Featured Critter 
Willow Willow, a juvenile white dove, came to us covered in feces which made her appear green. She's now a gorgeous white, happy girl who loves her food. She's just starting to coo, after being completely silent for the first two weeks. Willow has learned "Step Up", and will now sit on me for up to 1/2 an hour at a time. She's also enjoying the ability to stretch her beautiful wings. To see other critters in need of homes, click the "Adoptable Critters" button above. Click here for website maintenance issues.

In addition to the pictures in the main "Past Events" Photobucket album, be sure to notice the sub-albums on the lower right of the Photobucket screen. There are so many pictures, it helps to use more than one album to organize them all! Our group was contacted by the crew from the movie Furry Vengeance! The movie is a family comedy, starring Brendan Fraser and Brooke Shields. In the movie, a band of animals battle the efforts of a real estate developer trying to build a new housing community in a wilderness area and end up teaching him a lesson about the environmental consequences of man’s encroachment on nature. We were asked if we would be willing to help promote the movie and educate people about animals and their habitats! Click here to watch an educational segment Michelle did on TV. Tour For Life 2010

Hosting for this webspace is provided by 
Michelle and Amy (our President and Vice President) present educational programs on behalf of A Critter's Chance
throughout the city to public and private organizations. Michelle has obtained the necessary permits to do these programs and to keep the non-releasable wildlife used in the programs.
Amy works under her permit, so that is why one of the two must do the program. The programs focus on information about the animals, ways to help wildlife, and the proper way to care for exotic animals.
If you are interested in having us do a program for your organization, please contact Michelle by using the information on our contact page. To view additional pictures from Michelle's programs, please 
This snapping turtle helps Michelle with her education programs. The poor guy was taken from his home by a family when he was just the size of a quarter. They had him for five years but decided they could no longer keep him. Michelle has worked very hard to be able to return him to the wild, but all he wants is to be petted! This is actually very sad because he is meant to live in nature, not to be a pet. It's not fair to him to be in captivity. While Michelle loves him dearly, she is still attempting to ready him for release. In the meantime, he is happy to be of assistance in educating people about snapping turtles.
We were pleased to be invited to have a booth at the 2011 IUPUI Regatta. We were able to educate a lot of people and show off the critters! For more pictures of this event, please 
There was much fun to be had at our 2011 fundraiser! A Critter's Chance would like to thank "The Mundie's Band" for playing a couple hours of great music!

The 2011 Home and Garden Show was a blast! We enjoyed talking with everyone and promoting A Critter's Chance. We also came up with a great idea to raise donations: the tortoise pillow (shown on right)! There is a pocket in the pillow to hold donations. It was a great success!

The picture to the left is Precious the tortoise with Rainbow the amazon parrot. Both were rescues.
