WAYNESBORO, Va. (AP) - The Wildlife Center of Virginia is seeking sponsors for animals that can’t be released back into the wild.
About two dozen animals are permanent residents of the center in Waynesboro. They include hawks, owls, opossums and snakes. Many serve as educational ambassadors and appear with outreach staff at school assemblies and other events.
Supports can sponsor these animals through the center’s “Caring for Critters” program. A full year sponsorship is $50 and a six-month sponsorship is $25.
The center’s director of outreach, Amanda Nicholson, tells The News-Virginian (https://bit.ly/1ivgwCC ) that sponsorship money generally helps provide food and shelter for any animals in need.
A new program offers academic year sponsorships for teachers and classrooms. This $35 sponsorship generally is for a nine-month period.
