MARCH
IS
BABY
SHOWER
MONTH
During March, we are planning a month-long "baby
wild animal" shower. Please help us prepare for
our new arrivals by shopping from our wish list.
You may drop off your donations during regular
business hours. Our foster moms and dads will be
most appreciative of any help they can get to
provide care for their infant wild animals.
Those include bunnies, songbirds, opossums,
squirrels, woodchucks, and many others.
