Yippee More Presents!

On behalf of Operation Orphan Wildlife Rehabilitation, Inc., I would like to thank Kimberly Boone for her recent purchase of Pedialyte from Amazon Smile. The four bottles of Electrolyte Solution arrived today. Often the babies are dehydrated when brought into the facility, so this will definitely get used! Donations do make a difference. Thank you for caring.

In case anyone is interested, here’s our wish list link: http://a.co/5CqviY4

Donations Help More Than You Know

My days normally begin between 4:00 and 4:30 a.m. My routine is to put the dogs out, get my first cup of coffee (if it is baby season I feed babies as I drink my first cup of coffee) and then let the dogs back in the house. I like, when able, to take that…
