Help an Endangered/Injured Animal

“I had picked up a nest of Titmice at the end of Bowman Road in Cottonwood. On the whole trip back they were dead silent — until I got 2 miles from their destination. All of a sudden, in chorus, they started to sing the rest of the way. I got goose bumps because somehow I knew these little souls knew they were going home. When I opened the box, all of them flew up beautifully into a big oak tree. They were calling each other — “ARE YOU THERE?” and “YES, I am here.” The woman who had originally rescued them gave me a hug. That was the most awesome experience yet since joining SWRR.”

“When I fed my first squirrel, I felt a bit overwhelmed — there’s a lot to think about, including pulling formula into the syringe, testing it on my wrist to see if it was too warm or too cold, feeding the squirrel, extracting the nipple from its mouth, and repeating the process all over again. I had to do all of this while trying to gently restrain the squirrel. By the end of my first day in ICU, I felt I had learned a lot and had accomplished something.”
