We wanted to take today to shine a light on a wonderful volunteer Jo.

Jo started volunteering 2 years ago after she found an orphaned opossum and was thrilled to find an organization that took in wild critters! Jo helps every week to cover our hotlines and work at our facility’s intake desk.

Her advice to people starting out volunteering is to be patient with people. It’s important to be calm, kind, helpful and knowledgeable.

"If you are thinking about volunteering, just do it!"

Thank You Jo!

Often, Hummingbirds are brought to us when they strike a window. They are brought to us disoriented and dizzy but with care from our medical team and of course a couple free meals they are often released a few days later like this Anna’s Hummingbird.

If you find a hummingbird that has struck a window, please place it in a warm, dark, quiet place like a shoe box and bring it to a rehabilitation center as soon as possible, even if it appears well.

What do you think this Annas Hummingbird is thinking? Comment below!

Have you ever seen anything so cute?! This Desert Cottontail is at WCA for a visit.

Did you know?
Rabbit nests are shallow indents or burrows in the ground. If you find one, leave it undisturbed and protect it from pets until the babies leave (about 3-4 weeks).

Please only bring young rabbits to a rehabilitator if the mother is confirmed dead or missing, the infant is injured, if a sibling is deceased in the nest or the nest has been completely destroyed. Be aware that rabbits are crepuscular (they are more active at dawn and dusk), so you may not see the mother rabbit entering and leaving the nest.
