Is your shelter swamped with calls about wildlife during "baby season"? Shelters which respond to wildlife calls serve a great need in many communities and can save many wild lives. But what happens to those animals while they await transport to a wildlife rehabilitator in your shelter?
If your shelter is like most, you have no dedicated room, equipment or staff for wildlife. Animals may wait for long periods without food, water or proper housing before being transferred to a rehabilitator. This can endanger wild, young animals and demoralize staff efforts.
A Wild Ward can resolve these problems. Using volunteers and donated items, your shelter can take better care of wildlife AND save valuable staff time and shelter resources. Let us show you how ordinary household items, discarded recyclables and trained volunteers can help your shelter save wild lives and enhance your shelter's image of providing compassionate care.
