🚨 ABANDONED PUPPY FOUND ON I-76 EAST; WE NEED YOUR HELP 🚨

This morning, we received a call from the Ohio State Highway Patrol regarding a heartbreaking and completely unacceptable situation. A small puppy was found abandoned in a crate on the side of I-76 eastbound in the Seville area.

Someone made the conscious decision to leave this puppy behind in a crate along a busy interstate, putting this little life at tremendous risk. This puppy was completely dependent on someone to provide for their safety and wellbeing. Instead, they were simply left there.

Animal abandonment is a crime in the state of Ohio. Depending on the circumstances, abandonment may be charged as a misdemeanor of the second or first degree.

We are asking everyone; Did you see anything this morning?
Did you witness someone leaving a crate or stopping along I-76 eastbound in the Seville area? Do you recognize this puppy or have any information that may help us identify their owner?

Please call our Humane Officer at 330-802-7880 or at 330-723-7722 ext. 2
You can also email [email protected]

Even the smallest piece of information could help us determine what happened to this puppy and hold the person responsible accountable.

Please share this post. This puppy deserved so much better, just look at that little face 😭

**please note- this puppy is NOT available for adoption at this time and we do not have any estimate of when they might be. We have a legal process we are required to follow before that point**

🦇 The Ohio Division of Wildlife is asking for the public's help in reporting of any bat mortalities or injured bats in Ohio. There appears to be a significant increase in the last couple of years of bat pup deaths in particular, currently with an unknown, common source. Tests are being carried out to see if there is a particular cause, pathogen, etc., that points to the supposed increase in large mortality events.

General public, please use the reporting form linked here and include photos if possible: https://ohiodnr.gov/discover-and-learn/safety-conservation/about-ODNR/wildlife/Report+Wildlife+Sightings

Rehabbers who admit bats, please use the following form: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=xPz4UNiUB0-E6zbtV8fIoq4slejVeEVMp2MlXkuWW85UQUxCNVFISlNKTUNGUVozQk00VloxUVlQRC4u

‼️ If you find an injured bat, please do not attempt to handle, but seek out your nearest rehabilitator for advice.

It’s that time of year again- Fawn Season! We want to reshare a post from last year as we have been receiving multiple calls and messages through our info line and Facebook.

🚨 Please SHARE! 🚨

⚠️ Help! I found a baby fawn!

🦌 A resting fawn, lying down, curled up, does not necessarily need help. A fawn is often seen in the same spot for several days (even immediately next to a home, deck or garage) until the mother leads it to a new location. White tailed deer moms will leave their fawns during the day and return to them at night. This is normal behavior, as it helps to protect the baby from predators. Unfortunately, native forested habitat has been transformed into a more urban environment, making some of the resting spots more obvious and vulnerable to humans.

🦌 Leave it alone and keep an eye on it. If you see any of these concerning signs, call or InfoLine at (614) 793-9453 or message us directly:

❗Crying, bleating, or approaching people
❗Covered in flies, especially on its back end (mom is not cleaning the fawn's back end)
❗Curled ear tips (see photo, can be a sign of dehydration)
❗Located directly next to a dead adult deer

🦟 Ohio is officially on the confirmed range map for the lone star tick, and health officials are urging Buckeye State residents to take the threat seriously as the aggressive species continues pushing northward and emergency department visits for tick bites are already spiking across the Midwest. The CDC has confirmed lone star ticks in Ohio along with more than 30 other states, a significant expansion from just a few years ago, driven in part by Ohio's growing deer population, shorter and milder winters in recent years, and the spread of invasive plant species that create ideal tick habitat 🐾. Entomologists at Ohio State University have specifically flagged the risk to Ohioans who spend time near wooded areas or brush, noting the tick is especially common in areas that border forests, which describes a significant portion of central and southeastern Ohio. The species is described by health authorities as unusually fast-moving and aggressive, more likely to actively pursue a host than many other tick species.
What makes the lone star tick particularly alarming are the conditions it can trigger. Alpha-gal syndrome, or AGS, is a potentially life-threatening allergy to red meat and other mammal-based products including dairy, certain medications, and even some dental hygiene items, that develops after a bite from an infected tick. The CDC estimates there may be as many as 450,000 cases across the United States, though because it is not a reportable condition, most go undiagnosed. Ohio State Health and Discovery has noted that many Ohio patients who develop AGS never realize the cause because symptoms can take hours to appear after eating, rather than the immediate reaction most people associate with food allergies 🍖. The lone star tick is also a carrier of Heartland virus, a rare but serious illness with no vaccine and no treatment other than supportive care, capable of causing fever, severe fatigue, muscle pain, nausea, and diarrhea lasting weeks to months. With tick season now fully underway, Ohioans are urged to use EPA-approved repellents containing DEET or picaridin, treat clothing with permethrin, do full body checks after any time outdoors, and shower within two hours of coming inside. Do a thorough check on your pets and children too, particularly behind the ears, in the hairline, and in the armpits.

Ants will eat practically any kind of food, but are especially attracted to sweets. Ant identification is relatively simple due to their distinct body regions.

🐝 Hidden Beneath Silence… Millions of Lives Were Thriving

In one of the most astonishing discoveries imaginable, millions of bees were found living quietly beneath a cemetery in New York State.
A place meant for silence… became home to one of nature’s loudest miracles.

Beneath the ground, beyond what human eyes could see, these tiny pollinators built an entire hidden world of life, order, and survival.
While people came to mourn the past above, nature was protecting the future below.

It’s breathtaking to think about:
in one of the most unexpected places, bees were doing what they have always done—working tirelessly, building community, and keeping ecosystems alive.

This is more than a surprising discovery.
It is a reminder that nature does not need grand stages to create wonder.
Sometimes, its greatest miracles happen in silence… unseen, unnoticed, and unbelievably beautiful.

🐝 Millions of bees.
🌿 One hidden refuge.
🌍 One powerful message:

Nature can still thrive—even in the places we least expect.

And maybe that is exactly what the world needs to remember right now:
if we give nature space, it will return with beauty, resilience, and life.

✨ Sometimes the most incredible things on Earth are not lost…
they are simply waiting to be discovered.

While we tend to associate allergies and asthma with the outdoors, common household pests such as cockroaches, dust mites and rodents are also major triggers, especially in children.
