The Rescue Committee exists to
establish recommendations for those wishing to be involved in or serve as a hedgehog
rescue.
Goal: The HWS Rescue Committee is working to help remove hedgehogs from
unacceptable conditions and place them in loving, nurturing homes. The Rescue Committee
strives to reduce the number of unwanted, neglected, and abused hedgehogs by supporting
the Advocacy Committee and its goals. The Rescue Committee supports the Health and
Education Committee in its goals to increase the awareness of hedgehog needs.

The Rescue Committee will:
|
• |
Assist in the location of veterinarians for
people who have hedghogs that need medical attention, and to act as a go-between, when
necessary, to discuss with them what treatments are necessary and to arrange for payment
or partial payment of the bill (if this is a situation that merits funding.) |
|
|
| • |
Help arrange or assist with transportation to
get a hedgehog in need from point A to point B (hedgie train.) |
|
|
| • |
Offer support to people who have these
hedgehogs; whether it be moral support, education on the care of their hedgehog, arranging
for them to recieve a care package through our organization and the Carolina Hedgehog
Society, or to provide information on where they can obtain whatever else they might need. |
|
|
| • |
Provide as extensive a list as possible of folks
willing to take in rescues and their geographic location. |
|
|
| • |
Work with the Health Research and Education
Committee to provide care sheets to new owners as well as vets, shelters and humane
societies. |
