The day is finally here!

The Wildlife In Need Center is moving to its new home!

After several years of searching, rasing funds and support, and negotiating leases, our more efficient, more green, more public-friendly facility will be opening on Monday, June 27th.

To accomodate for the moving process, the Center will not be accepting calls for phone counseling, nor will we be accepting patients to our clinic on:

Thursday, June 23rd

Friday, June 24th

Saturday, June 25th 

Sunday, June 26th

We will open the doors at our new facility at W349 S1480 S. Waterville Road Suite B on
Monday, June 27th.
Please note that our new phone number will be (262) 965-3090

Space is a relative thing

We have almost all of our walls in place!

 I was talking with someone about the size of the new facility when all we saw was the concrete slab. It looked not nearly as large as I thought it should. We discussed that, throughout the building process, there will be times that the space looks smaller then expected and then other times when it will appear much larger. 

The next time I commented on the size was when they were building the walls and the space looked enormous. A few weeks ago when the roof had begun to be installed it looked small again. Today, I went out to take some updated photos. I stood in what will become the gathering area that is now framed and thought to myself what a wonderful space for a group of students to meet and learn. I walked the halls of the new clinic area (virtual halls since the interior walls are not all up yet) and thought, “How are we ever going to fill all this space.” In the end, I am not worried about filling the space, as we all know you never have enough space because you can always find something to fill it with.

 It seems with the snow on the ground and temps projected to fall into the single digits, that we may never see the completed project. But I’m assured that just in time for the spring melt we will have a wonderful new facility to call home. It really is taking shape and watching the progress and being a part of the growth is really something special. I’m happy to be able to share it with you.
