Soft Landings of Tennessee

These save ducklings too! 🙏

If you have an outdoor pool please add a frog log and well as a critter skimmer (comes in round and square, links below). Both of these items can save countless lives every summer, like little Skimmer below, a frog-sized evening bat who was found clinging to clump of leaves in a swimming pool in Colleyville, TX following a severe thunderstorm during the summer.

Little "Skimmer" floated in the pool until he was discovered the following morning by the homeowner. He ended up with aspiration pneumonia and thankfully recovered after several weeks in care. A frog log may have allowed him to find his way out of the pool and safely fly away. Below is a link to purchase frog logs and critter skimmers. They are inexpensive and save countless lives!

Good morning! Today I have a little challenge for you. This is baby season for all kinds of animals. Everybody is struggling in the rescue world. We are having to turn people away because we are full. We are struggling because our mental health is suffering due to loss and stress and overwhelm. And for a lot of shelters and rescues, funding is always a problem. So my challenge this morning is that you find a local rescue or shelter that you may not have ever heard about and contact them and ask if there's anything you can do. Ask what is your greatest need right now? A bag of food? Some kitty litter? A Sonic gift card so you can grab food and drinks while you're running back and forth to rescue? Bottled water for your volunteers? Little things mean a lot. Even if you don't have the capacity to help on a schedule or every day or even once a month, just saying thanks I see you and I know you're struggling means a lot to a small rescue. You can find one in your area using the search tool above.

Kindness matters. Support your local rescues. And support your local rescuers!!

Please keep in mind that soft Landings is a domestic waterfowl rescue. We handle abandoned domestic ducks and geese. We do not handle dogs or cats. We cannot handle Wildlife as we do not have any of the necessary permits.

For help with baby birds, mallard ducks, Canada geese, or any other wild bird, please contact Mississippi Wildlife Rehabilitation. You do not have to be located in Mississippi to ask for their help and they have a number of other rehabbers they can connect you with.

We are so grateful for community members who notice and help dumped ducks! A couple witnessed these 2 Indian Runner ducks get dumped by a family and, instead of turning a blind eye, kept them safe and contacted us. These babies are safe in our care and will be available for adoption soon!

On our way to Corinth today to pick up this little sweetheart. Looking forward to letting it meet our resident scoliosis duck, Ichabod.

Looking for a rescue in the Houston area to help with a pekin duck in danger. Mostly need boots and hands to help her recapture the duck - it escaped after being treated for severe over-mating and she has not been able to re-rescue her. The duck is now in a body of water and being hounded by males once again. Please reply, message, or email us if you can help. THANK YOU!!
