The Training Tree

We are closed as of October of 2021.

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone of you for caring about wildlife and doing all that you can to help them. You have all made a difference!
Closing was not something we had planned on doing. We love wildlife! We love working with them and caring for them on their road to recovery. Unfortunately, things happened in our private life and we had to move out of state unexpectedly so we had no choice but to close our doors.
Thank you for all the love, support and compassion over the years. It did not go unnoticed.

A quick update on our fabulous 5!

The latest, and probably last, update on the EGS who came in as a quadriplegic.
He has gained full range of motion and mobility in all limbs. He is currently working on strengthening his rear legs.
He should be ready for release by the weekend. What a little miracle he is!

A quick update on our EGS that came in presenting as a quadriplegic.
He has gained full range of motion in both front legs. His rear legs are a bit slower to catch up. But he is mobile!

We took in this young adult, Eastern Grey Squirrel (EGS) after Officer Parker (Brockton Animal Control) found him on May 27th.
This EGS presented as a quadriplegic with no visible signs of injury or swelling.
As of this afternoon he is attempting to use his back legs to move around the incubator and his front legs to try and feed himself.
This is him discovering the eye closing, yumminess of watermelon.

With temperatures rising, education is key!

We had the privilege of helping Dawn (from Berkshire Wildlife Services) get these 4, accidentally orphaned, babies to her wonderful care. With most rehabilitators full, these guys found themselves in quite the predicament here in Brockton.

Berkshire Wildlife Services, way out in Washington MA, has opened their doors to take these babies! The problem then became:how to get them from the gentleman who has them to Washington?

In comes Officer Walter Bettuchi. He received the phone call from Dawn, about the situation and he did not hesitate to help! He retrieved them from the gentleman and brought them to us. He continued to follow up until he knew they were all set. They were picked up, from us, this evening via a wonderful group of volunteers whose sole purpose is to make sure wildlife gets were they need to go.

Sometimes, it truly takes a village to save some babies...and we have an amazing village!

We have recently been asked what we need. Below is a link to our wish list.

We can also use fresh fruit such as: bananas, watermelon, blueberries, romaine lettuce, strawberries, etc.

Thank you for caring about wildlife!

🎼If you like my bunnies
🎼And you think they're sexy
🎼Come on sugar tell me so

While we said we would not do eastern cottontails this year, we did.
These 3 came in at different times, with different injuries. We are hopeful for full recoveries.

This Argentine tegu was found, unattended, in Brockton. He will be adopted out after the mandatory 14 day hold and ONLY to an approved home.
While he may look cool, he is not a beginner pet.

This Canada gosling came via Brockton Animal Control. He is the sole survivor of an intentional car strike, that killed his entire family. The man, behind the wheel, continued to go forward and reverse (running over mom, dad and siblings) until an amazing bystander ran out to stop him. Unfortunately, the useless sack of flesh drove away before the police could arrive.
Our gosling is incredibly sad and lonely. We are currently trying to find another rehabber who has other goslings for him to bond with.

*Yes, he does think our hose is shady as **ck*
