Wildlife In Crisis — Attraction in Weston

My first encounter with Dara and Wildlife in Crisis was about two years ago when I found an injured bunny in my yard. I discovered Wildlife in Crisis and went there the next morning. Dara met me at the infirmary, swiftly took the bunny into her hands, still wrapped in a little blanket, and proceeded to examine it. She noted that the broken leg, although fractured, would not need surgery, but a cast. Dara and her team corrected the fracture, nursed the bunny back to health, and found a safe place to release it. While I was there, I noticed how expansive the Center is and the diversity of the many animals they house and care for there. The knowledge, compassion, and lifelong dedication of Dara, and the volunteers who help her run Wildlife in Crisis, are astounding. They are all gifts to our wildlife and communities. Tomorrow morning will be my next in person encounter. I came across a bird who was sitting at the electric doors of a store as I exited. I believe it was fate. As I walked out this little bird looked directly at me as if it knew I would help. I asked for a box from the store, collected this sweet little thing, and tucked it safely away for the night. It is a relief to know exactly where to go with this beautiful creature. If you’re reading this, please consider making a donation to this remarkable volunteer organization. Dara and her team of volunteers give so much of themselves to our community and its vulnerable wildlife population. Let’s always make sure to show our unwavering support and gratitude by giving...

What a blessing! I was walking my 2 dogs. As most dogs, whenever they see/smell something small + furry, their curiosity is piqued. Today they both ran over to shrubbery + began sniffing feverishly. They didn't bark, growl or show any aggression. I went over to see what was so fascinating - it was a black squirrel who couldn't move.

I knew this critter was terrified + needed help. I brought the dogs home + drove over to where we'd seen him/her. Still there in the very same position, I picked up the fur baby, bundled it up + called my vet. While the vet couldn't help this animal species, they suggested I go directly to the WILDLIFE IN CRISIS location in Weston, CT.

Frankly, I wasn't sure this tiny animal would survive the drive over. By the Grace of G-d, my newest little friend did! I was greeted by Willow (daughter of the WIC founder) before I even parked the car. She took my precious baby very gently + went inside immediately for an initial assessment. Shortly she came back out to tell me that the squirrel will need some time at their facility. She was quite certain it would survive, be rehabilitated + released back into one of the nature preserves.

I've never been so elated while at an animal related facility! I've yet to tell the doggos that they were crucial in saving a life! I cannot accurately describe how thrilled I am to now know of WIC. This is a non-profit group + they survive on donations. I'm putting my donation in the mail tomorrow!

PLEASE...

Peter returned my phone call on a late Saturday morning and told me the place was open til 5pm so i could bring in my injured Mockingbird found on a roadside. A polite youung woman met me at a small garage-like structure as I reached the top of the long drive to the building. A shared wisdom for others is to drive up the long hilly drive by the #44 mailbox. The young woman told me they would take care of the Mockingbird, which she believed had an injured wing and eye, probably from a car, and would then release it in their wooded surroundings. I wish I would have inquired more to how they would treat the bird, but I'm so glad they were there for us. Directions wise, put in the 44 Indian Valley address on Google Maps rather than Wildlife in Crisis, because you will get left at Kramer Rd if you put...
