Always in awe of the work Wild At Heart Wildlife Sanctuary does for wildlife. Cases like this Bald Eagle remind us how much time, skill, and heart goes into saving these animals. Lead poisoning is sadly common in Eagles and the treatment needed to save them is intensive and expensive.

If you’re able, please consider donating through their PayPal link to help cover the cost of lifesaving care like chelation therapy so this eagle and many more can get a second chance. 🦅
Every contribution truly makes a difference.Thank you to everyone at Wild At Heart Wildlife Sanctuary for never giving up on these animals. 🙏

This Bald Eagle 🦅could use your help. For some reason the donate button on FB posts isn't available so here's our PayPal link. You don't need to have a PayPal to use it. You can also donate directly on our FB home page.

This is eagle 3 out of 4 in last 30 days. He came in from the Newport area. His blood test revealed he had lead poisoning too high for the lead test machine to read. In most cases, this is a death sentence. We had to get xrays to make sure the lead had passed through his system, it had. Then we started chelation treatment, the process to remove the lead. Tonight we rechecked his bloodwork, and we are down to a readable level (16.5 ug/dL). He started a second round of chelation tonight, this should clear his system once complete. Chelation medication is expensive and having to treat this bird twice took out our supply. If you are able to help us replace this life saving medicine, future wildlife patients would be very thankful. We are also in need of deer meat if you can make a donation of deer. We are always asked how they get lead poisoning, its from hunting with lead shot. Please make the switch to nonlead ammo. If you hunt with lead you are most likely eating lead too. Shout out to Carolina Rehabilitators of Wildlife Inc. for picking up this bird and transporting him.

Big thanks and praises to Predator or Prey Wildlife Sanctuary for the successful rehabilitation and for allowing us to be part of the release of this young vulture. This species is very close to our hearts and we are extremely happy to see this little one have a second chance at life. He had a nice big stretch and took flight immediately after this video ended 😂

Early this morning we got a call about this Barred Owl who was hit by car. We immediately took him to a trusted veterinarian for evaluation and luckily found no obvious fractures or other internal injury. This guy is currently being transferred to one of our amazing wildlife rehabilitators for further care and will hopefully make a full recovery!

Just a reminder! Fledglings (life stage)are still out and about and just because they do not have full flight does not mean they are abandoned or injured. If in doubt please give us or other licensed wildlife rehabbers in your area a call! This little Northern Mockingbird was taken in due to fluttering his way into a pool and has been taken to one of our amazing rehabilitators for further treatment and care. Big thanks to Cathy Predator or Prey Wildlife Sanctuary

We got more babies! These little opossums came to us last night after being found by one of our members after their mom was hit by a car. Unfortunately mom and two other siblings had passed before their rescuer happened upon them. Please keep an eye out for these little guys at night. They do not know to look both ways before they cross the road!

We got a call about this Virginia Opossum who was attacked by a cat. Come to find out the poor little guy has multiple punctures around his neck and back while also being infested with maggots! We took him straight to an amazing veterinarian performing a clip and clean,flushed out the maggots and is now started on proper medications. This guy has a long road ahead but we are hopeful for a full recovery! 💛
