Took a little injured squirrel over after calling and getting details over the phone. Place was easy to find, ample parking and the staff was awesome both on the phone and in person. It was just before the snow storm hit so I hope the squirrel makes it but I'm glad it's in good hands whatever happens.

Went there looking to volunteer, but the 40 minute round trip commute made me decide against it. They are doing great work there, rehabbing hurt wildlife and returning them to the wild once recovered. Your donations would be appreciated.

I found 2, 4 week old baby squirrels their mom abandoned and they gladly accepted to raise them and release when ready. Love them!!
