Found an injured or sick animal?

At this time, Aguacate Sanctuary and Rescue does not have the resources needed to take in injured animals. The maintenance and wellbeing of the animals at Aguacate all comes from generous donations and help from our volunteers. Please note that we do not have any veterinarians on staff at the sanctuary.

Please refer to the following resources to care for injured wildlife:

DUCKS AND ROOSTERS
Aguacate is currently not accepting any ducks or roosters. At the moment, we are over capacity for both of these species. Since both of these species can be territorial, we limit the amount we take in to keep all animals involved safe.
Please refer to the following duck rescues to help with any concerns regarding ducks:

• Duck Haven 954-979-5044
