Had a baby deer die in my yard overnight (broke my heart) and didn’t know who to call. Googled and took a chance on Southern Wildlife and boy am I glad I did. They were absolutely wonderful, very caring. They came arrived to my home within 2 hours of me calling. And they didn’t charge me and arm and a leg.
