What Have You Rescued?

[asher]

Just dogs and cats. My kids and I have fostered 17 various dogs in 2011 from July-Dec. We hope to double that amount this year. We do short term foster, mostly for puppies or litters of puppies. Normally for local rescues, but I have also brought some home from my mail routes if I find them on the side of the road (or the bizarre one where a customer handed me a teacup poodle and asked out of the blue of I wanted it).

Thankfully, my husband has gotten used to phone calls saying "Ummm...I'm bringing another one home..." ;-)

Just about everything you can think of: Dogs, cats, rats, rabbits (pet and wild), mice(from traps, etc) , snakes, frogs, toads, all kinds of birds (mainly wild), squirrels, raccoon, opossums, foxes, turtles, moles, shrews and voles.

My daughter wont have her own pet ntil she can properly care fr one on her own, but until then, she can help me with mine

I am sort of a rescue nut. Besides the usual cats and dogs I have rescued baby snakes, a litter of flying squirrels (that got VERY interesting in my house), a baby mole that I dug up by accident alongside my vegetable garden-- who repaid the favor by sticking around and essentially destroying my garden, some baby voles (field mice) who also did their share of damage to my garden and my personal favorite-- a severely cross beaked EE hen that I named Amelia (she turned 2 in September and still going strong!)

This is me with two of my rescues a few years ago. The giraffe had her first baby this year, so I guess I'm a grandma

I've been fortunate enough to be a Wildlife Rehabilitator in Africa and the USA, so I have a very long, very interesting list of species rescued, handraised, and released back into the wild!!!

Turtles, cats, dogs,reptiles..... in florida i used to carry a reptile stick with me. Helped me getting ven. snakes of the street, or unwilling gator snappers. If its on the road or needs helping in general and it wont eat me alive i will try to get it to safety. I once even wrangled a baby gator. I also raise baby birds until i can get them to a real wildlife rehabber.

We have done alot of rescue. loads of cats. We were a last stop for lots of dogs. We took in high profile breeds, that had agression problems. Lots of horses. couple of winters ago we took in 6 in the middle of a blizzard.(that was a challange.) Lab rats, had a run with them for a while. Wildlife lots of turtles. We not only stop to usher them across the road, we have a bunch of other people doing it now. Baby birds, pigeons, in fact we currently have one that is in with the silkies, his name is Handy Cappper. He cant fly. A goat who has taught me they will not be contained, or tamed, so forget about that.

I have pulled a spike buck out of the woven wire dragged him around to the field. Escorted a beaver down to the creek. Rehabbed a female snapping turtle. Almost ended up with a camel a rescue was desperate to find a suitable home, lucky for me someone else took it. That would of been hard to explain. What was I gonna say ? It followed me home? Basically anything we can help. I cant imagine not doing it. There are more Just cant remember them all.
