Mission Statement:
Human expansion is steadily destroying animal habitat, causing more and more animals to be displaced, injured and orphaned. We provide compassionate, healing, care to these animals, saving lives, and relocating them to suitable habitat, so they can have a second chance at life. Vision Statement:
No fawn left to die, alone and scared.

Merry Christmas from the Short family and Short's Fawn Rescue. God Bless You, one and All.

During the busy season, it can be difficult to find time to share success stories, personal shout-outs, or updated fawn photos — but we do try. In the off-season, it’s easier to slow down and reflect, so today we’d like to share a success story with you.

Meet Blue.

Blue was found caught in a fence — starving, dehydrated, and cold. The kind person who found her freed her and called us for advice.

We asked the finder to leave her overnight to see if her mother would return and to call us in the morning with an update. Sadly, either Blue’s mother never came back, or Blue was too weak to stand and nurse. The next morning, the finder brought her to us.

Blue was immediately placed in an incubator to warm her body and given warm fluids to hydrate her. She was monitored closely for 24 hours, with repeat fluids to prevent her from going into shock. Once she stabilized, she was ready for a more comprehensive exam.

She was transported to a veterinary hospital for X-rays and a thorough evaluation, then returned to our care.

After five days of intensive treatment, Blue was strong enough to join the others in our neonate pen — and she thrived.

She continued to eat, grow, and gain strength. Blue grew into a happy, healthy little doe, and on September 13, alongside three of her pen mates, she was released back into the wild to begin her second chance at life.

There is no state or federal funding for the work we do. Short’s Fawn Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and we rely entirely on donations to keep our doors open. All donations are 100% tax-deductible.

If Blue’s story touched your heart, please consider supporting our work. Thank you for helping us give fawns like Blue a second chance. 🤍

What does “behind the scenes” mean?

Often, it means around-the-clock care for our critical patients. It means taking turns sleeping so someone is available 24 hours a day to monitor vitals, administer IV fluids and medications, manage wound care and analgesics, and keep patients warm and stable.

It also means making formula, chopping veggies, feeding, cleaning stalls, and doing the extensive cleaning that hospital operations require.

Stress alone can kill a fawn.

When they come in bruised, broken, bleeding, and scared, their stress level is already dangerously high. Being cared for by a predator (a human) makes them even more vulnerable to stress-induced death. Add to that the stress of being examined, placed back into a car, and driven to another hospital just for X-rays so needed care can be determined…

It’s easy to understand how many simply don’t survive long enough to get the care they need.
