More Donations

I would like to thank Karisa Bethune-Zinsmayer for the donation of Force Flex trash bags and one dozen towels to Operation Orphan Wildlife Rehabilitation. I use A LOT of towels. They are used to put on the bottom of the bins that baby animals are in, to wrap around the snuggle-safe heat source for the babies, covering the babies and the bins.

THANK YOU!!!

I would like to give a shout out and thank you to Donzell’s Garden Center for all their support throughout the years. It’s one of our favorite places to put on a display because we get so many people that come out, not only see the animals but to learn about how to co-exist with…
