We also get calls from bird owners who no longer want or can care for their pets.  It doesn't matter, we take them in.  Seagulls, wild parrots, tame cockatoos, and most anything else that  flies.  One of our Sisters is licensed by the state of Maryland to care for injured wildlife. 

While they're with us we love these members of God's creation, treat them with dignity and respect, care for their injuries, and as soon as possible release the wild animals to continue their lives on this beautiful strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay.

We call our home Sanctuary House.  It is a place where not only humans but also animals may find peace, rest, and safety.  Part of the Sisters' daily work is the care not only of God's people but also the care of God's animals.
