Two more eagles in care, one with trace lead...which means it recovered from a small amount of lead...the other has a hopefully treatable amount. As mentioned in the article, the testing equipment, trained staff, and special medications mean extra expenses. If you can help please go to our website www. sandypineswildlife.org and follow the donate now icon. http://www.napaneebeaver.ca//spwc-vet-tech-sees-rising-tr/

Hey Everyone . We have a Canada Goose in Lyn (near Brockville), who has an injured leg and needs to get into Sandy Pines as soon as possible. If you or someone you know can help, please call 613-354-0264. Thank you!!

Look at our young Virginia Opossum's working hard! We love the way they gather straw in their tails and pack their den with it! Don't forget to bring us your leaves when you rake them! We prefer to use leaves as their bedding, since it is more natural, but straw will do in a pinch! Leaves need to be clean (no litter or pet poop), dry (so they don't go mouldy) and ideally in paper bags (they stay dry and can breath a little in paper) We store the leaves all winter and use them for several months in the spring. Thank you for your support!

Looking for a ride for an injured gull from Walmart @ Cobourg to Sandy Pines. If someone is able to help this fellow get to us, please call the office @613-354-0264

Amazing job Faith and Lincoln!! Together they sold lemonade at their stand and raised $500! What a great job. The animals, staff and volunteers shout out a big heartfelt thank you to these two amazing young people

It isn't Christmas yet, but this little bird was very happy to arrive at SPWC today! Starving and unable to use his legs properly on arrival, he was still fiesty and full of attitude!! Can you guess what type of bird he is? We rarely see these birds at Sandy Pines so he is a real treat to care for. If you would like to help us care for injured wildlife consider a donation today https://sandypineswildlife.org/?page_id=826 we really need bleach and paper towels right now!
