My Nonprofit Reviews

Thank you to everyone at Ohlone Humane Society and especially the Wildlife Center.

A few weeks ago neighbors noticed a squirrel following people around and called me to take a look. The squirrel seemed unafraid of people and would take walnuts and sunflowers but seemed unable to chew them. The little guy had a bloody nose and some other injuries. I thought maybe he had hurt his mouth. I managed to get him into a carrier and wrote OHS Wildlife Center.

Though the Center was closed for remodeling my email was answered and, amazingly, Kelli called me at about 8pm suggesting I bring the squirrel to her house. She suspected he was young. Since he’d been following people for almost two days she suspected he hadn’t eaten in that time and needed immediate care. I dropped him off and, sure enough, Kelli thought he was only about 5 weeks old and couldn’t eat the walnuts because he still only had milk teeth! Mom was gone so he had no food. She took him to bottle feed.

OHS has helped me with many animals over many, many years - injured raccoon, tiny baby opossum, injured squirrel, injured skunk to name a few. They help with advice or action or both. I’ve dealt with many different OHS people and all are responsive and caring. I feel very lucky to have such a group close by.
