Dont “help” the fawns….

IMPORTANT PSA!!!!
🦌🙏❤️
We've received 27 calls today about fawns....

Only ONE of those fawn calls actually required our help.
This poor sweet baby lost her momma, several days ago. She is in real trouble. And we will do everything we can to restore her back to health.

The rest of the calls, were just healthy fawns, doing what fawns do. Mom will put them INTENTIONALLY, near homes and other human dwellings (because there are less likely to be predators in those areas in daytime) while they go out and graze to make enough calories to feed their babies. Mom will leave them there for long periods. But 9 times out of 10 mom comes back just before dusk and off they go.

Fawns instinctively know to hunker down, stay still and stay put wherever Mom puts them. Please, unless the fawn is in visible distress, actively bleeding, has flies on it, the tips of ears are curled backwards, or you know Mom is certainly deceased.... just leave them be. They do not need nor want your help. Keep your kids and your pets away until mom returns. And just enjoy the fact that they chose your yard as the safest place to leave their baby that day.

Also please whatever you do do not try to feed it anything!!! Not even water.
No matter what Google may say , going to tractor supply and trying to feed it goat's milk will only give it diarrhea and increase its dehydration and make it harder for us to restore health. I know it is human nature to want to feed a baby that you find... PLEASE DON'T. you will be doing much more harm than good.

Handling or picking up fawns can stress them immensely. This will cause something called "capture myopathy", which is irreversible and fatal. Even after just a few minutes of handling. JUST DONT!!!

Most of the fawns that end up in care are a result of Good Samaritans meaning well , interfering unnecessarily and taking the fawns from where mom put them. Or worse trying to feed them.
They are literally being kidnapped. They may think they're helping, but sadly it only just causes harm. Please if you find a fawn and you are actually concerned that it might TRULY need help, do not touch it, just call your local wildlife rehabilitator or call our hotline @9735064353

Please be careful and remind your kids about the dangers of walking on Huff Pond. Stay safe!

The Montvale Police Department has received a number of calls alerting us to individuals ice skating on Huff Pond.

DO NOT attempt to ice skate or ice fish on the pond. The layer of ice may be misleadingly thin. You run the risk of falling through without anyone seeing you drop in.

Please alert the PD if you see anyone on Huff Pond.

In addition to it being unsafe, it is also unlawful.

Montvale Ordinance: 292-9 Skating areas.
No person shall go onto any ice, water or other such areas except as are designated as skating areas and provided that a safety signal is displayed.
