ROANOKE, Va. – The Wildlife Warriors for the Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center held their 3rd Annual Baby Shower on Saturday! The goal of the Baby Shower was to prepare for the spring baby rush when the Wildlife Hospital expects to admit more than 1,000 injured or orphaned baby wildlife.
Young animals will begin to arrive any day, and the community’s assistance will help give these babies a second chance.
“It’s been a very popular event every year. We get tons of items, the public and the community has been really good to come out and support us. They get us lots of items that we need, and this makes a big difference for our ability to operate every year.”
Chester Leonard, Executive Director with SWVA Wildlife Center
Thanks to the baby shower, the center stocked up on species‐specific baby formula, critical medications, produce, meat, dry feed and countless other supplies needed to successfully rehabilitate, and release orphaned and injured wild animals.
