On their website, they said that they take in injured wildlife for treatment and send them out to rehabilitation. It's a surrender type situation so they rely on donations for care of these animals. My daughters brought to me a wild bird with a broken leg. As animal lovers, we read stories of birds with broken legs being mended and rehab'd all the time. I thought I was in luck when I found this place for the poor bird. If I'd known what they were going to do then I would NOT have taken the bird here. The "vet", I am supposing, decided that it would be more "humane" to euthanize the poor thing instead of treating it and finding a foster rehab home for it. I think the issue was that they just didn't want to deal with it and since no one was paying for treatment it was cheaper and easier for them to kill it. I feel awful because I thought I was doing the right thing by bringing this injured, wild bird to a caring vet. Needless to say, I will NOT be taking any animal back to this place. Needless to say, I will NOT be making a donation. Do not take any wild animal here that has been injured. Call your local vet and find a good place to turn in that specializes in rehabbing it or do more research to find an authentic wildlife rehab place. I am very disappointed and am pursuing an investigation by submitting them to the ethics board of Georgia for Veterinarians.
