Since 1983, the kind folks at the Sanctuary have been taking in injured, orphaned, and sick wildlife&#8230;and boy, have they been busy! In an average year, they help thousands of animal patients rest, recover, and, in most cases, return to the wild where they belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with saving lives, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary prides itself on educating the public about conservation. Guess what? Like Earth Rangers, they have animal ambassadors that help to teach people about protecting and preserving wildlife and nature!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;d like to say a huge &#8216;thank you&#8217; for saving animals and the environment, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><strong>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buschwildlife.org\/\" title=\"\">www.buschwildlife.org <\/a>to learn more<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlie couldn\u2019t survive in the wild after his claws were removed.
