     This little one is on my back porch where he is in hibernation till spring, I will be releasing him then. Also i rehabbed 3 other squirrels from Rescue Me! which are all doing fine on their own, I see them every morning & evening. They were babies when I got them, and have blended in nicely with others. I miss them being home, but they are wild.

     Jeff (Rescue Me), The results of my experience with Rescue Me are as follows: Within a few hours of posting the news of finding an injured raccoon on my property, I received an email from an individual who normally only rescues muted swans but wanted to know if I had found a home for the raccoon. I responded that I had not and this individual told me that they knew of several wildlife rescuers that would take the raccoon in to try and rescue it. Within a couple of days this individual came and picked up the raccoon and took it to one of the raccoon rescuers' home where it had space for it in a warm barn. I received several responses to my post and ended up acting on the first one. So glad to know that there are several people out there that want to help make a difference for these injured wild animals. Rescue Me really came through for me as I did not know what to do with the raccoon - especially because I had just recently moved to Michigan. Thanks again for this service! Sincerely, Wayne S.

     Dear Jeff and the RescueMe organization - Thank you for making this website and this service available. It's amazing how quickly I was able to find a local person to rescue these little baby squirrels. Last night 4 squirrels left their nest in search of food, falling 30 feet from the tree onto grass. I called the animal humane society, which referred me to another list of volunteer rescuers. The one rescuer that takes in squirrels had to turn me away as she had 30 baby squirrels she was already caring for. She gave me two options: 1) care for them myself or 2) take them to be put to sleep. Neither was really an option for me, so I took to the internet and found rescueme.org. Within minutes I had my posting up with picture and all. That was at 9 p.m. last night. This morning I had a rescuer email me and by 10 a.m. the little baby squirrels had a new home. Thank you again, Martin

     Hi Jeff, I just had to drop you a line to tell you our success story. 2 months ago a small orphaned raccoon was brought to me because I had successfully hand raised a newborn after his mother was hit by a car. The little raccoon from that had been brought to me was old enough to know he was a wild raccoon. His mother had done a wonderful job teaching him a lot of what he needed to know the problem was the little guy was way to young to carry it out by himself. He came to me so starved, he was just skin and bones. I knew that wasn't all he had been through as he was missing half his tail which had already completely healed. I took him in hopes of getting him strong and healthy and finding help to help him live as a wild raccoon as he was meant to be. I got on the internet, I made phone calls, I sent emails. Weeks went by and the little guy began to eat, put on weight and grow stronger. But he was so lonely and missed his family. It just broke my heart. Two nights ago when I could not sleep I came across your web site while looking for help for him. I posted an ad for help at 3 am and by 6 am had received to emails with phone numbers. After several phones calls I was driving my little wild raccoon kit to a highly recommended rehab place, Call FREE AGAIN WILDLIFE just a couple of hours away from where I live. They have several raccoons. When I arrived that little fellow perked right up and was looking as if he were saying 'Hey, Hey look! they look just like me, Is this where my family has been!!!' It was truly heart warming to see some much enthusiasm from such a disappointed little guy. After the tour and seeing him so excited I knew he was in the right place. So, THANK YOU! Thank you for all you do to keep this web site up and going so successfully. I would have never believed it unless I experienced it for myself. You've done something wonderful here! Keep up the good work!!! Oh! by the way, my donation to help make sure you can is on it's way....

     Rescue Me has allowed three baby squirrels to go to an experienced rehabilitator! We discovered a group of young squirrels, starving and dehydrated. Their mom was hit by a car. Luckily we found RescueMe.Org! I created a post, and soon received emails and phone calls from all who could offer help. Finally, we choose a rehabilitator that was the right fit. It was relief to know the squirrels would go to a rehabilitator with experience and patience! When old enough, they will be back in the wild.

     I had 7 orphaned baby skunks. I advertised them on this site and wanted a licensed wildlife rescuer to take them. I was contacted that same day and a dedicated young man from a wildlife rescue organization came and picked them up that night. Thank-you Stephen. Sorry I forgot to give you a donation that night. I will be sending a donation.

     I posted a rescue request yesterday morning at 7:00 am stating that I had 3 newborn baby rabbits, and within 2 hours I had received a phone call and had made arrangements for a rehabilitator to come and pick up the babies. This is a wonderful website, so glad that I found it. Thank you!

     I just want to thank Rescue Me and all the people who so kindly responded to our outreach for help. I have spoken to many wonderful people over the last 24 hours and am happy to report that I was able to locate a local wildlife rehabilitator that has accepted the fawn. Thanks to information obtained from Rescue Me I was able to quickly find and provide the appropriate care needed. Thanks again Nick Csabi

     The same day I posted my Rescue Me animal I received an email from a wonderful woman saying she would take him. I drove up to her sanctuary and she showed me around. I knew I had found the perfect place for my duck Donald. Thanks Rescue Me for helping find such a wonderful person and place!

     A day after posting here, someone called who could care for the abandoned baby squirrel we had. She was only about a mile away, and I know it is in caring, responsible hands. Thank you!

     Hello Jeff, The squirrel was brought to an experienced rehabber. I was amazed at how quickly I got a response. An hour after I posted that, I was handing over the squirrel to be treated by a professional. Your website is amazing. Without it, the poor thing wouldn't have had a chance... thank you! Mary
