2 more little skunks retrieved a few days ago from the Carlisle area. Thankful to the finders for spending hours at the side of the road as they looked for someone willing to help.

Skunks at this age would not be able to survive without mom. The efforts and time given saved their lives.

Skunks! These two little skunks were found in someone's yard alone about an hour and a half away from us. A huge thanks to the game commission officer for taking the time to help the finders and for transporting them part way.

Baby skunks are super resilient. Very happy to watch them grow and eventually released back into the wild.

Raccoon release 2025. All of them seemed eager to adventure and check out their new surroundings.

We are reaching the time of year where many of the baby skunks will begin adventuring outside the den with mom. Because skunks move around so much, it is very common for babies to become displaced or for something to happen to mom; such as being hit by a car. Baby skunks should never be found by themselves, and is a clear sign that they need help.

Combining two individual skunks with drastically different personalities

Been a bit since we've last posted. We are still open for all orphaned and injured mammals; excluding deer. We have already raised and released some squirrels and bunnies this year, so hoping to post more pictures and videos from this year and last year that I have saved up. I want to thank everyone that donated towards the raccoon enclosure last year; it was a huge help. Also, want to give a big shout out to those that drove hours to save those baby raccoons. Admittedly it was a little rough, but they grew well and were released in August/September.

Here are some of their outside time pictures. I have some release pictures I'll add soon.
