Tried to get help for a poor little baby bird
Just in case anyone has an EMERGENCY like I did this morning, DO NOT waste your time,energy, and gas, trying to contact this organization. Although I DO SUPPORT their efforts, it would be nice and not very much effort to list hours their facility is REALLY open and have a phone number where someone answers the phone or people can actually leave a message. I received quite a bit of information and help from the manager of Pet Supermarket on Beach Blvd at the Beach. Since I was working, I had to pay a staff member to take the baby bird out to BEAKS during listed open hours and NO ONE was there! I was shocked. NO ONE was answering the phone so I couldn't let them leave the baby in the "basket" because the baby had to eat every 30 to 45 minutes. So after more research, I called the humane society only to discover my vet of over 20 years -Hidden Hills Animal Hospital was the drop off site. This "tidbit"of information could SIMPLY be included on their web page and save people quite a bit of time! Is this really too much too ask? I sent a cash donation to assist with the baby's care and left over worms for it to eat. This organization is absolutely wonderful and as I understand, survives on volunteers and donations. Jacksonville is blessed to have them. If someone "dumps" an animal on them for rehab, please make a donation to support its care. But, I also believe the organization has a responsibility to the community like to have a current phone number with a clear mailbox, current hours with someone there to take "drop offs" and a web site instructing people where a drop off location is so someone like me doesn't waste money and other's time to drive have way to Amelia Island only find the place locked up!
