Animal Control in that state transported her to our facility for care. This beautiful female adult Bald Eagle was discovered on the ground, along a road, and unable to fly. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in helping this penguin-looking beauty return to where it belongs! One of our volunteers, along with the expert help of Delaware Bay and River Cooperative, released the healed and healthy bird back to the open sea. It gained weight, its waterproofing became stellar, and it dove expertly for food-ultimately demonstrating it was ready to go back to the sea. With proper care, nutritious meals, and pool exercise, the young murre soon grew strong and well. Once in our care, we performed a thorough examination and found that the wayward bird was generally debilitated. It was very unusual for this second-year seabird not only to be on land, but also to be in a city! They are a pelagic species and spend most of their lives on open ocean waters, gathering in colonies on land in the arctic only to breed and raise their single chick each year. Sean Casey Animal Rescue earned a 2018 Gold Seal of Transparency on GuideStarUSA. By adding information about our goals, capabilities and achievements, we are highlighting the difference we help to make in the world.Found stranded in Brooklyn, NY (yes, THAT Brooklyn) after a storm, this Thick-billed Murre was rescued and transported all the way to our clinic by our colleagues at Wild Bird Fund in New York City. Just about any creature in NYC, who needs a home has passed through the shelter’s doors, including 100-pound land tortoises, tarantulas, pot belly pigs, goats, and various other farm animals that somehow end up living in the five boroughs. Our shelter always has many dogs and cats available for adoption in addition to various sorts of reptiles, birds, and small furry animals. SCAR, because of its reputation for giving comprehensive care, often receives sick or injured animals. When animals come in, they are assessed right away to see if there are any obvious health issues requiring an immediate visit to the vet’s office. Some of these were reptiles, amphibians, and other “exotic” species that need the expert care of vets or other specialists to be rehabilitated.Īs often as twice a day, the NYC Animal Care & Control (ACC) van arrives at the shelter bringing dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, snakes, iguanas, and even fish. In 2007 Sean Casey was licensed by NY State as an Assistant Wildlife Rehabilitator, and thus wildlife (squirrels, possums, ducks, geese etc.) were added to the list of animals coming through the shelter on their way to appropriate habitats.
In conjunction with our licensed wildlife rehabilitators, we can inform the public on the way to handle situations involving wildlife as well as rehabilitating injured and orphaned animals.
We strive to educate the public about respecting, understanding and coexisting with the natural wildlife of New York City through our programs and events. They also learn hands-on skills: walking, cleaning, and feeding dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and more. The programs teach disadvantaged students about care and responsible ownership of domesticated animals. SCAR participates in innovative job training and Community Service programs through high schools in Brooklyn. We are a family-friendly establishment focused on educating pet owners and animal lovers about the needs and responsibilities of pet ownership as well as behavior and training issues and health and wellbeing concerns. Neighborhood children can volunteer to help take care of the animals, and learn compassion as well as proper feeding, grooming, and handling. We are a community-based organization we welcome you to spend some time at our facility. These animals are cared for, and/or rehabilitated to the best of our ability and means until which time they can be found healthy, happy homes – whether it be through adoption to qualified candidates or legally released into habitats suitable to the specific species in conjunction with licensed wildlife rehabilitators. We take in rescued, confiscated, neglected, injured, ill, unmanageable, or otherwise unwanted animals from private owners, zoos, shelters, and other public organizations. The purpose of this endeavor is to aid unfortunate animals in the interest of a higher quality of life.
