Hooray for Willow!
Little Willow is doing so so well, we just had to share another update with you guys. Her guardians report that training is going very well, her hair is growing in nicely, and she is still gaining weight!
Willow was awarded the Courage Award from the BCSPCA!
Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!

Nancy’s Dentist Adventure
Do turtles get toothaches? Not like you would expect! All turtles and tortoises grow beaks, and they do need their beaks trimmed! Their beaks normally get worn down in the wild on roughage. The roughage they get in captivity often isn’t tough enough to wear it down.

Injured Baby Squirrel and Feeding a Tortoise
This poor juvenile squirrel was hit by a car, and we are helping him out with some painkillers. We are also caring for a Red Footed Tortoise!
