2 February 2012 2011 turned out to be a financial bust for AWRE.
We keep saving lives but have dug ourselves into a hole which is going
to be difficult to climb out of. This is definitely the biggest
problem of being a licensed rehabber, that is being financially responsible for everything pertaining to the rescue, diagnosis,
treatment feeding and release of injured wildlife. No big deal if
you only treat a handful of critters but with the over 1,800 animals
which AWRE was responsible for in 2011, with very few donations, money
becomes a major hurdle for us it we want to continue with our mission. After
chasing after and hoping for a deep-pocket benefactor or a friendly
corporate sponsor for
almost 30 years, it may just be time to throw in the towel and realize
it "ain't going to happen" and I
just can't afford to do this anymore. But that would be if I had
a lick of sense but with that being said, I'll take this rescue call and see if I can
help this caller with an injured bird.
Here's AWRE's patient data report for 2011

14 December 2011 Once again I am getting a head start with AWRE's
end of the year business reports and have the sad state of AWRE's
business starring me at me eye-to-eye. With these kinds of losses,
anyone with a lick of sense would close up shop and run. But then
we were talking about someone having a lick of sense. Face it,
AWRE is a business like no other. We do not sell any products, we
have no membership fee or dues and we offer all of our services free of
all charges and fees. AWRE is in the business of saving lives of our
injured wildlife. Period. No salaries either. Everyone volunteers
their time, effort, hard work and it's heart breaking at times, too, for
the sole purpose of healing our injured wildlife and returning it to its
natural home and environment. We've been at it since 1990 too.
Tell me any other business that has been around that long and has had
"total fiscal failures" each and every year after year after year.
We've done so much with so little for so long everyone thinks we can do
anything with nothing and you know we can. That's why we are still
here.
But do good intentions and excellent life saving results justify
suffering major financial losses continually year after year? As
usual this topic will be finished some time after I return from
answering this rescue call.
Please be kind and please make good use of AWRE's donation button above.
Thank you.
2 December 2011
Believe it or not, I have the November Patient Data report ready to
publish
14 November 2011
I'll take this opportunity to
publish last month's patient data report. As yOu can ell AWRE has
been very busy while yielding great results. I am so proud of the
AWRE team and their unending dedication and efforts put forth to aid our
injured wildlife.
31 October 2011 HAPPY HALLOWEEN The end of October
and I'm finally publishing Septembers patient data report. Yes,
It's been very busy but here's our report
3 August 2011 July proved to be another busy month. We
treated 104 critters of 28 different species and were able to release
50% of them. I have to admit our high success rate has been due to
Aile's efforts. She continually impresses me with her dedication
to our injured wildlife and her eagerness to learn. Thank you,
Aile, your hard work has not gone unnoticed, especially by those whose
lives you have saved. Thank you.
Anyway here's AWRE's patient data report through the end of July.
Filed and published within a week of the end of the month, will wonders
ever cease?
27 July 2011 We did receive an unusual patient last month. A Sugar
Glider, cutest little critter you'll ever see, sure wish its attitude
was the same. The finder found this adorable patient in his cat's
mouth in Signal Hill. This is a sad part about having an illegal
pet, yes, Sugar Gliders are illegal in California, think about it, if
one has an illegal pet and this pet escapes or wanders off, does one
feel it is a good idea to put up posters and ads proclaiming one's
illegal activity. I personally would feel a bit uncomfortable if I
was in this situation. One would also have to consider what one
would do if the illegal pet gets sick or injured. Would it be
worth the risk to take it to a vet or other medical facility?
The fines are petty stiff and jail time could go along with the fine as
well.
There's a good reason certain animals are illegal so please, no
matter how cute they look, please refrain from having illegal pets.
Yes, we were able to place this cute monster with a licensed, legal
facility and it will live a happy, healthy life. Yep, she's legal
now, has her green card, so to speak. Another happy ending for a
lost, illegal critter
Finally have time to publish June patient data report. As usual,
July was a busy month, 176 critters of 46 different species and we were
able to release 104 of them. That's an astounding 60%. Needless to
say, I'm very proud of our crew.
4 June 2011 Just finished our patient data report and
figured I had better get it published while I can. The month of
May turned out to be another busy month in baby season. AWRE
treated 144 critters of 52 different species and released 62% of them..
At least we all know why Aile is so tired these days. Great job
Aile. You make us all very proud to be associated with you.
Thank you
6 May 2011 April turned out to be a usual busy month for us.
AWRE treated 112 critters of 28 species and we were able to release 67%
of them. No wonder we are all so tired. Here's our latest
patient data report
3 May 2011 From the number of calls we've been receiving on the
subject of wildlife making homes in unwanted places, I guess it's time
to recycle these articles on the subject
Tips for Dealing with Wildlife

Skunk Spray Odor Remover
If you find yourself on the wrong end of a Skunk, this
sure-fired, odor remover is recommended by AWRE to remove the
odor. This recipe is cheap, easy to make and all the
ingredients are easily and readily available.
