In the past couple of days, Sean Casey Animal Rescue has rescued several special needs animals, and they could use some donations to help defray medical costs. Phoenix, the snapping turtle pictured above:
was hit by a car in Staten Island heading back to a lake after laying her eggs. Her shell is broken in several places. She is currently having her shell repaired in hopes that she can be released back to her lake when she is all healed.
You can read about all the animals, who are doing pretty well, at the SCAR Facebook page, and if you're able to make a donation, you can do so at their website.
