SAN DIEGO, CA — Every spring, San Diego Humane Society's Project Wildlife program receives an influx of injured and orphaned baby wildlife — and the organization needs the community's help to give them a second chance.

With spring and wildlife baby season around the corner, San Diego Humane Society is inviting the community to participate in its 14th annual Wildlife Baby Shower.

Community members can purchase items from the organization's online baby registries at Amazon, Target or Walmart, or make a donation directly to San Diego Humane Society to help save the lives of baby bunnies, ducklings, raccoons, squirrels and more animals.
