From the state Fish and Game Department:

If you encounter wildlife, even young animals that appear to need help, the kindest - and safest - thing to do is to leave them alone and let nature take its course, officials from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said today.

This time of year, many people call Fish and Game reporting that they have picked up young animals, thinking they are orphans. "Picking up fawns, baby raccoons or young animals is an error in judgment," says Fish and Game Lt. Bruce Bonenfant. "People think they're doing a good deed, but they are removing the animal from the care of its parents and exposing themselves to the risk of disease. What's more, these actions may result in the animal having to be euthanized for rabies testing."

Green Mountain Pug Rescue Needs You!

Green Mountain Pug Rescue needs foster homes within New Hampshire, Vermont and around the Albany to Plattsburgh areas in New York. With summer approaching, and vacations coming up, we need more foster homes to help with our pugs in need.

GMPR covers all vetting (shots, spay/neuter, dental, heartworm and lyme tests) and will provide you with all the dog food. All you need to provide is a loving, warm, home for our pugs while they adjust. Foster pugs can be owner surrenders, puppymill pugs, or pugs from shelters that have been released into our care.
