PUPS’ puppies

Tiny trauma

Skyesfawn

Fawn being treated at Skye’s Spirit Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

Skye’s Spirit Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Harrisville is caring for yet another fawn.

“And another itty bitty fawn from Pittsburgh. The rescuer watched for two days hoping for a mom but this baby just kept deteriorating,” the center posted on Facebook. “He’s really dehydrated and emaciated. I’m slowly introducing formula, very diluted at first after I worked at getting him hydrated. Again, I must ask for help with funds to help raise these babies.”

At $500 each to raise, the center can only take so many before it is unable to accept more.

People may donation on the center’s website www.skyes-spirit.com or mail to SSWRC, 889 Farren Surrena Road. Harrisville, PA. 16038.

Making an appearance

Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center in Saegertown will be at the Erie vendor and craft show which is held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 10, at Lake Shore Fire Department 5310 W. Lake Road, Erie.

“Our live ambassador owls will be on hand so you can enjoy shopping and browsing the crafts for sale, get a bite to eat and also learn about these captivating nocturnal raptors and meet them up close,” the center posted on its Facebook page.

All proceeds from the show benefit Tamarack Wildlife Center.

More information about the center is available at www.tamarackwildlife.org.
