Meet Bobbi 💛

This little squirrel came to us without a tail, and we’re keeping a close eye on how it affects her balance and climbing. The tail plays a big role in helping squirrels jump, steer, and stay steady, so we’ll be working with her to see just how adaptable she can be.

For now, she’s cozy, curious, and full of determination.

Spooky season is in full swing at SFR Wildlife! 🎃
Our young raccoons had a blast exploring their pumpkin enrichment, sniffing, pawing, and taste-testing their way through some fall fun. Enrichment like this keeps their curious minds active and helps prepare them for life in the wild.

🦝 Oops… we're a day late for National Raccoon Day (Oct 1st) — but don’t worry, we asked the raccoons, and they forgave us… as long as we brag about how awesome they are.... OK Deal!

Did you know raccoons are nature’s clean-up crew?
🌿 They help the environment by eating carrion and keeping pest populations like rodents and insects in check.
🌱 Plus, their droppings help disperse seeds from fruits and nuts, boosting biodiversity and helping new plants grow. 💩 + 🌰 = 🌳 (Who knew?)

Here’s to our masked, misunderstood eco-helpers. Happy (belated) ! 🦝💚

The past few weeks have been all about goodbyes. Our spring baby raccoons are finally grown and ready for life back in the wild!

We’ve logged over 400 miles making sure each group is released within 10 miles of where they were found. Every release site is carefully chosen with a nearby water source, and we leave food to help them through their first day back on their own.

Watching them take those first steps into freedom is the best part of what we do. From tiny, helpless babies to wild and free, it’s an honor to be part of their journey. Your support makes moments like these possible, thank you for helping us get them home.

A Mouse Is a Mouse Is a Mouse... Right?!?!?! Actually... NO!

Deer mice are smaller, have two-toned brown/gray fur with a white belly, and PREFER natural, OUTDOOR HABITATS, while house mice are larger, have uniform brown or gray fur, and thrive in human environments like homes.

These adorable little powerhouses contribute to the ecosystem by controlling bug populations and dispersing seeds so we're happy to help them on their journey to recovery and to helping the ecosystem!

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to the Gala this weekend. Because of you, it was a night full of joy, laughter, and support for the wild ones we care for. We loved spending the evening with you and can’t wait to do it again next year!
