Mary Beth R.

Like many rehabbers, Mary Beth began her rehabbing career when she found an animal in need and had a difficult time finding help. The baby bird didn't make it but Mary Beth learned so much from a local rehabber and started the process of becoming permitted herself. 20 years later Mary Beth cares for fox, bobcats, beaver, mink, river otters, and she's the only rehabber in her group who rehabs rabies vector species. When she's not helping the animals, she's a full time firefighter/paramedic. It's not easy to find the funds for all of the necessary rehabbing supplies but Mary Beth feels that the animals are worth every penny.
