Thank you to Randy and Patricia Rushing for sponsoring a day at the Wildlife Medical Clinic. They chose to sponsor July 21st, in honor of Isabella, their beautiful golden retriever. The Rushings chose this day to remember Isabella as it is the anniversary of her passing into the spiritual realm. Isabella, your parents love and miss you!
This gift will help injured, sick and orphaned wild animals, such as these orphaned bunnies and muskrats. It will provide numerous educational opportunities for veterinary students.

As the weather warms up, you may encounter a surprising native resident of Illinois: snakes! Illinois is home to over 30 species of snakes, most of which are harmless to humans but essential to the health of their natural habitats. Eleven of these species (as of 2015) are endangered or threatened in Illinois due to habitat loss and the illegal pet trade. Often living near meadows and swamps, some snakes can swim or even climb trees!
