What a difference a little time can make. This poor girl came in yesterday after be caught by a dog. This first picture shows a squirrel in shock, literally was able to fully examine her with no resistance or movement. On a better note, not able to do such this morning as she is up running around her cage talking to me in a not so nice squirrel tone.

Good morning everyone!! Happy Tuesday!

Great News to Report on Skullye 🐺 (our coyote caught in the snare) He is very active this morning and eating solids. We are still providing soft nutrition with supplements, protein, and vitamins to help him heal and recover from the torture he endured over at least two weeks. He is free of maggots, he has been treated with long acting parasitic meds and will receive his first set of vaccinations this week.

What is a snare?

Our coyote pup seems to be stable and making good progress. His appetite is back and he started eating today. Let’s talk snares (and all inhumane traps- leg holds, etc)

Pictured below is the snare we cut off the coyote, it was imbedded in his neck and came close to cutting off airway. He had a large wound around his neck and it was full of maggots. He managed to break free from the snare and after weeks trying to survive he managed to go to a kind home for help. He wouldn’t have survived much longer.. maybe a few more days at most.

Snares work by getting tighter the more the animal fights; but does not loosen. They are set at head level and before the animal figures it out, it is too late. Skullye was struggling to breathe, he was skinny, starved, anemic and full of parasites including the maggots eating him from the inside out. It would be a slow painful death over a couple of weeks.

How is this humane? How many more wild animals have to suffer by these barbaric devices before change is made? The animal suffers greatly. We must come together and change the laws before more innocent lives suffer!

We must change how we treat predators. We need them! 🐺

First Update for Skullye.

He has been treated for the maggots and most are gone. I am amazed at how fast Capstar works. It’s the perfect med to treat animals that arrive in this condition. He is getting antibiotics and pain meds. So far he is stable. He has made it past the worst… let’s hope we got him in time and he recovers.

Or go to bigcountrywildlife.org

We want to return him home. Help us get him there 🫶🏻

The Three Amigos; Chewbacca, Harrison, and Ford have just been fed their special formula. Chewbacca is old enough to learn to eat solids. He is so cute and they all of growing so fast 🥰

I am trying to contain myself as I write this. Coyotes are heavily hunted, trapped in the most gruesome way, and hated beyond measure. They resemble so close to our domestic dog but treated like monsters.

This beautiful male coyote has a very tight snare around his neck. He got lose from the trap and has been trying to survive for quite some time. He arrived to very kind finder’s home in desperate need of help. He didn’t put much of a fight in and allowed me to put a leash on and guide him in the kennel.

We will not show any photos of the wound here due to our previous page being deleted for complaints that our posts were harmful to minors when I see far worse on social media (p**n, human trafficking, etc). Because of the ridiculous complaints from people who have no compassion for animals we lost a great deal of our followers and supporters for our organization.

Finders named him Skullye. His condition is guarded. Our vet is in route.

Would you like to sponsor Skullye? Would you like to donate toward’s his care? Comment below or email [email protected].

We can’t fundraise on FB at this time as we are still in the process of getting our charity back on FB. We will not let this minor set back stop us or slow us down. We are here to be a voice for the voiceless.

We can’t thank these finders enough for their compassion to our coyote. He went to right home for help.

Mid morning snacks are the best. These 2 plus one more will be moving to an outside cage today to continue their journey to freedom

Chewbaca has been at the rescue almost 2 weeks. He is turning into a handsome little guy. In less that two weeks, he has doubled his weight and is very active and learning to climb. With the proper care and nutrition, these little babies can grow quickly! Remember, if you find injured or orphaned wildlife, please call a rescue center to properly care for these babies and give them the best chance at survival 😍

Ford’s little tummy is full and he is tucked in for nap time. Sweet dreams little guy. He has plenty of growing to do. 😍
