We strive for no fawn left to die, alone and scared.

Hello! My name is Warren Short, founder of Short's Fawn Rescue.
Together with my wife, Lynn, we provide life-saving services for displaced, injured, and orphaned fawns.
Why is this needed?
Because human expansion is steadily destroying wildlife habitat. And more animals are being injured and killed as a result of being forced to live amongst us. Fawns are being hit by cars, getting entangled in fences, and being mauled by dogs, etc. It's only right that we should help these fawns the best we can.
Short’s Fawn Rescue is a 501 C(3) nonprofit organization serving Lapeer County area.
We are licensed as a rescue by the Michigan DNR.
Our work is very rewarding, but the days are long and exhausting, both physically and emotionally. Not only do we care for the animals, but we provide education and enrichment classes. We hold events, meet with people about fawns in need, attend classes to continue our own education, and more.
"More" includes raising the needed funds to cover the cost of formula, feed, medical supplies and veterinary services, as well as the equipment required (incubators, quarantine areas, barns, pens, etc.) It is expensive and there is no monetary compensation from state or federal sources available.
Without the kindness and generosity of caring people, the work we do simply would not be possible.
Please take a look around our website and fall in love with fawns - as we have done.
We believe that you, too, will become a friend of the fawns!
Thank you and please consider donating!
