Spring Orphans Are Arriving

Time to raise "Milk Money". We will spend thousands in formula over the next six months to feed hundreds of orphaned wild animals and give them a second chance at life in the wild. Please help us make sure than no one is turned away for lack of milk money. All donations are tax deductible. Our staff and volunteers work around the clock to care for these animals. Will you help us by spreading the word and making sure we are able to do our job for yet another exhausting and expensive season of orphans.

Thank you from the bottom of our Wild Hearts!!

Fox Injured In Trap

February 15, 2010

This young fox arrived at Wild Heart Ranch on Monday, February 15th, 2010.

Little dehydrated and hungry fox on day one.

She had been captured in a leg hold trap. Her foot was swollen and damaged. During her bandage changing and cleaning on day three with us, it was obvious the foot had lost all circulation and was dead.

Her little foot showing signs of tissue death
on day 3.

Responding to treatment well otherwise, the little fox is now hydrated, eating well, destroying her cage at night (a good sign) and showing no signs of infection as we continue to defend her with antibiotics as the foot continues to slough off. We will not amputate and risk removing viable tissue. We want to save as much of her foot as possible so that her chances of healing and being released are as great as possible.
