"Tiny ring tailed possum"

I run the Bridgewater Adelaide Hills Walking Group. On Sunday the 8 Sep 2024 one of our walkers found a baby (neonate) ring tailed possum lying on the ground, cold and hardly moving or breathing. The baby was placed in a warm glove. It eventually warmed up and could be felt moving in the glove. I contacted the Wildlife Foundation and after discussion and me sending pictures through it was discussed that the best option was to contact a vet, as it looked like the tiny little possum would in reality not be able to be saved. I contacted the vet and the tiny little thing was left in her caring hands. I would like to thank Denise for her help on the phone and the vet Lucie at the Mt Barker Veterinary Clinic for her kindness.
Kind regards, Adele

"Great job, Thank you."

Happened upon an injured kangaroo on my daily commute,
Did not have time to stop and help, The least I could do was call SOWF, They answered my call quickly, asked relevant questions, and were polite and helpful.
Well done, and thank you volunteers.

"Our phone call was answered straight…"

Our phone call was answered straight away although it was extremely early in the morning and we found the advice extremely helpful, such a great service!

"AMAZING ORGANISATION ♥️"

I couldn't be happier with the advice I received from SOWFI. My call was answered right away even though it was a Sunday. For a little while now I've had a Magpie visit me and at first I noticed that his top beak was broken by about a third. Two days later I then saw the bottom half had broken too. His leg also had a large lump above his foot and the leg was swollen. I've been putting some of my dog's meat roll (laced with Wombaroo) out for him and he/she seems to like that. The lovely person who answered the phone put me onto a lady who was more knowledgeable with birds and she was able to advise me that the poor thing needs to be caught and taken to a Vet. I would have done this already but I can't get close enough to him. Anyway she gave me some great advice on how to carefully catch him so I'm trying that over the next few days - wish me luck 🤞. Pretty sure (and the volunteer thought this) that without supplemental feeding he won't survive so hopefully I can get him to a Vet for treatment and help by a bird carer or, if necessary, euthanasia 😥. Hopefully it won't come to this but it's certainly better than leaving him to suffer. Thank you SOWFI volunteers - Angels all of you ♥️.

"Amazing people!!"

Amazing people!!! The volunteers were excelent, they answered my call straight away and were so willing to help the injured animal I was calling about.
They arrived to the location to inspect the animal on the same day. I was truly amazed at the level of care and professionalism they showed. Thank you so much for all the help and the wonderful work you all do.

"Fabulous service"

Fabulous service, well organised.
Thank you for looking out for these precious little beings.

"Limping Swamp Hen at the Billabong"

- A person answered the phone! (a lovely volunteer) 😃
- While unable to send any vol rescuers to help me catch the limping Swamp Hen at the Billabong, I was reassured about having a go myself..with an old blanket I keep in the boot of my car & a friend helping to coral the bird).
- Somehow I hadn't heard of Save Our Wildlife Foundation Inc before today (thank you to the Vet or Vet Nurse at Trinity Gardens Emergency Veterinary for telling me).
- Thank you all at SOWFY !! Next time I find a sick or injured wild animal I will call you again.
Regards, Marg

"Baby possum reunited with mother"

I found a baby possum on the lawn and rang your organisation, on advice I took the possum to the vet for a check and they then organised a wildlife carer. Tonight 4 carers came to my house and managed to reunite the baby possum with its mother. An absolutely awesome outcome. Thank you to your carers who donate their time and care.
