A Vision of Hope Wildlife Rescue

Some snaps today of pre-release squirrels. Put a carrier in with some gourmet quality pecans to entice them. Great to see them alert, curious, & cautious. We try to make capture for release as gentle as possible. They have learned to be extremely cautious of humans at this point!

Belly check/ growth check this morning. Growing well, mean as ever! 👍🏼

Growing and developing Squirrel Skills. These squirrels have two tasks - grow wild; grow strong. Foraging, climbing, alerting to predators or anything else that isn’t comfortable. This group is excelling.

Squirrels at dusk. As we approached we heard the sound of a squirrel alerting to our presence. It’s a great sound for a rehabber- another step closer to release!

Moving time can be traumatic to wildlife. Carrier is in place for these juvenile squirrels to explore. Their natural curiosity has them all over it. Their natural caution means they will take their time. They don’t know that a much bigger space is clean and waiting for them on their next step to release!

A wonderful opossum advocate came across a little guy not ready to be on his own. Because she is caring and vigilant, she then found a sibling. Butch & Sundance are cleaned up, fed, & comfy with a diet plan in place to allow them to get everything needed for a successful release back into their natural habitat! Thank you, Diane & family!

Lovey Dovey, Chickie, Chicky, Chickee & Doug!
Carol’s little puddle of tinies are almost grown up. Finishing out their rehabilitation before a successful release!!

Lovely visitor last night. A kibble snack and on her way. She looked a little pale so if she comes back tonight she’ll find a liver & yogurt supper with a dessert of red 🍇

Petey’s memorial catio!

3 AM - just a random night check and found a visitor popped in looking for a snack.
