Fawn
Awe were shocked to get a call about a fawn today. This fawn came in today after falling into a creek. We must reunite this small one as quickly as possible. Plans are to bed him down in a large crate near the rescue site keeping him dry until mom returns. Let’s hope this works! This baby needs mom and the herd to survive this late in the season.
