Our fish hook opossum is back in the wild!

She was found hanging above the water by fishing line last month. She was an emergency rescue, had the hook removed, and recovered enough to be released.

Because of this caller and the quick action of our team, she gets a second chance at being wild and free 🩷

Can you guess what’s wrong with this turtle and what might have caused it?

Knowing this information could save a life.

If it’s warm outside, flies will still be out laying eggs on injured or lethargic animals. Fly strike/maggots are always a sign that an animal needs help.

One of the easiest ways to prevent harm to wildlife is to cover window wells.

This opossum was discovered stuck in this window well after they had accidentally fallen inside. We were called to come rescue the opossum and by the time we arrive, the opossum was already secured in a trashcan. We gave them a once over to make sure they weren’t injured and happily sent them on their way into the forest.

So go take a few moments to cover up your window wells with some wire and help to save animals from getting trapped!
