Whilst we have had to take a step back from rescuing for the past number of months following the arrival of our little lady, today we were called to help out an injured fox by Megan who was in dire need of a quick rescue and veterinary treatment. Thankfully, he was very easily secured and brought to Crowes Veterinary Clinic, who were able to see to his injuries and start him on a dose of antibiotics. We are very hopeful that this lovely chap will make a full recovery 🦊

We are delighted to have finished the Nature/Wildlife Trail we designed and developed for in Riverstown.
This information trail gives people the chance to learn about our local wildlife and how to get involved in helping biodiversity at home.
It ranges from the importance of the river Unshin to wildlife observed in and around it, the importance of pollinators to natives bats, owls, and other creatures often overlooked.
This will be a great addition to both the region as well as Sligo Folk Park and hopefully will be able to be utilized by local schools to aid in their curriculum.
A massive thank you to Sligo LEADER Partnership Company Ltd for funding this project and to Ballast Signs for delivering such great signs.

This handsome fella is looking for a home! He's currently with loving owners who adore him, but simply don't have the time to train and walk him as much as they'd like to due to their recently added addition to the family πŸ‘Ά

He's 5 months old, very affectionate and energetic. He has a very friendly temperament and we would love to help find him a new home 🩡

If that could be you or you know someone who would be interested, please DM for more info

We're in the final stages of getting a wildlife information trail set up in Sligo Folk Park This will be a huge boost for biodiversity awareness and an asset to schools all around the local area.

Work is finally on the way to get our Wildlife trail, designed by Wildlife West finalised. This trail is made up of 11 different stages and takes you through our native fauna from Fish on the Unshin river to Hedhogs, from Mayfly and their lifecycle to Owls and how you can do your part to help. This will be a huge step for promoting local biodiversity and a massive asset to schools around Sligo.

This handsome little chap is looking for a new home. His name is Hewie and he is a male degu. He was born December 2019. Unfortunately, he does not socialize well with other degus and therefore needs a lot of human interaction.
The right home will be supplied with a suitable enclosure for him as well. DM us if this is you.

Meet Kato.
This handsome, big chunk is looking for a loving forever home.
He’s a two years old boy and a big d***y lad with a big heart.
He has been living with another dog since he was a pup so he's great with other dogs. He's good in the house but strong on lead, so will need a strong, experienced owner.
He's will be neutered, vaccinated and Vet checked before rehoming.
If we hadn't just added another big boy to our own gang, he would already be spoken for.
Please get in touch if you could be that special someone to give this big Teddy bear a new home or foster him for a while.

Yesterday we were delighted to be able to release this gorgeous little duck back into the wild again. It was brought in all the way from Foxford after having been abandoned. After a couple of weeks of rearing at it was big enough to make it on its own 🀞 so we brought it to the Half moon bay in Hazelwood where it joined all the rest of her duck friends to have a happy life.
But as one rescue case goes out the door, 8 more ducklings come in. 🫣
Let's hope these little cuties will have the same fortune soon. 😊🀞

Great to see this little chap back in the wild where he belongs. Let's hope his parents can take him the rest of the way and show him how to Long Eared Owl in Leitrims wilderness. Thanks to everyone involved in helping this handsome little chick.

Thanks to Romana, Amanda and all the crew for calling us for this Juvenile House Martin who had been grounded. Luckily with a little encouragement we managed to give him a little push to rejoin his family over the Sligo skyline once again. Best of luck, little fella!

This amazing lady is looking for her forever home! A lovely temperament (and personality as you can see! 😊) About 18months old and has gotten on great with his previous male housemate.

Our rescue dogs have changed our lives and providing them with a chance at a happy life has genuinely made ours better! If we hadn't literally just adopted a new rescue last week this lady would already be spoken for πŸ˜… We would absolutely love to see this handsome lafy given the same opportunity, so please share/get in touch via DMs if interested! 🐢

This little Long-earded Owl fledgling was brought in to us by the National Parks and Wildlife service after appearing in someone's back garden. Juveniles will readily leave the nest, generally old crows nests, and climb through the nesting tree. Occasionally falling down, they can climb back up with incredible skill using both their talons as well as their beak.
The best thing to do would be to return it there immediately where the parents will feed it until it is fully fledged.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to locate the nesting tree and it's quite unclear how it ended up where it did. We will need to take care of it for a couple of days/weeks until we can hopefully reunite it with its parent who will do a much better job of preparing it for its life in the wild than we can. Luckily, young Long-eared Owls can be quite vocal, calling for their parents, when they get a bit older, so hopefully it's siblings will soon give us a clue of their whereabouts so they can be reunited.
