Not sure how many we have this week, but it was 40-something last week.

In this week's shenanigans, someone had two 50 pound sacks of food a little too close to the one enclosure and both were torn open and scattered everywhere!

We need to be vaccinated on rabies to work with them, and all but one person with the shots had called out, so they were stuck caring for all of them by themselves and then cleaning up all the mess!

Last week, they broke a door and 7 of them escaped the first level of fencing. This is why we have multiple levels of defense!

These rascals are always up to something. I'm going to have to figure out how to get the shots so I can help out next year.

Aww! Can your shelter make a GoFundMe?

They don't have a GoFundMe, but they do have a lot of other things!

  • Cash donation through Zeffy
  • Amazon Wishlist (usually a lot of variety of equipment here, from $5 to $5000, but here is the raccoon (aka. dog) food that they get along with their fruits and veggies)
  • RodentPro (frozen prey animals)
  • Mazuri (not sure what we get from here, but a lot of stuff for exotics)
  • Chewy (general animal supplies)

Oh I meant for shots for caregivers! Great idea posting the links, though!
