The Wildlife Rescue Centre in Oudsbergen, Limburg, is well known in Belgium for its expertise in caring for all kinds of critters. It takes in the injured, liberates those who have gotten themselves lodged in sewer pumps or caught up in litter, nurses lost babies and even acts as a halfway house for exotic pets confiscated from households.
But it is also known internationally for its vast experience and dedication, which is why it took receipt this week of one Byara – a brown bear from Russia (

Napa Valley Community Foundation announced the second round of grants from The David and Jane Gotelli Family Fund, which was created through a generous bequest from the late David and Jane Gotelli to support small animals in Napa Valley.
The Gotellis were longtime Napa residents who both passed away at age 87. The endowed fund creates a permanent income stream to support yearly grants to organizations dedicated to the health, welfare, humane treatment and adoption and care of small animals.
The first round of grants totaling $115,000 from the fund was disbursed in 2020 to seven organizations.
Grants for 2021 have been made to 10 nonprofit organizations and public agencies whose missions are to improve or sustain the welfare of small animals throughout Napa County, including: Friends of Napa County Animal Shelter; Humane Society of Napa County & SPCA Inc.
