Monday I received a call from my friend Lory, who was with her son Enzo, on a school field trip at a small neighborhood lake in Northville. She had explained to me that a swan had been resting on a shore, not too far from where his mate was nesting, and apparently, someone had noticed […]
This past Saturday (5/30/15), we welcomed a new member to the Sanctuary family, and her name is Little Sarah, and she appears to be an Orpington (aka. Buff) breed. John had called me earlier in the day and told me that they found a little injured duck quacking behind their garage in Birmingham, so he and his […]
So busy, so far behind, so much to write, don’t know where to begin…so I’ll try here: Went to the vet today, Dr. Beasley (Cedar Creek), with three of our precious angels, Gee Gee, Fred Jr. and Rebecca.

As many of you may remember, Marold, our precious rescue from the Brighton Mill Pond, had a tough time since his arrival. He had lost his ability to walk and care for himself at the pond, so he was given refuge at our Sanctuary, where he would have constant care around the clock, if need be. […]
Our precious cargo arrived yesterday afternoon via Atlanta, GA., (a 750 mile flight, and she didn’t even break a sweat), and her name is Daisy. Her owner, Kathi, has several ducks, I believe 3 boys and 3 girls, but poor little Daisy was the constant target of the boy’s abuse, and they were relentless to […]
