is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of handicapped, unwanted critters, exotics, farm animals, reptiles, and certain wildlife. Through our adoption program, the rescue is committed to finding loving, forever homes for all the adoptable animals.
Fallin' Pines does not accept dogs or cats.
At Fallin' Pines, we are receiving inquiries from people who want to give our adoptable animals as gifts to their children. Please understand that giving animals as gifts often turns into a bad idea. Children may find that a short time of enjoyment with a new pet turns into boredom and neglect. Think of all the highly sought-after toys that quickly lose their appeal. Most of our animals have already been through bad situations, and the rescue's mission is to make sure they find loving, forever homes.
If you are interested in a pet for your child, please learn as much as possible about the animal and its required care before inquiring about it. Discuss the animal with your child first, explain to your child the responsibilities of an animal companion, and make sure the new addition would be wanted, appreciated, and loved. When you feel that you are able to give a new animal a stable, forever home, please contact us. If you realize now is not the right time to adopt a pet, please consider sponsoring one our permanent residents

The director of Fallin' Pines is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator who has been caring for injured squirrels and raising babies for many years. Baby squirrel season is here again, and there are already many babies being hand-fed at the rescue. We are in need of devoted volunteers to help feed the baby squirrels and to help find safe release sites when the squirrels are old enough to leave the rescue.
We are always in need of unflavored pedialyte, Fox Valley Day One formula, and used T- shirts for bedding for the babies. The shirts can be torn or stained but must be from non-smoking households and laundered.
For more information about helping with the squirrels, please contact Shirley at (407) 568-7988.
