We are moving and need your help!!

Carolina Waterfowl Rescue is a local non profit run entirely by volunteers that takes in over 800 injured and orphaned waterfowl and other wildlife each year. We are a registered 501c3 non profit . You may have heard about us recently in the news regarding the 29 Canada Geese that were intentionally sprayed with motor oil like substance. Most of these were released today in their new home! 

We have finally found a home for our pre-release cages and we will be moving them from our temporary location in Waxhaw to our new home in Indian Trail. We are in desperate need of donations of river rock, sand or screening and chicken wire. These items are needed for the new cage areas that we will be building. If you can help with any of these items, please call us.  The costs of caring for the sprayed Canada geese depleted our very small emergency fund. If you are able to donate any of these items we will be happy to post your company on our website as a donation provider and encourage visitors to come to your stores.   

In addition, we are also seeking food donations for our volunteers July 25 and 26 when we'll be taking down the old location, and constructing and setting up the new location.  We'll be serving breakfast and lunch to approximately 30 volunteers on both days so if you can help with food, water and drinks, coffee, snacks, dessert, and paper towels and Wet Wipes (for cleaning hands), please let us know.  If you can volunteer on these days or at any other time, please let us know. 

As always, we count on money and supplies to care for our orphaned charges.  While are goal is to release back every bird we can, we do have some that were injured so severely that they cannot survive on their own.  We give these birds a permanent home.  Please see our website www.carolinawaterfowlrescue.com for ways to donate (PayPal or check/money order). 

We are also working with Food Lion.  If you have an MVP card that is not already associated with a school or other charity, please consider us.  Our website has the information on signing up or you can email us at waterfowlrescue@aol.com.   Please include your first and last name, phone number, and 12 digit MVP number. 

Lastly, here is our wish list:

Play pens, light bulbs, airline dog or cat carriers, aquariums (cracked ones are OK), astroturf, bleach, chain link fencing or dog runs, chicken or duck feed, plain original blue Dawn liquid dish soap, dog houses, dry cat food, duct tape, fencing and panels, bird seed, food dishes, gram scales and size scales, hardware cloth, laundry detergent, antibacterial soap, paper towels, parrot food, plastic kiddie pools, plastic spray bottles, trash cans, plywood, shed/portable buildings, wheat straw.

We also take any medical supplies - they do not need to be sterile.

Please contact us ASAP if you can help and thank you so much for your support of wildlife in the Charlotte region.  Our hotline is 704.668.9486.
