Rescue The Forgotten

Rescue The Forgotten We are a rescue that works to help rehome our communities animals by finding reputable rescues or new forever homes for the animals in need.
(2)

We share urgent animals at local pound facilities, helping to "network" them in hopes of them finding rescue or adopters that can provide a new loving, forever home. We are more than happy to help transport when able. We are an all-volunteer organization that does as much as we can for our local animals.

We are in desperate need for donations for Sky! About an hour ago she started exhibiting some symptoms bc she’s only 9 months and had her 6 puppies and it’s caused complications (Per the vet we called) please do not post negative comments. I am already crushed by this news. They cannot give me an estimate of how much it will cost until she’s been evaluated and I don’t have the funds to pay for surgery. None of the vets here will take payments from us I’ve called and asked. If you can donate please do if not please share

This is not a cute little picture of my favorite little babies which are skunks. This baby died in my hands , struggling for air because his mother was shot to death because she was a skunk. Another sibling was already dead. This is what happens when you shoot wildlife in baby season they are left to starve, be eaten by fire ants and maggots. This is the God honest truth
I have said it a thousand times I will say it again and again and again, mother animals will be out in the daytime looking for food because she guards her den at night please leave them alone.

Apparently our repeated messages still aren't hitting home for people. Maybe this will...

Last night at 10:30pm, we received a call about TWIN fawns that the finders had brought home and had been "caring for" for 3 days. THREE DAYS. They separated the twins and one person was taking care of one, and someone else taking care of the other, which in of itself is a big no-no.

They sent photos of the fawns sitting on the couch, wrapped in blankets, hanging out next to the humans. We explained the criticality of getting them into care and gave them the name of a rehabber just under an hour away to get them into that would take them last night. But they said "I need someone to pick them up, I can't take them there". We pleaded that these animals needed help asap and that what they were doing was harming these babies. They were adamant they couldn't bring them in and someone would need to pick up. We arranged for someone to drive there this morning and pickup the fawns.

They texted us this morning to tell us the fawns "aren't doing well". The transporter arrived and one baby cannot even stand. They both have bloody stool and will likely die by the end of the day. All because people think it's cute to keep a fawn. People bring them into their homes and treat them like pets for a few days and then call us when they crash. Our transporters & rehabbers are the ones who have to struggle so hard to save their lives and then watch them die in their arms. The fact the people who took them won't even drive them to someone for help after the harm they caused is the icing on the cake.

Let me say it louder for the people in the back.
STOP ABDUCTING FAWNS. THEY LIVE OUTSIDE.

You don't know what to feed this animal, how much to feed it, how often to feed it. Does it need IV fluids or does it need milk? YOU CAN PASS ILLNESSES TO THE FAWN. Having them in your house with your pets and your kids can make the animals sick. So many things can go wrong. DO NOT PICK UP A FAWN AND TAKE IT HOME WITH YOU. If you have found a fawn you think needs help, reach out to a licensed rehabber IMMEDIATELY and wait for instructions BEFORE intervening. And if it does actually need help, be prepared to get it to a rehabber immediately. Don't wait on us to find transport for you and don't take it home for selfies and a snack. If you really want to help that animal, then help that animal by getting it into someone who knows how to take care of it from the very beginning. We are sick of watching these animals die.

It's ironic that people tell us "I don't want it to die in the wild" when they usually die after being taken care of in someone's home who wasn't qualified. The "wild" isn't the problem, the people are.

It is ILLEGAL to raise wildlife in the state of Georgia without a rehab license.

Maybe if we make these posts every single day with a photo of the ones we lose, people will actually start paying attention.
