I couldn't just leave this baby there to become food for area stray cats looking for a quick snack so I ran into my house for a small box and some paper towels so that I could vet him safely into the box; once he was secure i googled "wild bird" rescue in NW, DC which is how I'd found these kind folks. When I arrived I was promptly greeted and given a short form to complete and I asked the lady if I could check on the baby bird later and i was given a caed with the birds code which I could reference when I called back.

They also sent me a mailed letter thanking me for a donation I’d made - complete with a handwritten note about...

They asked me to send in a photo of the turtle and then promptly informed me that it was a “she” and that she was a box turtle and that she was ok where she was. The second time was for helping rescue a baby squirrel I found laying next to his dead mama. It was very sad. So I called them and they came and picked the sweet baby up. A great...
