Antler ridge has given me so much experience with the animals. I enjoy going every week and always look forward to next time. Everyone is so sweet and nice to you and will help you understand and successfully get the job done by taking care of animals and never leaving one out! I am happy and proud to be apart of such a good place who really cares for animals and others.

Volunteering at Antler-Ridge was a great experience for me personally. I loved the hands-on work with the animals and enjoyed meeting all of the interns/volunteers. It was hard to leave because everyone felt like family to me! Kelly was incredibly wonderful and knows how to run a fantastic sanctuary!

I have been a volunteer with Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary for the past few years and currently an Apprentice working to attain a Wildlife Rehabilitator Licence. The support to achieve this goal has been top notch with Kelly Simonetti and Dr. Karen Dashfield DVM providing education and guidance to allow me to succede. The care administered to the animals to allow them to return to the wild is a prime objective which Antler Ridge strongly adhears to.

I, along with my daughters who are 13 and 15 years old, have been volunteering at Antler Ridge for 3 years. It's a very magical, loving place and we feel very fortunate to be able to be a part of such a wonderful organization! I have seen animals come in with wounds that I did not think would be able to be "fixed" but through the love and dedication and experience of Kelly, Dr. Karen and volunteers, these animals are properly nursed back to health and SURVIVE and then when they are strong and healthy are released back into their natural environment. It’s an amazing thing to witness and experience. I’m grateful that my daughters are able to experience it as well!

Antler Ridge is incredible! Injured and abandoned animals are individually cared for with such love and gentleness. They are then returned to their natural habitat as soon as they are able to care for themselves. Those who cannot survive on their own continue to receive care. Hats off to Kelly, Dr. Karen and all the volunteers at Antler Ridge for the wonderful job you do!

Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary is known as "the angels on the hill", and this could not be more true! ALL animals, large or small, are treated with the utmost care, respect, and genuine compassion by an extremely knowledgable staff and caring volunteer network. After experiencing the sanctuary firsthand, I knew I had to become part of the magic and am now an 8-year volunteer!

I have met some truly wonderful people at Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary. People who truly care about helping wounded or orphaned wildlife and donate their time and funds in the service of God's creatures.

I have just completed my 4th year volunteering at Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary (AWRS). My work there has sparked my interest in all areas of wildlife and AWRS has opened up many educational opportunities in this area. I have watched and participated in the rehabilitation and release of local mammals and marveled at the care they receive while at AWRS. In addition, Kelly (licensed rehabilitator) reaches out to many other local organizations (ie, scouts), spearheads conservation projects and helps raise awareness of wildlife. It is the best volunteer experience I've ever had.

I'm a volunteer at Antler Ridge and I cannot say enough great things about Kelly and her tireless efforts to help wildlife and also her community. The volunteers work hard and foster an atmosphere of genuine caring and concern for all of the animals in their care as well as one another.
