Eastern Gray Squirrel

Name: Patrick Hogan
Affiliation: Peninsula Humane Society/Spca
Email: phogan@phs-spca.org
Address: 1450 Rollins Rd.
City: Burlingame
State: CA
Phone: (650)-340-7022 x414
Species #1: Eastern Gray Squirrel
Age: 1.5 years
Gender: Male
Urgency: Urgent, but will wait for the right home.
Condition: Non-Releasable, imprinted on humans
Training: None,people curious, but will bite

Recommendation: Needs a permanent home, but isolated from other animals/people. This squirrel will come out to say 'Hi' to people, but cannot have physical contact because it will bite. this is a highly enjoyable squirrel to watch, but should be 'hands-off'.

Comments: This squirrel was raised for over 1 year by somebody and kept as a 'pet'. Although the squirrel is people-curious, it will bite if handled and likes to climb on people. This squirrel was kept in a small aviary and had a hamster ball that it would occasionally be kept in and taken out to 'explore' It did not receive a natural diet and had limited space for exercise, so it is very overweight. The Squirrel ;was traumatized when admitted and did not move or eat for a few days, and eventually started to be more active after being housed in an aviary. We are really hoping to find a permanent home for this guy, and want to hive him a good quality of life after the traumatic life it has been subjected to. Please help us find a loving home!

We have a young turkey vulture weighting 806g (as of this morning)who was found on a hiking trail a few days ago. We tried to re-unite but unfortunately no parents came back for it. We haven't had any luck finding a center with another one but I am hoping someone might have a friend for it. Please contact me if you do.

Thank you so much
