Not long after that Ellen also raised a litter of orphaned baby wild mice which were later released in a nearby field. Currently in her spare time, Ellen rehabilitates a variety of orphaned and injured wild mammals and birds including the occasional mouse. Some of the animals you will see in the mouse designs are drawings of animals Ellen has worked with. Of all the animals Ellen has drawn, however, the mice continue to be by far the most popular. If you have discovered an injured or orphaned wild animal, Ellen asks that you contact your local Fish and Wildlife Dept. for a list of wildlife rehabilitators in your area.
Some veterinarians also have lists of local rehabilitators.
During natural or manmade disasters, companion animals are frequently left behind to fend for themselves. People tend to think they will be allowed back to their homes in a day or two but often it is weeks before they can return to their pets. Since Red Cross shelters cannot accept pets, it is important that people plan ahead to help insure the safety of all their animals. I hope you will take a moment to check out the following web pages for tips about this issue and please encourage others to do the same. House-Mouse Designs , All Rights Reserved.
