Update on my hairless bunny. Day one versus day eight... He is doing very well! So far, he eats, seems healthy and is quite feisty! It's hard to tell at this point whether he is growing fur, but I believe I see some. 🙏🏻 He is gaining weight and I will keep trying! Only time will tell... keep praying. He is just so darn adorable. 🥰

Just a few of the special animals that you all help me care for everyday. Your support means the world to me, both monetarily and emotionally. Some days are really tough. I can always count on my supporters to help pick me up. I just want you to know how very important all of you are and how much I appreciate you. Your encouraging words keep me from breaking down. Your words of thanks, your prayers, your emojis, your love, your support. Thank you. 😌 These faces thank you. ❤️

Thank you all for the outpouring love and support of donations for the critters in my care. It truly takes a village and I could not do this without you. I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for being here for me, but most of all.. for the animals who need us the most. 💞

I have officially reached full capacity once again. This little Eastern Cottontail Rabbit arrived with a very odd condition. He is almost completely hairless. 😓 I have never seen this in rabbits. His finders had been watching the nest which was in a planter pot in their backyard. The bunnies grew and left the nest, but this little one stayed behind. He is bright eyed, fiesty and seems otherwise healthy. I will try my best to figure out what is going on with him. He needs a coat before winter comes! I have quite a few patients in care who need specific treatments. The season is suppose to be winding down, but that is not the case here! Any help would be greatly appreciated. No amount is too small. All the animals in care appreciate you. They wouldn't have a chance without your support. Thank you and keep those prayers coming! 🙏🏻

Six new patients arrived this week.
Two baby squirrels who fell from a nest built in a chimney. Sadly, reuniting with mom was unsuccessful. Some things happen for a reason, it turns out that both these babies have squirrel pox which can sometimes be fatal. The virus can be transmitted through mosquitoes, fleas, ticks or other infected squirrels. I will do my best to help them through this with supportive care. 😓 They both are in good spirits and otherwise healthy.
Three more bunnies arrived, one dog invasion, one cat invasion and an older bun found in the road injured with a head tilt and head trauma. 😢
Another baby chipmunk arrived after being found lying in the grass, cold and lethargic. His finded warmed him up and called for help. I will help him get stronger and a little bigger for the best chance at survival. The other baby chipmunk in care is doing very well!
I will do my best for all of them. It will be quite busy for the next few weeks. Prayers for all the patients in house... it's a full one. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Two releases yesterday! The adult squirrel from New Bedford and the bunny with the severe degloving injury were both released back to the wild. They were both so excited and bolted before I could snap a picture! 😄 That's when you know they were more than ready! Such an incredible feeling to give these precious critters a second chance at a wonderful life. ❤️🙏🏻❤️ Be safe, be happy and be free! 🐿️🐇 Videos in comments ❤️

Last week, a bunny nest had been discovered by a family dog. The homeowners did everything right. They called for help, rebuilt the nest, tucked the bunnies back inside and used a laundry basket to protect the nest from their dog. Everything seemed to be going well. Fast forward a week and the bunnies left the nest as normal, except for this little one. We don't know what went wrong. She may have been the runt and just didn't thrive. We will never know exactly what happened but something was clearly wrong with her. She was as admitted into care this week. She was very unstable on her feet and quite underweight for her age. I will try to help her as best I can. She is already feeling much better and gaining weight. Hopefully she just needs a little TLC. Let's pray she continues to improve and will get her chance to leave the nest. Thank you for your help with this one Julie! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Update on the bunny with the severe degloving injury. -
She is doing super well! I am just waiting for that skin to heal a bit more and a good layer of fur to grow before she is released. What an amazing recovery for this one... a miracle! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

From the Beginning

My love for Mother Nature and all of her magnificent creatures began when I was just a young child. After many rescue attempts and wildlife encounters over the years, this love grew into a tremendous amount of respect and a lifelong passion. My experiences along the way encouraged me to explore opportunities that I had never imagined. In 2014, I began teaching myself the art of photography in order to capture the amazing beauty of our wildlife and the land they call home. In 2016, I was suddenly faced with the dangerous situation to rescue a pair of Great Horned Owlets that had fallen, along with their nest, from the top of a ninety-foot tall pine tree. The strength of this family of owls, and the will to allow a human to help, astounded me. So much so, that I decided to write a book about the remarkable rescue mission. In late 2016, I became a first-time author and published “Great Horned Owlets Rescue: Where there’s a Will, There’s a Way...” These experiences drove my passion even further. I felt a strong urge to do more than just photograph or write about these precious wild animals; that just wasn’t enough. It was time to take action and make a difference. My next quest would be to help care for these wild animals in this ever changing world that we live in. They need our help now, more than ever. In August of 2020, with the help of my husband Jim, we founded Roadside Wildlife Rehab, Inc. A non-profit, home based, licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility located in Westport, Massachusetts. This newfound organization will be dedicated to providing the best care to orphaned, injured and ill wildlife in our local area with the highest hopes of returning them back to the wild. It is my way of giving back to Mother Nature for all she has given us. My mission is to help be the voice for those who cannot speak. We are also happy to help educate the public on how to coexist with wildlife living around our homes. Together, we can help save the lives of so many of Mother Nature's creatures in need.

And now... the next chapter begins!
