How does Bushbubs Wildlife Shelter support wildlife and their habitat?
Over the last 20 years I have rescued and rehabilitated many animals. I mainly do Wallabies (both Swamp and Redneck).
I have infrastructure to take juvenile joey’s right up through to release here on the property. I also have housing to care for possums and sugar gliders. On the occasion I also care for wombat joeys if there are no other shelters that can take them.
I am mainly on my own caring for the small joeys but I do receive some help if I need.

Lend a paw by purchasing a Wombaroo Gift Voucher for Carlisle River Wildlife Shelter.
For many wildlife rehabilitators, having access to life-saving food or equipment is often a necessity they struggle to afford. These dedicated individuals devote their lives to assisting wildlife, typically funding their efforts themselves and covering costs for baby formula, medicine, and supplies from their own pockets. Unfortunately, they receive little to no government support for their crucial work. By providing these vouchers, you empower rehabilitators to continue their invaluable work, offering second chances to animals in need.Use the email address at checkout: bushbubs01@gmail.com
