🚨 Graphic injury present in the second photo. We know this may be troubling to see, but it’s important to remember that wildlife rehabilitation is not always sunshine and rainbows. We are committed to giving this sweet family the best chance at healing and survival ❤️‍🩹

Take a look at our sweet momma opossum and her little babies! 🥹 This brave momma came to us with some significant injuries along her back. While the cause of injury is unknown, we know that the burn wound is through all of the layers of the skin and needs a lot of medical management. Unfortunately, one of her babies did not survive. We have consistently seen two other babies and they are definitely little fighters! 💪🏻

In cases like these, we stay hands-off with the babies, unless intervention is absolutely necessary. We provide full rehabilitative care to the mother while allowing her to fulfill her maternal duties. By treating her wounds, preventing infection, and providing adequate food and water, she is able to sufficiently feed her babies so they can all grow up big and strong!

Please donate to help us continue to care for our wildlife, like this opossum family ❤️

💡Spotlight Saturday!

Today we are featuring a very special patient that you may have seen shared on our page - our ICU opossum!

This sweet boy arrived in early August and was not feeling his best. After a few weeks of consistent care, nutritious food, medication, and rest, he is speeding down the road to recovery! ❤️‍🩹

We are so proud of this little guys progress and cannot wait to see him continue to get stronger every day! 💪🏻

🚨 New Patient Update

Thanks to a good samaritan who sounded the alarm, this beautiful red-tailed hawk was able to be rescued by our volunteers from 219 N in the Somerset/Cambria County Area late last night. This hawk has settled into Wildlife Works for its second chance! He appears to have a swollen right foot with possible fractures. He is currently being treated and his pain managed by medication.

There is an evident lack of wildlife resources in our neck of the woods, with Wildlife Works being one of just a few licensed wildlife rehabilitation centers in Western PA. As a result, we often take in animals who need help from neighboring counties, like this special bird.

The care of each and every animal that comes through our doors takes food, medicine, supplies, and lots of time from the incredible group of people who dedicate so much to give our wildlife a second chance. If you’d like to help animals like this red-tailed hawk, even a small donation can make a big difference for our center. We could not do the work that we do without your support!

Happy 🦉

On this week’s edition, we will be learning about barred owls! Barred owls are a native owl species found throughout Pennsylvania. They play an important role in the ecosystem by helping control populations of small mammals, birds, amphibians, and other prey. At Wildlife Works, we have a resident barred owl that so many know and love, Artemis! ✨

Fact or Fiction? Can the feathers under a barred owl’s wings actually turn pink if they eat enough crayfish? 🤨

FACT! ✅

Stay tuned for more content! 🦝

This guy is on the road to recovery!

He came to us weak and underweight, with a facial wound and a dental issue. He’s gaining weight and healing more every day!

Soon he’ll move into an outdoor enclosure to build up his strength before heading back to the wild.
