Wildlife Sanctuary seeks food, supplies donations

The end of the year is here….time to clean out your freezers! The cold winter weather has made life difficult for our wildlife. The Wildlife Sanctuary’s hospital is full of injured seabirds, birds of prey and various mammals. The Sanctuary is asking for your help in bringing in donations of fish, red meat, chicken, pine straw and laundry soap that is needed for our extra patients.

The Sanctuary accepts fresh, frozen, whole or filleted fish, as well as any red meats and other supplies seven days a week from 8am to 5pm, located at 105 North “S” Street near the old Gulf Power building. Make your New Year’s resolution to help area wildlife and drop a donation of supplies by today.

The Wildlife Sanctuary is a non-profit 501c3 organization taking in over 3000 injured and orphaned animals a year. All are given a thorough exam, fed foods most resembling their natural wild diet and are monitored to insure adjustment to temporary captivity. Release back into the wild is always our primary goal. All donations are appreciated. A wish list is available on our website www.pensacolawildlife.com (or see below). For more information call 850-433-9453 Ext 5.
