DON'T BE A BIRD-NAPPER!
It's spring and that means it's baby bird season. Many well-meaning people pick up what they think is a helpless baby bird, when really it's a bird learning to function on it's own, and the parents are nearby. Here is a flowchart from Audubon to help make a decision on whether a bird needs help or not.

We cannot accept wild birds. A list of local wildlife rescues is on our website: https://www.gccbc.org/

Tuesday Tip 📝

🐾Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month 🐾

Cruelty to animals isn’t always the same and it’s important to understand the difference.

It can be active abuse = intentional harm, violence, or physical injury.
Or it can be passive cruelty = neglect, lack of food or water, unsafe living conditions, or being forgotten altogether.

Both are serious.
Both cause suffering.
And both deserve attention.

The first step is recognizing it.
Cruelty isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s the silence of neglect… the empty food bowl… the dog left outside too long… the cat no one checks on.

The second step is speaking up.
Animals don’t have a voice….we are their voice.

Here’s how YOU can help make a difference this month (and every month):

🐾 Speak up- see something, say something
If you see something that doesn’t feel right, trust your gut and report it. One call can save a life.

🐾 Be a responsible pet owner
Provide proper food, clean water, shelter, vet care, and attention every single day.

🐾 Support your local shelter
Adopt, foster, donate, or volunteer. Even sharing posts helps animals get seen.

🐾 Support stronger animal protection laws
Advocate for legislation that protects animals from abuse and neglect. Vote, stay informed, and use your voice to support policies that hold offenders accountable and improve animal welfare standards. Power in numbers!!

🐾 Educate others
Kindness is contagious. Talk to friends and family about proper animal care and why it matters.

🐾 Choose compassion daily
From how we treat our pets to how we advocate for others, it all adds up.

At shelters like ours, we see the heartbreaking results when animals are failed…
but we also see the incredible change when people step in and choose compassion. 💛

Be the reason an animal feels safe today.
