Well say it AGAIN and AGAIN
FOR those in the Back!

🚨 PLEASE STOP "RESCUING" FAWNS 🚨

We know your heart is in the right place.

Every spring, kind and caring people come across a tiny fawn lying quietly alone in the grass and assume it's been abandoned. The urge to help is completely understandable.

But the truth is...

That fawn is almost certainly exactly where it's supposed to be.

Mother deer intentionally leave their babies hidden for long periods while they feed nearby. The fawn's job is to stay still, stay quiet, and wait. Mom's job is to stay away until it's safe to return.

Unfortunately, we see the heartbreaking consequences of unnecessary "rescues" every year.

Healthy fawns are taken from the wild and brought to rehabilitators dehydrated, stressed, malnourished, injured from improper handling, or suffering from aspiration after being fed the wrong things. Some don't survive the stress alone. Others lose the chance to be raised by the one creature best equipped to care for them—their mother.

If a fawn is curled up quietly, appears alert, and has no obvious injuries, please leave it alone.

Do not touch it.
Do not feed it.
Do not move it.
Do not pose for photos with it.

The greatest act of kindness is often doing nothing at all.

However, if the fawn is continuously crying for hours, wandering aimlessly, covered in flies, visibly injured, weak, or has ears that are curled and dehydrated, then it's time to contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator immediately.

Please help us spread the word. Share this post. Talk to your friends and neighbors.

Every fawn that stays with its mother has the best possible chance at life.

Sometimes the best rescue... is no rescue at all. 🦌❤️

Meet Kratos (needs a new name!) he is three years old. He's lived with three small dogs with no problems. He's lived with three kids ages 5 to 18. No problems he has been treated for an ear infection. No other issues. He is located in CT, and is in a crate 12 to 14 hours because nobody has time for him and he can't stay alone that long without having to p*e. I don't think most of us can he also needs to be on a diet as needless to say he's not getting adequate exercise so he's a bit overweight. If you can help this cutie pie...he's really a good boy!

We are heartbroken to share that overnight our dear Benji gained his wings. We were prepared to fight for him for as long as he was able but his little body could not handle anymore. He was doing well and getting stronger after being released from the hospital last week, but went downhill yesterday morning. We are so grateful for the team at Guardian Veterinary Specialists and to Benji's incredible foster Erin O'Connell Hoffman and her family who showed him a beautiful life full of love in his final days. Thank you to everyone who loved and supported Benji through donations and prayers. We could not have given him a chance without you. We wish we had gotten him sooner and that things had turned out differently but in the end he was surrounded by love and is now at peace💔.

A reminder to check your lawn and garden beds for mushrooms after all of the rain this past weekend, especially if you're using mulch/sweet p*et. We almost lost Dumpling last fall to mushroom toxicity, the bill to save her life was $13k. She spent 7 days in the hospital on antibiotics and fluids. The mushroom she consumed is not known to be toxic to dogs and yet it nearly killed her. We are on an acre and a half, I'm finding them in the lawn and in the sweet p*et. Pulled about 40 on Monday morning and another 60+ today. Most were behind a row of green giants that were planted under a large oak (location western CT). Just another reason why pet insurance is so important! 🍄‍🟫 🚫

Benji's recovery has taken a turn and he is headed back to the hospital this morning. We are heartbroken for him and his foster who has taken such wonderful care of him. He is lethargic and does not want to eat. Please keep him in your heart and consider a donation if you haven't already. His medical bill has surpassed $20,000 and is only going up. 💔🙏🏼

Benji is scheduled to leave the hospital tomorrow. He will need a quiet place to recover where someone is home, I am not comfortable with him being alone 8 hours a day for now. Right now he is extremely underweight and his appearance is very shocking/upsetting but his numbers are improving and he will heal faster out of the hospital. He is very loving and sweet, he loves to suckle on stuffies and be held. He will be on a high caloric hydrolyzed protein diet for now. I also think fresh air would be wonderful for him so a fenced in yard would be ideal. Benji will need to be neutered once he has fully recovered.
