It’s baby deer season! If you find a fawn lying quietly in the grass, here’s a friendly reminder: please don’t assume it’s abandoned—this behavior is completely normal.

Mother deer (does) leave their babies hidden while they watch from nearby, returning only a few times a day. If you’re nearby, she’ll stay away. Staying still and silent is how fawns avoid predators.

⸻

🚫 Only intervene if the fawn is:
• Visibly injured
• Covered in flies, maggots, or fly eggs
• Crying for hours or following people
• Near a dead doe (and you’re sure it’s the mother)
• In immediate danger (e.g., lying in the road—if safe to do so, move it to a nearby safe location)

📞 If you’re unsure, call the PA Game Commission before taking action:
• 1-833-PGC-HUNT (1-833-742-4868)
• 1-833-PGC-WILD (1-833-742-9453)

🦌 Important to know:
Deer do not do well in human care. Even with licensed wildlife rehabilitation, they are highly prone to stress, injury, and imprinting. Unless absolutely necessary, it’s always best for them to remain wild and undisturbed.

Let’s give these little ones the best chance to grow up wild!

The pandemic’s cruel aftermath: progressive decline in spay/neuter capacity

More bad news for spay/neuter capacity in the US. The post-pandemic veterinary workforce shortage, funding issues, and other factors are still eroding surgery capacity at low-cost spay/neuter clinics.

Clinics have still not recovered to their pre-pandemic capacity, leading to a projected shortfall of 3.7 million surgeries so far. And this doesn't even include the compounding effect of those intact animals producing litters of their own.

The continued decline in low-cost spay-neuter year over year impedes access to basic preventive pet healthcare and threatens to undermine decades of progress in controlling pet overpopulation.
