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.

Haven receives grant award from the
IF YOU FIND A SPRING BUNNEY OR FAWN READ BELOW FIRST.
BUNNIES Leave the area slightly tall, and put a wheel barrel over it so the mother can scoot under it but dogs and others cannot get to it. If you put your hand in the nest and the babies are wiggly and warm she has been there. Remember rabbits are "Prey Animals" therefore they are very nervous and will not come back as long as you are around.
CATS FAWNS It is the season for fawns. Mother deer leave their babies for many hours while they go off and eat. Do to the encroaching of people on all aspects they can leave babies almost anywhere. (like front yards, gardens, driveways etc) Unless you have seen the mother get killed or there is a dead body leave them alone. Mother will not be back until after (9pm at night). Also the longer you stay, hang around or watch the longer it will be before she comes back. If after all of this, it really is orphaned YES, WE WILL HELP YOU. CALL "HOO" 629-2212 AND LEAVE YOUR NAME, NUMBER AND BRIEF.... TWO LINE MESSAGE Thank you for your help in this to keep mother and babies together.

 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
