babalouParticipantwho to contact regarding injured wildlife? dept. of fish and game? Parks and Rec.?
January 16, 2012 at 11:31 pm #745230
owenParticipantPAWS says to call them – 425.412.4040. Here’s their page on Injured and Orphaned Wildlife

oddrealityParticipantIf it is something you can catch you can take it to the VCA Five Corners vet. They get a Sarvey pick up most days.
I think Hammerhead [poster here ] sometimes can help too depending on what sort of wildlife it is. What sort of animal are you talking about?
January 17, 2012 at 3:25 am #745232
hammerheadParticipantYes please do NOT hesitate to call me. If i can get it, it will be done.
NOT one wildlife rescue will come out to get any injured animal.(paws, sarvery or wildlife especially not them today as it was a holiday)
FCAT/pamela 206-972-3557 this is my direct line for INJURED animals!

babalouParticipantthank-you for replies. I will be calling. And thanks for the heads up re. no help from organizations to capture, as I would have spent hours on the phone looking for help because it’s just me and I don’t have anyone to help me capture. This is a situation the serenity prayer was made for.

babalouParticipantthe injured animal is a domestic breed goose that was dropped off years ago in a local park and so has lived outdoors– in the “wild” — doesn’t have an owner or house. The issue I’ve run into is that places like PAWS and Sarvey that help wildlife won’t help with domestic breed. does anyone know of a “farm animal” type sanctuary, etc. Baahaus’s answering message says they’re full and can’t take additional animals and pasado’s doesn’t answer but they may be a good option. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

herongrrrlParticipantTry Pasado’s Safe Haven: http://www.pasadosafehaven.org/
They should be able to help you with a domestic animal. Good luck!

mehud7ParticipantI have seen chickens getting vet care at South Seattle Veterinary Hospital. Maybe he could be treated there and then be placed with a chicken, duck, or goose family in someone’s yard.

hammerheadParticipantI guess seattle animal control wasn’t good enough. hope they can brave the storm. I offered.

HunterGParticipantWhere are you at babalou? This isn’t our Lincoln Park geese right?
January 18, 2012 at 5:04 am #745239
hammerheadParticipantyes it is.
January 18, 2012 at 5:49 pm #745240
babalouParticipantHunterG can I contact you? I would like to discuss situation with you since you know about them and they are a unique situation. I spent all day on the phone yesterday and found a local farm animal sanctuary that would take them. Also, talking to vets and the sanctuary, learned that what I thought was injury may be natural. no one I talked to thinks the situation is dire/urgent. (they will survive the storm as they have lived out in it for at least 5 past winters and they have their down jackets on.)

HunterGParticipantbabalou – I have heard from several other park-goers that these geese have lived in the park and have been regular fixtures there for 14+ years.
Although I am concerned, I have no idea as to what I could do. One of them is injured? Or is it that you are concerned that they are abandoned? I just saw the two the other day.
January 23, 2012 at 3:34 am #745242
pigeonmomParticipantThese geese are siblings, hatched right near the ferry dock. They will be 2 years old in May.
Their mother was a fixture in the area for 15+ years and was killed by a dog last year.
January 23, 2012 at 3:52 am #745243
HunterGParticipantThanks for the info on the geese, pigeon mom. The mother of the two siblings must have been who this park-goer was speaking about.
It’s incredible tragic that the mother was killed. Another reason folks why YOUR DOG SHOULD BE ON A LEASH!!!
January 23, 2012 at 4:22 am #745244
pigeonmomParticipantI know, I’m still sad about that. A co-worker passed away before the mama goose had live hatch-lings after years and years of sitting on the nest. My friend and co-worker would have been so happy to have seen her babies.