1 quart 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 teaspoon Dawn® liquid dish soap
Mix all three ingredients in open container. Apply
liberally and wait 5 - 10 minutes. Rinse with water. Then
shampoo and rinse as usual.
DO NOT GET THIS
SOLUTION INTO THE EYES!!!
HELP!! THERE'S A CRITTER IN MY ATTIC!
I am frequently asked the
question, "There's a critter in my
attic/basement/shed/outbuilding, etc. that is a nuisance and I
want it out of there but I don't want to harm the critter. Do
you have any suggestions?"
Naturally, I do have some
suggestions.
First, you need to determine how the animal is getting in and
out of the site you want it to leave and find any and all trails
it uses to gain access to its new home (your house).
Once this is determined,
you need to figure out what you need to close up the entrances
used and have all the necessary tools and building supplies on
hand BEFORE YOU START the eviction process.
Now, you are ready to begin
to make your critter repellant. This is simple, cheap to make,
all items are easily purchased and most important, it is very
effective and works with opossums, squirrels, raccoons, skunks
and feral cats, too. Here's the list of ingredients:
Wildlife Repellant
8 ounces of lemon
scented dishwashing soap (any brand but it MUST be lemon
scented and the liquid does dissolve easier)
8 ounces Castor Oil can be purchased over the counter at
most drug stores
1 gallon of water
Mix these three items
together in a clean container and then place this mixture in a
clean spray bottle.
You will also need a bright
light and a portable stereo system/radio on hand before you
start the eviction process.
Realize the animal has
chosen this area to nest because it is seeking a nice dark,
quiet place to snooze and raise a family. You are now equipped
to change that area from the nice, quiet, dark area to a loud,
brightly lit environment which is no longer what the critter
deems to be a suitable place for it to live.
You are now ready to start
the eviction process.
Waiting until an hour or so
before dusk, get ready to set up your lights and sound system.
WARNING!!!
When using the lights, be sure to be
FIRE SAFE.
Lights can generate enough heat that if
improperly placed,
WILL start a fire.
BE FIRE SAFE WITH YOUR LIGHTS.
Place your lights in a
manner where they light up the nesting area and make that area
as bright as possible. ALWAYS keep FIRE SAFETY on your mind.
Place your portable
stereo system in the general area and kick up the volume as loud
as your neighbors can tolerate and let it play. One can get
into a long and deep philosophical discussion as to which music
to play to offend the critter but use the tunes of your choice.
With the lights and
music going, lightly spray the vicinity around the nest and
leave. Allow the critter time to re-locate itself and time to
get its babies and take them to their new home. Remember,
depending on the species, the parent may have to make several
trips to get every baby to their new home.
Once the animal has
removed all of its babies and itself and your are 110% positive
the area is completely vacated, thoroughly spray the area with
the repellant and seal up the entrances the critter uses with
the tools and building materials you gathered before the
eviction process.
Also spray all trails
the animal used to gain access. Once this is done, try spraying
the perimeter of your property, similar to the way the animals
mark their territory, with the repellant. |

HELP!! SWALLOWS ARE NESTING ON MY HOME
Living in Southern California, here's another
problem we are frequently asked about.
The Swallows nest by sticking mud to the surface
of a building and build there nest in this manner. Many property
owners feel this is destructive to their property and want them
removed.
AWRE will not remove nests but we can tell you
how to prepare your property so the Swallows will build
elsewhere.
Very simple, just spray the areas you do not
want them to build (this works with wasps as well and any other
species that builds nests in a similar fashion) with a baking
release spray (I use the brand called "PAM") available in your
local grocery store. Once this spray is applied, the mud will
not stick and they go and find another place to call home.
Couldn't be easier. |

28 April 2011 We received a phone call yesterday concerning a
pair of Great Blue Heron chicks
whose parents had chosen to build their nest and raise a family on top
of an antennae which is a part of our satellite system.
The company was making sure a proper foster parent is available in case
the babies start a signal interruption and have to be removed.
These are the photographs they sent. This is going to be fun.
Have to admit, it is such a pleasure to deal with such an
environmentally conscious company.
22 April 2011 Once again, it's that time of year we call "baby
season" and I think it's time to bring Razzberry's story back for
everyone's education concerning baby critters.
Razzberry the Raccoon
|
|
Allow me to
introduce myself, Razzberry is the name. Yes, Razzberry, with
the accent on the z. Razzberry Raccoon, the one and only.
As you have probably figured out, I'm a raccoon and a young one
at that. Being so young, I don't know how to write, so I'm
dictating my story to my friends at
AWRE.
I was out with my
family early one morning on dawn patrol, when we came across a
trashcan full of wonderful treats and an even more fascinating
place to explore. After eating my fill and examining almost all
of the cans, crevices, wrappers, and what have you, I became
very sleepy. Such a wonderful place had to be a safe place for a
quick nap.
To make a long
story short, I fell sound asleep, as most young raccoons will,
and did not notice when my mom and family left. I was so sound
asleep from my adventurous evening I did not notice when humans
found me curled up in a little fur ball, snoozing away. I didn't
even wake up when they placed me in a warm box lined with
towels; quite a step up from a trash can, I must say. Actually,
if they would have just left me alone, my mom would have come
back for me within 24 hours.
