Its that time again. Duckling season. Already this past week we have had 8 new abandoned ducklings come in. This can be a very taxing time for us financially as we dont get the support from outside organizations we desperately need. We get alot of calls from both the SPCA and local vets to take on, raise and release these babies. This is all a labor of love for us. I say us, but really its just me.
So im asking for assistance. If there is anyone who would like to take help with either, fostering, land once raised with a water way to release, with feed or financially into our account KELLY PHELPS trading as FAAB Rescue
02-0412-0108026-002 we would be greatly appreciated. Please reach out if you can offer any of the above. Photo of one of the latest arrivals.
