OUR
“Hoo” Haven is dedicated to rehabilitating and
releasing, sick, injured and orphaned, North American Wildlife. And
to educating individuals to the importance of the conservation of
Mother Earth, to maintain the land, clean and beautiful for all.
A quick
review of what “Hoo” Haven is ALL ABOUT for those who may be reading
this for the first time.
“Hoo” is a facility, where North American Animals and birds are
brought, when they are orphaned or injured. They are given
individual treatment to get them back to health and then put back in
the wild where they belong.
We have a small ICU, where
nebulizer treatments, Oxygen, IVs. Steroids etc are given to
stabilize them. When all is well they are put on their
individual diets and any medicines needed to complete their
recovery. Broken bones are
immobilized
before transport to our vet.
We are open to the public by appointment ONLY. We are mainly a hospital and
step down unit, for the animal and birds to receive their care
before release. However, if you would like to do a
project, donate or help in some way a private tour may be arranged
for you.

If you are wanting "Hoo" Haven to do one of our HAWK and OWL AMBASSADOR PROGRAMS, now is the time to be calling. We are taking reservations 8 weeks out. If you are interested in Ruffles our Bald Eagle also call and check it out. We are very pleased our programs with live birds of prey and more have been so successful. We love what we do and educating opens doors for all to help. We now are offering Tours by Appointments. These tours are Educational and Informational. the cost is $10.00 for anyone. Please remember however we are not a petting Zoo, children must be at least 8 years old. The maximum group at a time is eight (8). Anyone who comes on the tour can feel good that all monies go to the care, feeding and expenses of the animals. So call now, for your program. 815-629-2212 Karen

Now everyone can help. Take your aluminum cans to the following Behr Recycling stations in Beloit, Machesney Park, Freeport, and Rockford and say these cans are for "Hoo" and they will see to it that "Hoo" Haven receives the cash. We are so excited that Behr wants to help "Hoo" and would like to say thank you. So everyone get your cans and tell everyone else and collect for "Hoo". 1100 Seminary Street, Rockford Karen UP COMING PROGRAMS  PICK UPS AND VOLUNTEERS
"Hoo" Haven does very few pick ups any
more let us explain.
Between the number of mammals and birds
we do, treatments, feeding, cleaning and running "Hoo"
Haven fit in-between, before and after our full time jobs
and all of our volunteers full time jobs. It is not
feasible.
We do have volunteers to the west who
pick up birds of prey and animals for Hoo and transport
them. They are called Transport Volunteers We would be
glad to teach individuals how to do this if anyone is
interested.
At "Hoo" there are all different kinds of
volunteers because we are solely run by volunteers and
supported by the generous donations of the People, Who
Believe In What We Are Doing.
Please do not punish an animal or bird
and do nothing because we do not pick up. We will walk you
thru it and you will feel good at the end. No one person or
facility can do it all. If we all work together we can make
Rockford and all Mother Earth a better place to live for all
future generations. It is not everyone else's job, it is
everyone's job to help.
It truly saddens me when individuals get
angry on the phone.
Thank you
