Last Chance Forever

Tom and I are involved with a Raptor Sanctuary called Last Chance Forever. Master falconer and veterinarian technician John Karger and his wife, veterinarian, Meliisa Hill are responsible for rescuing and rehabilitating birds of prey which includes, owls, eagles, hawks, falcons and vultures. Established in 1978, the organization, receives from 150 to 300 birds each year that are either orphaned or injures. Up to 80% are able to be released into their natural habitat. Last Chance Forever has been educating the public through demonstrations held throughout the country in the vast impact that these creatures have on our environment. We have gained a tremendous respect and awe of the endless work that John, Melissa and the staff does to save the rapters that have been brought to the center. For more information and advice on what to do if you should discover a bird that needs help, their web-site is:
