Success Stories

Here are some of our biggest success stories. These animals were brought to us in critical condition and are now fully recovered.

North American River Otter

This little(of course he’s not little now) guy was brought to us as a baby. Someone found him wandering in a cow field during a storm. He was almost gone. We started bottle feeding him and within a month had him on solid food. After a couple of months of rehab we are proud to show his release here.

Kalissa the Siberian Tiger

Kalissa is a Siberian Tiger we rescued in 2006. She had a severely twisted neck, known as Star Gazing Syndrome. After months of therapy she recovered completely, and is one of the most playful tigers at our center.

Hawk

We also get a lot of hawks every year. Injuries range from hit by cars,
shootings, poisonings, babies falling out of nests. This young lady(above) is
being released after rehabilitating a wing injury. The hawk in the pictures
below came to us with a bullet hole in her wing. She didn’t seem like she
would ever fly again. Once we got her healed she went into the flight cage.
After giving her a little more time than usual in the flight cage, she showed
signs of progress. We decided she is strong enough to be released back into the wild.
