Dear friends and supporters,

We wanted to share a few important updates about the eagles in our care. The eagle who has been unable to fly is still struggling, and his future remains uncertain. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as we continue to provide the care and support he needs.

We are grateful to report that our newest eagle is making encouraging progress. She has been moved to the flight cage and has already flown to a perch. Although she is still a little weak, we are hopeful that with nutritious food, attentive care, and time, she will continue to recover.

This progress is possible because of your generosity. Your support gives these eagles a chance to heal, regain their strength, and move toward a brighter future. Please continue standing with us—they truly need you.

How you can help today:

You can make a donation through our website using PayPal. A PayPal account is not required—you can still donate securely using a debit or credit card.

You can also support our work by purchasing tickets to our dinner auction on the 17th. Ticket sales will be closing soon, so if you have been thinking about attending, now is the time to reserve your spot.

We would love to see you there, and every donation or ticket purchase directly supports the care of these remarkable birds. Thank you for being part of their journey and for helping us continue this vital work.

Wild news—the auction dinner is almost here! Have you snagged your tickets yet? If not, now’s the perfect time. Every ticket helps us continue caring for wildlife, and we truly couldn’t do it without you. We receive no federal or state funding, so our work is powered entirely by generous people like you. Your support keeps the wheels turning, the animals cared for, and our mission moving forward!

And did you really think the dogs would get all the fun? Not a chance! We’ve put together a fabulous basket for the feline fans, too. No cat at home? No problem—there’s probably a cat lover on your Christmas list who would be delighted to receive it. You can help us help the animals and check off some holiday shopping at the same time. That’s what we call a purr-fect win-win! We hope to see you at the auction dinner!

We welcomed another bald eagle into our care. She is approximately four years old and was found sitting along a roadside near Portageville, Missouri, unable to fly. An agent safely brought her to us, and we’ve provided her with food and care. We’ll continue looking after her while she recovers, with the hope that she’ll soon be strong enough to fly again. 🦅

We are also in need of fish and and lean beef or deer meet if you have any in your freezer you won’t be using. Can’t be seasoned so nothing prepared just good old plain meet. And as always thank you for helping us help the animals

Calling all dog lovers! Keep this auction item away from your pup—because once they see it, they’ll expect you to bring it home. Save yourself from the puppy-dog eyes and bid on it at our annual auction dinner!

No dog? No problem! Bid anyway, and you’ll have a tail-wagging, ready-made gift for one of the dog lovers on your Christmas list.

And this is just one of the many auction items waiting for you. Be sure to visit our Donate and Take Winter Wonderland booth, too. With something for everyone, you never know what treasure you’ll discover!

Still need tickets? Contact Carolyn at 573-270-7334. Every board member also has physical tickets available, so if you know one, give them a shout!

Thank you for helping us help wildlife—one bid, one gift, and one happy animal at a time!

This immature eagle has nerve damage to his wing. He can fly some just not long distance. He is eating great and very active. He has been in small cage trying to heal. We are moving him to fly cage to give him a chance to try to fly longer distances. He could sure use your prayers and good thoughts. As all we can do is wait and see if he recovers. Thank you for helping us help the animals. We truly appreciate you all.

🦉 HOO’S READY FOR A HOOT OF A GOOD TIME? 🦉

Meet our four fabulous owls—currently perched on a shelf and proudly rocking their wild spider-plant hairdos! They’re getting ready to fly over to the auction dinner, and who knows how much their leafy locks will grow before the big night?

Curious? Then don’t just wing it—grab your tickets and come see them for yourself!

Yes, these feathered-looking friends will be for sale. How much will they cost? That’s up to you! They’ll be sitting quietly—very quietly—in our stand-alone Winter Wonderland shop. Just like in years past, you decide the price.

Come for the fun, stay for the bidding, and take home an owl that’s truly a hoot!
