long said mam animals art1 re
leased where the\ were origi
nally found
Shimmel said the Oregon
Wildlife Rehabilitation Associ
ation provides a network ol
about Kill reliahhers statewide,
and animals are sent to the lo
cations with similar animals
when possible l.ong said a li
cense is required to care toi
most indigenous animals
Local veterinarians assist the
i enter on a regular basis bv ex
auditing animals, taking x-rays,
and putting animals to sleep
when necessaix. Shimmel said
the number ol volunteer veter
inarians has remained steads
while the animal intake has
greatly lilt leased, so a lower
percentage receive a visit Irom
the vet
WWKR is funded entirely t>\
donations and fundraisers and
continunlh suffers shortages
I he c enter usually receives be
tween $100 ami $100 eac h
month, and rent for the build
mg $400 Shimmel said it is
diffic ult for her to w rite grants
to help reduc e the funding
c rune h since " we spend so
nun h time putting out immedi
ate tires ' She added it would
be- helpful it a student volun
leer could work on a grant
A run walk will be hcdcl June
24 to benefit U'WKK beginning
at Alton linker Park, with do
nated prizes to be awarded. An
mini sponsorships or "adop
times" are also available* Spoil
sorship funds are used for food,
housing, and medic al services,
supplies, and equipment ac
cording to the center's fall luM'l
newsletter Sponsors are issued
a i ertificate with their animal's
name
Orientation meetings me
held every Wednesday .it 7 tl)
p m to help educ ate the public
and potential i al u nI eers
WWKR is open from B a in to
