A REMINDER
Hoo is much honored that so many individuals are glad we are here. This is just a reminder for those who may not know.
Because we are 100% volunteer run and all donations go to the wildlife there are a few things that we work around.
- All intakes are by appointment only. Because we cannot do chores, go to the vet, do releases, treatments and more we intake by appointment only.
- We do have regular tour times, Tuesday thru Saturday 11am.
- Most intakes are done 9-12 but not all. We will let you know when you call.
- Our hard line is not great with all the rain. It has been checked out, we have a new phone but all the water in the ground is still giving problems. So be very careful when you call. Name, phone number clearly and slow and animal. If I cannot hear, understand the phone number there cannot be a call back.
