What could be better than supporting local wildlife, sipping on mimosas (or juice), hor devours, a tour of our new(ish) 3200 sq ft. facility and doing it all with like-minded animal lovers like yourselves?
We couldn't think of anything better either!!! So - SAVE THE DATE - and join us for a brunch to remember! You'll have the opportunity to ask questions, see where the MAGIC happens and learn about our upcoming projects... all while helping us restock to save even more lives in 2025!
Bring friends, family (children must be accompanied by adults at all times), and a gift to get the 2025 baby season off with a BANG!

How do raccoons stay active and even play in water during the chilly winter months? It's because they are built for the challenge, thanks to adaptations.
Raccoons' plush fur acts like a natural parka. It's double-layered, with a soft undercoat for insulation and a coarser outer layer to repel water. This keeps them warm and dry, even when they're exploring icy creeks or ponds.
During the fall, raccoons pack on extra pounds to create a layer of fat that helps insulate their bodies and provide energy reserves for winter. This allows them to stay active on colder days without losing too much body heat - even when piggy dipping in freezing water.
These adaptations make raccoons one of the most resourceful and resilient animals in nature!
At SFR Wildlife Rehab, we're constantly in awe of their survival skills, and we're committed to helping these little winter warriors thrive YEAR ROUND.

🐿️ Squirrels Incoming! 🐿️
We’re welcoming some new squirrel friends today! 🥰
Here’s what we’re up to:
✔️ Preparing clean, cozy enclosures with fresh food and water.
✔️ Giving the squirrels a health check and Ivermectin to protect against mange and parasites.
✔️ Helping them settle in for a short stay before they’re released back into the wild, close to where they were found.
It’s all about giving these little ones the best care so they can thrive in the wild again! 🌿

Check out who we spotted loitering behind the rehabilitation facility. It's Bashful, one of the piebald leucistic orphans we nurtured back to health. Bashful and Doc came to us from Brighton. Their light coloration makes them more vulnerable to predators. Consequently, they were released here at SonFlower Ranch to give them the greatest opportunity for survival.
Raccoon enrichment is all about encouraging their natural behaviors while keeping them mentally stimulated and curious! Today’s activity featured a mix of food foraging, feathers, and baby toys: the perfect combo for these clever little creatures. 🦝✨
• Foraging for food helps them hone their instincts while making mealtime an adventure.
• Feathers introduce them to textures and scents they might encounter in the wild, prepping them for future interactions with potential food sources.
• Toys offer a fun, food-free way to challenge their problem-solving skills and keep their curious minds engaged.
Enrichment isn’t just fun—it’s essential for preparing these animals for eventual release into the wild. 🐾
