Why Aren't We Open Anymore? Meet Salvador, Our Amazing Giant Anteater! 🐜 Enjoy watching Salvador, the giant anteater, as he feeds gracefully, a reminder of the beauty of wildlife. Unfortunately, we are currently closed to personal and educational tours due to challenges posed by local neighbors and the county, which have impacted the safety of our animals. After over 20 years of providing a sanctuary for these creatures, external pressures have forced us to stop welcoming visitors. We need your support to continue our mission, which includes raising awareness by sharing our story to advocate for animal rights. Donations are vital to cover legal fees, animal care, and the maintenance of our sanctuary. We invite you to follow us on social media for updates on our journey and the well-being of the animals. Together, we can ensure a safe environment for Salvador and all our residents. Thank you for your compassion and support during these tough times.🐾❤️ #SaveOurSanctuary #Support #AnimalRights #Salvador #Anteater #exoticanimals #BeTheirVoice

Today, Jeremy and Ashley are treating Salvador, our extraordinary anteater, to some of his favorite enrichment activities. While avocados are a special treat, in the wild, Salvador would feast on ants and termites, moving from one mound to another to avoid danger. At 9 or 10 years old, Salvador's unique appearance and habits are a testament to his species' adaptability. Join us in supporting Salvador and learn more about how you can contribute to wildlife rescue by visiting the link in our bio. Every engagement makes a difference!

Oh, how I adore it when the wolves discover a hidden piece of meat they’ve concealed so cleverly. They roll in it and then come over to show their affection! #wolves

I’m thrilled that TikTok is back up and running this morning; however, I’m concerned about the way they are playing with people's livelihoods. It’s frustrating how decisions are never definitive or guaranteed. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see what happens… see you all on Monday.

Today, we invite you to join us on a heartwarming journey with Bean, our beloved corn-loving porcupine at Because We Matter Rescue center 🐾 Sit back and relax as Ashley shares the story of Bean's arrival at our sanctuary. After a misunderstanding due to human handling, Bean found her way to us, seeking safety and compassion. Porcupines are often misunderstood because of their sharp quills and the strong odor they release when threatened, both of which are natural defense mechanisms essential for their survival. At our center, we are dedicated to providing a safe haven for Bean and other animals who have faced similar challenges. With the support of our amazing volunteers and the broader community, we strive to ensure these creatures receive the care and respect they deserve. Your likes, shares, and comments are vital in helping us continue our mission. By spreading Bean's story, you contribute to raising awareness about the importance of wildlife rescue and protection. Join us in supporting Bean and her friends by visiting the link in our bio. Together, we can make a difference and secure a brighter future for wildlife everywhere. 🌿✨ Stay tuned for more delightful updates from Bean and her friends at the center! #Porcupine #WildlifeRescue #feedingtime #safety #porcupines #journey #itscornatime #corn #snacktime

Meet Frank, our charming 3-year-old opossum here at Because We Matter Rescue and Research Center. Frank is not just any opossum – he's an ambassador for his species, spreading love and awareness about these incredible creatures. Frank's tail is a marvel of nature! Unlike the myth that opossums hang from their tails, these strong appendages are actually used for balance and grasping, much like a fifth limb. If you ever encounter a baby opossum in the wild, remember Ashley's golden rule: If they’re at least 7 inches long (excluding the tail), they’re likely independent and should be left where they are. They're tougher than they look! Every like, share, and comment on our posts helps us spread the word about wildlife rescue and the importance of protecting these unique creatures. For more ways to help, visit the link in our bio. Stay tuned for more delightful updates from Frank and his friends at the center! 🐾✨ #Opossum #Love #education #WildlifeRescue #Frank #Opossums #SaveWildlife #LearnWithUs #marsupials
