Sam here. I saved a baby squirrel last week after it fell from its nest unharmed, thanks to a nifty contraption I put together when I saw it hanging.

I wasn’t sure what to do with it after I put it in a box and got its temperature back up with a warm bottle — thanks, Google.

With temperatures beginning to drop, some furry friends may begin to confuse your house with theirs. If that happens to you, or you come across an injured animal, here are three local places you can call around Columbia for rehabilitation.
