In Memory of Poppy
Thank you to Randy and Patricia Rushing for sponsoring a day at the Wildlife Medical Clinic. They chose to sponsor November 27th in honor of their beloved golden retriever Poppy. Poppy joined their family as a senior boy . He was a kindhearted, old soul who played joyfully, enjoyed snoozing on his favorite couch, and rounded out their little family perfectly. They celebrate his life every year, a miss him greatly.
This gift will help injured, sick, and orphaned wild animals, such as these young opossums, rabbits, and owls.
