Beth S.

Growing up on a farm in a rural area, Beth encountered injured wildlife and always took them in. While working part time for a veterinarian during high school, she took her in first opossum and was hooked. At the age of 23 she assisted with starting her hometown's first Humane Society, worked at a vet hospital through college, then became a rehabber shortly afterward and helped start the wildlife center Keeper of the Wild. Now in her 21st year of rehabbing, Beth cares for between 200 and 300 opossums each year. Her dream is to start a non-profit Opossum Sanctuary where all misplaced or non-releasables will have a happy home to live out their lives.
