wildlife education,
rescue and
rehabilitation operating out of South Carolina.
PAWS NEWS!
We
took in 261 animals for care in 2008! Go to our
rehabilitation pictures page
to see the break down of the various species plus photos of
some of the animals. The babies are already coming
in this year! Since so few animals come to us with
a donation, we are in desperate need of donations from
others. Economic times are hard for everyone right now, but if you can spare
even a small amount, we'd be grateful.
Wild animals taken in for rehabilitation in 2009:
Hawks: 2
Vultures: 2
Owls: 3
Squirrels: 24
Raccoons: 1
Opossums: 75
Ducks: 6
Rabbits: 6
Turtle: 2
Deer: 7
Total as of
May 10, 2009:
129
We had a very generous supporter donate a video camera.
Rehabilitating wildlife cannot be around other humans or it can
negatively impact their rehabilitation and their ability to be
successfully released. This means people haven't been able to
see some of our special moments here with rehab animals.....until
now! Please take a look at our recent deer and squirrel
release videos plus other videos of the deer after release. YouTube Link
We have set up a Facebook cause for Paws.
Please check out our Facebook Cause page and tell your Facebook
friends! Become a fan! We plan to post updates fairly
often on that site. We are still learning Facebook so we welcome
your ideas and suggestions. Facebook Link
Help support our work by buying wildlife gifts for yourself or
friends at our CafePress page! We have a limited number of
items that we are allowed to display at any time (with the free
membership). However, we don't mind setting up an item just
for you to order. So take a look at what we have, but if you
are interested in something we don't have set up just now, please
email us and we'll do our very best to create what you want.
Feel free to ask and make suggestions! CafePress

We have taken some photographs and have
set them up to be purchased from ImageKind. Paws will receive
a portion of the proceeds from the sale. You can choose your own
size, frames, and matting. If you happen to live near
Laurens, SC, you can stop in The Village Cup (coffee shop) and
purchase already framed photographs there. The photographs are
on display in the back of the shop on the side wall to the right of
the fireplace. The price for the pre-framed photographs at the
Village Cup is $65. (Grab lunch while you are there....you won't be
disappointed!)

If you shop on-line, please sign up with igive.
igive is an on-line organization that allows you to shop at any of
700+ on-line stores and have a % of your purchase price go to Paws.
The prices are NOT inflated in order for this to work. This is just
you doing the normal shopping you would do at on-line stores
(including sale and clearance prices)......only now Paws gets a
donation out of it! The only catch is that you need to sign into
the igive site first and THEN select the store you want to shop
from. They even have a search engine that donates money for each
search you do. Anyone anywhere can help Paws simply by searching
the internet and doing their normal on-line shopping! igive Shoppingigive
