Despite the recent chill in the air, it’s still summer, and it’s still baby bunny season! 🐇

We encourage anyone who stumbles upon a bunny nest to leave it be! These babies are most likely NOT abandoned. Mama rabbits visit their nests only once or twice a day, usually around dawn and dusk, to feed their young in an effort to avoid attracting predators to the nest.

If concerned, you can check for activity by placing a few pieces of yarn in a tic-tac-toe pattern over the nest. If the strings are moved after a day or two, it indicates the mother has visited.

When in doubt, contact a local wildlife rehabber! We do not recommend people try and foster baby rabbits themselves, as they are extremely fragile and require an experienced hand.

Sweet girl Heidi came to see us because she was producing some bloody urine and having accidents in her house.

Diagnostics revealed that Heidi unfortunately had a bladder stone! Sometimes, these stones can be successfully dissolved with diet change, but a few weeks later, Heidi’s hadn’t changed in size, and was still causing some discomfort. So we moved her into surgery to remove the stone, and she’s feeling much better now that it’s gone! 👏🏻💕

Our memorial garden is open for visitors from sunrise to sunset. 🕊️

A very special thanks to the Blair, Bigelow, and Hecox families for donating three lovely benches — now adorned with special dedications to their beloved pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge. 🌈

Please feel free to visit any time. Mementos can be left; just please avoid leaving food items. Flowers will be cleaned up by staff when wilted. ❤️

This area also serves as an outdoor euthanasia space for our patients. If you come to visit the garden and see a family already inside with their pet, we ask that you please be respectful and give them some privacy.

Thank you so much again to everyone who donated/made this possible! We’re so proud of this space. 🐾