These nice people
fell in love with me. How could they help it? I'm a raccoon. I'm
cute, adorable and so intelligent. They cradled me in their arms
and bottle fed me. They gave me so much love and human contact,
I forgot I was a raccoon and became what is called "imprinted."
I quickly learned humans are my friends, my source of food,
treats and companionship. I was no longer a wild raccoon, but on
my way to becoming a house pet. |
|
Being a
raccoon, by nature I'm cute, adorable, intelligent and very
determined. All of which is topped off with a streak of
stubbornness. I'm a raccoon and I will have things my way.
In time, the nice people who took me in, got tired of my
inquisitive ways. Raccoons love to touch everything they can
find and since I'm a raccoon that's what I did. Top that off
with a stubborn streak that doesn't understand the word "NO"
and you have a conflict afoot. Of course, I'll always win!!
To sum up the situation, I think the conflict over my
touching everything outweighed my overwhelming cuteness. I
found myself becoming unwelcome in my new home. But I was
too imprinted to be kicked out into the wild.
At this
point, I thought if I got hungry, I could just get a human
to feed me. They're so easy to train after all. I've learned
recently, however, that in the real world, humans are not
the nicest of creatures and it would be best for me to stay
away from them. If I approached one for food, it probably
wouldn't understand what I was saying. I could end up
injured, dead, or worse, stuffed in a cage and neglected.
Realizing this, the people who gave me a home started
searching for someone who was qualified; that had the proper
state and federal licensing and a proper facility to house
me. Someone that could teach me to be a wild raccoon again.
This would be no easy task. After many phone calls,
referrals and many disappointments, contact was made with
All Wildlife Rescue
and Education, Inc.
After AWRE
passed the phone interrogation, my family wanted to make
sure I would be treated with love, proper care, respect and
that I would be safe, I was taken to my new home with AWRE.
On arrival, I was given a thorough examination and was found
to be healthy, although I was a little dehydrated. This was
no problem to fix; some fluids were given and I got some
"proper" food. It was good to have a full tummy. I don't
know what my previous family had been feeding me but it sure
wasn't good for raccoons.
Dave, at
AWRE, spent many hours researching all about me and learned
how to make me, and other imprinted like me, wild again. I
think AWRE, through grants and donations, would like to
build a facility just for this purpose. |
|
Dave managed
to find a home for me with a wonderful educational facility
where I would receive the best care, the best food and the
best medical attention. I would still be stuck in a cage
though. I don't care how nice the cage is though, there's
still only so many things to touch. Being a bright, young
and intelligent raccoon, life in a cage would be so boring.
Dave, and my other friend from AWRE Kim, knew I belonged in
the wild with other raccoons. So they continued their search
for someone they trusted and had the time and experience to
make me wild. I would be a real raccoon again.
My one night
at AWRE with Dave and Kim, turned into twelve. Each day I
found new ways to cause havoc. There were just so many neat
places to explore and curl up for naps in. It's a good thing
for me I'm so cute. I quickly regained my proper weight and
energy. Dave and Kim finally found a new home for me. It
was a long way away, but Dave and Kim knew it was best for
me. They care that much about all of AWRE's patients. My new
home came highly recommended by authorities on raccoons. It
has trees and bushes and other raccoons my age. I have a
long road ahead of me to "learn" how to become a wild
raccoon again, but in three to five months I'll be wild
again and ready to rejoin other raccoons. Still I can't help
but think I would have been better off, if people would just
let sleeping raccoons lie. |
8 April 2011 I finally caught up with getting our patient data
reports up to date and figure I better take this opportunity to get them
published so you all can see what has been keeping us so busy. We
did receive 3 Grey Fox orphan kits. Quite unusual for Long Beach,
California
6 April 2011 Once again AWRE was considering closing our doors
due to the lack of funds but just at our darkest hour, THUMS Long Beach,
Oxy, Inc comes to our rescue with a generous donation. A donation
which will enable us to continue with our ministry to our injured
wildlife.
So the next time you call AWRE, we will be here to answer your call for
help due to the kindness and generosity of THUMS Long Beach, Oxy, Inc.
Yes, we are so very thankful for them to enable us to continue.
Thank you.
9 February 2011 Here is AWRE's first patient data report for
2011. The unusually inclement weather is the reason behind our low
numbers. If it's not nice outside, people do not venture forth to
find injured wildlife.
26 January 2011 While closing out AWRE's books for 2010, it has
become evident if not just plain scary as to how much it costs AWRE to
provide our services to you, our communities and most importantly, our
injured wildlife. Please help us to continue with our mission and
please use the DONATION button above to help make sure AWRE will be here
whenever you need our help.
13 January 2010 Happy New to everyone although it is a bit
belated. In the process of completing our patient data report for
2010 and our total number of animals treated reached 1634 of 144
different species. I guess this answers the question if our
communities need our services.
