is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of handicapped, unwanted critters, exotics, farm animals, and wildlife.
Through our adoption program, the rescue is committed to finding loving, forever homes for all the adoptable animals.
Fallin' Pines does not accept dogs or cats.
The downturns in the economy have created uncertain times for everyone. Fallin Pines Critter Rescue along with many other rescue groups has recently experienced a decrease in donations combined with an increase in animals surrendered by owners who feel they can no longer financially support their pets. Please consider adopting a companion animal in need. If you are unable to adopt at this time, financial contributions are much needed as are donations of items on our wish list. We also need volunteers to help with fundraising and grant writing projects. For more information, please call Shirley at (407) 568-7988.
The rescue is signed up with the eBay Giving Works program. This program benefits Fallin' Pines by allowing anyone selling items on eBay to donate 10% to 100% of the sales price to the rescue. For more information, the Fallin' Pines Giving Works page is located here.

The director of Fallin' Pines is a licensed wildlife rehabilitator who has been caring for injured and baby squirrels for many years. If you find a baby squirrel on the ground, and it does not seem to be injured, it is important to first try to reunite the baby with its mother. Put the baby in an open box lined with a T-shirt or similar material and place it under the tree. Mother squirrels can carry their babies back to the nest. Keep away from the area to allow the mother to come down. She will not come down if there are people or pets close by. If the mother does not come for the baby within 2 hours, or the squirrel appears sick or injured, call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for treatment. Do not depend on e-mail - get someone on the phone. You can find a list of rehabilitators here
It is important that you do not feed the baby squirrel anything or try to raise it yourself. Without the proper care, the baby will not survive. Plus, squirrels are wild animals and do not make good pets. They may be cute at first but will become unmanageable as they grow up.
We are looking for a few individuals willing to provide safe release sites for 3 orphaned fawns being raising at the rescue. The ideal release site would be a large, secluded and wooded area where there is no hunting allowed.
For more information about baby squirrels or providing release sites for fawns, please contact Shirley at (407)568-7988.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Donations are tax deductible. Fallin' Pines is a private facility and is not open to the public for tours.
