope for, yet not knowing if they will encounter harm or life a long life is extremely difficult.
Knowing they can be free and released responsiblely under ideal conditions is bliss.
Unfortunately I can not release where our clinic is due to persistent and real threat from the humans surrounding us, therefore, we MUST transfer, have relationships with trusted Rehabbers for final release.. it is critical for the animals.
To get follow up reports is like wrapping an ache in my heart in a warm blanket. My babies, safe, healthy, thriving towards freedom.
Do we love EVERY patient?? Oh my goodness, you know it.
Some shoot extra Cupid’s arrows into my heart, and Marcel the raccoon who came in with severe heat stroke last spring was one.
This is a collection of updates from his final phase of rehabilitation after his wonderful recovery quarantine with us.
Marcel was transferred to the wonderful Wayward Wildlife in Sutton, MA.
Marcel also had some help making the way with Hare of the Dog, Inc Wildlife Rehabilitation .. these Rehabber’s are a few of my small circle of hard working heroes.. not only going above and beyond for their patients but keeping me in the loop.

Compassion … answered
Prayers … needed
Somewhere ‘round midnight, phenomenally kind Samaritan, Olivia, was driving home and saw an all to ugly sight.
Mindless trucks and cars literally driving int ok and over animals when they can slow down safely.
In front of Olivia, they were doing just that to a beautiful fox in the middle of the road.
She could not bare the shocking cruelty, stopped to move it from a further impact, unbelievably, saw breathing, it was alive!
Frantically calling EVERYONE, police, wildlife centers and hotlines, my eternal gratitude, she found me! I know at that hour it’s dire.. and after decades of Boston Police & MA state troopers calling in the wee hrs, I answer!
She was only 1 village over. Due to my own severe was injuries I could not meet her, but said I’d take the fox .. could she safely contain and bring her?
Olivia was calling from the road shoulder, sitting protecting the fox, of when headlights frightened it, rose trotting back into traffic further away.
Olivia, (likely 80 lbs soaking wet!) was not going to give up, followed her, and again she stumbled.
I received the fox 25 min later wrapped in cuddly fuzzy pink blanket, practically lifeless.
Thanks to the caring diligence of this beautiful young women, the beautiful red fox is alert and bright this morning but needs a thorough examination.
Why was she disoriented?
Was she hit?
Has Rodenticide poison been ingested?
Is she suffering a from internal injuries or infection?
Unfortunately I do not have the equipment to diagnose her so I’ll be taking her for tests.
Please send this beautiful red fox your sincere wishes for a positive outcome.
Thinking about today, who lost their beautiful founder last year. This one is for you Mikayla 🙏🏼📿🌈
