HUNDREDS NEED HELP.
CWR IS ANSWERING THE CALL.

Carolina Waterfowl Rescue has been called in to help save hundreds of birds found abandoned and in distress in northern Iredell County. Chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigeons and other birds were found without adequate food or water, with some showing signs of injury and severe distress. CWR staff and volunteers have mobilized to bring these animals to safety, where they now need food, medical care, supplies, housing and daily care.

A rescue of this size brings extraordinary, unexpected costs. Your donation will help CWR provide the immediate care these animals need while continuing to care for the hundreds of other animals already depending on the rescue. Every gift helps turn an overwhelming rescue into individual second chances.

Hundreds of animals needed help.
CWR answered the call.
Now they need all of us.

From the smallest everyday necessities to the most critical medical care, each one helps keep our mission moving forward. 

We may be built on the little things, but our supporters are the foundation that makes it all possible.

Your generosity helps us meet today's needs, prepare for tomorrow's challenges, and build a stronger rescue for the future. 

This September, your support can help keep our towels clean, sanitized, and ready for whatever rescue comes through the door.

But we've discovered a bit of a problem: the sheer volume of laundry we create is simply too much for our current washers and dryers. They're not built to handle the constant workload, even when purchased new and are branded Heavy Duty. Unfortunately they are not durable and constant breakdowns have become a regular challenge. 

So, for now, our staff has to make regular hauls to the laundromat.  

And while a bunch of quarters gets those machines running, the real cost goes beyond the laundry. There are additional transportation expenses, staff offsite time and travel time, and valuable time that could otherwise be spent caring for animals at the rescue. 

It's one more example of how the everyday needs of rescue add up—and one more place where your support makes a difference.
