Choose Your Favorite Woodburned Animal Cedar Sign

TRWC has out-grown its current building and is building a new 1,440 SF Center on the same property. Last year, with over 500 animals coming in, we were terribly crowded in our 300 SF room. The new Center has separate rooms for the birds and mammals, a food prep area and an indoor bathroom for the volunteers (yeah!).

But we need your help!
Our budget for the new building is $60,000. We currently have only 1/2 to allocate to the
building and still be able to feed & care for the 2008 animals.

Please help us by purchasing a 6” x 12” engraved, hand woodburned, permanently sealed cedar sign to be installed on our outside “animal wall”. Two local woodburners are donating their services to hand burn your sign with the animal that you choose from the list below.

Each will be completed in order of receipt and you will be notified
when your sign is installed on the wall. Consider one for Mother’s & Father’s Day or
- Someone who deserves recognition for past contributions in life or yourself!
- A loved one, family members, friends, your business and your beloved pets
- Birthdays, anniversaries, commencements and other occasions that have special meaning to you!

PLEASE CLICK ON THE ORDER FORM BELOW AND PRINT OUT THE FORM AND MAIL IT!

Wild Goose Shatters Patrol Car's Windshield
-Bird survives crash and is recovering at Wildlife Center
by RUTH LIAO Statesman Journal March 11, 2008

Salem police Officer Jeff Keniston was headed to assist another officer on State Street late Friday night when it came out of nowhere.
"I didn't even see it. There was just a loud thud and the windshield just shattered," Keniston said.
Keniston thought he had hit a pedestrian at 50 mph — a crater of cracked glass covered the passenger side of his patrol car.
But when Keniston swerved to a stop, he saw a bystander crouched on the side of the road — with a dazed goose in her arms.
The wild goose had hit the windshield, flown up into the air and landed next to the bystander, said Keniston.
The goose was taken to an emergency veterinary clinic, and then to Turtle Ridge Wildlife Center in South Salem. Wildlife rehabilitator Mary Bliss said the goose initially refused to eat but then began feeding after 12 hours.
On Monday, Bliss judged that the goose was well enough to try out a pond on their South Salem property, so she let him out of their enclosure.
Bliss said the bird was a Western Canada goose, which stays in the area year-long and is bigger than a migratory goose. She speculated the bird was a gander, because it weighed about 11 pounds and had a wingspan of about one yard.
Bliss said their rehabilitation center often cares for injured birds that hit windshields or utility lines, particularly owls or crows.
Keniston said the goose incident was a first for him after 10 years in law enforcement.
"Occasionally, you hit the night rodent or the possum, but I've never experienced anything like this before."

Please visit the Turtle Ridge Wildlife Center's website to learn more about what they do and how you can help.
