I typically avoid animal posts, because I don’t want to get preachy to people. I love all the things ickplant shares and I think it is great all these posts encourage people’s love of animals, but we see so many people hurt or kill wild animals by trying to treat them like a dog or a cat. If you want a wild animal, by all means, volunteer. It’s (technically) free to you, and the animal will be safe and healthy and we always need volunteers. There’s some icky stuff, some sad stuff, but so much more amazing stuff and everyone you will work with is full of love for animals and for making your community a healthier and safer place for all these animals.

If you or anyone else wants to know anything about being a rescue volunteer, I’m always up for answering any questions!
