Short's Fawn Rescue

Short's Fawn Rescue Welcome to Short’s Fawn Rescue page. We provide care for injured and orphaned fawns. Our website is www.shortsfawnrescue.com Thank you for your support!

Short’s Fawn Rescue is a nonprofit organization serving Lapeer County and the surrounding area. We rely entirely on donations to keep the doors open and provide life-saving services for displaced, injured and orphaned fawns. There is no monetary compensation from state or federal sources for what we do. Our work is very rewarding, however, the days are long and exhausting, both physically and emot

ionally. Without your kindness and generosity, the work we do would simply not be possible. Ways to donate:

Mission Statement:
Human expansion is steadily destroying animal habitat, causing more and more animals to be displaced, injured and orphaned. We provide compassionate, healing, care to these animals, saving lives, and relocating them to suitable habitat, so they can have a second chance at life. Vision Statement:
No fawn left to die, alone and scared.

🦌 Introducing Our Adopt-A-Fawn Program

Short’s Fawn Rescue is excited to launch a new way to directly support the care of sick, injured, and orphaned fawns.

Through our Adopt-A-Fawn Sponsorship Program, supporters can symbolically sponsor one eligible fawn’s rehabilitation journey from intake through release.

Each sponsorship helps cover the full cost of care, $500 — including formula, veterinary support, daily rehabilitation, and safe release preparation. Quarterly, $125, and monthly, $41.67, payment plans are available.

Sponsors will receive:
• A personalized adoption certificate
• Intake summary and backstory
• Private progress updates every other week
• Photos throughout rehabilitation
• A release announcement when the fawn returns to the wild
• A special gift which will be sent upon release of the fawn and payment in full.

Sponsorships are limited and only available for select fawns once they are stable in care.

When fawns become eligible for sponsorship, we will announce them on social media.

If you’re interested in sponsoring a fawn this season, you can apply here:

Thank you for helping give these fawns a second chance at life in the wild.

Adoptable fawns coming soon!!!

Hello Friends of the Fawns!
Forgive me for the long delay in posting. May has been fast and furious and we simply haven't had time to post updates and such. We will do better! Just know that the fawns come first, abd when we have a minute to sit down and take a breath, we'll get some photos and stories out to you. Thank You for your patience.

I do need to take a moment to Thank Jenny @ Jenny's Goat Milk for delivering 42 gallons of liquid gold for our babies! Thanks Jenny!

Have a Great Day Everyone!

Honoring those who served. Thank You!

We have a small group of females and yearlings that hang around regularly. Lately, we've noticed that at least two of the does are pregnant. We even saw one that looked like she was in labor, squatting every few feet as she walked... Well, today we saw the first baby with its mom walking along like she was on alert and moving that baby somewhere safe. So cool to watch them! Sorry, the video is really bad, zoomed way in...

A huge shout out to Karen and Kelly, who busted their fannies in 85 degree heat, to help us clear the land for our fawn garden expansion. Wow! That's a ton of work! Thank You So Much!!!

Hello Friends of the Fawns! Our little buck made it through the night and is eating like a little champ! He has been moved to recovery and is doing great. His prognosis is still a bit guarded due to his traumatic entrance into the world, but all indicators are that he's a fighter and has a very good chance to pull through.

At only 3 lbs, he's a fighter! All warmed up and already trying to stand!

It's that time! Pregnant does are having their babies. Sadly, this poor little guy was ejected from his mom, along with two siblings, when she was hit by a car. The other two didn't make it. Please slow down and be on the watch for does and fawns. Thank You!
