Name: DuWayne Moberg

Organization:
Fund for Animals

Years volunteering:
Four years

The scope of my volunteer work:
My duties at the Fund for Animals Wildlife Rehabilitation Center include helping to restrain animals and birds during the initial examination when they are received. When the opportunity arises, I get to help capture injured or sick animals and transport them to the rehabilitation facility. I also help clean enclosures and feed the animals. I get to help release animals back into the wild after they have been rehabilitated. Further, I get to help build new enclosures and help maintain the property and enclosures.

My first (or favorite) pet was:
A cat named Patches

The animal I am most like:
Mountain lion, because of our shared beauty and grace

The animal I would take to:

  • The Oscars: Tiger
  • Meet my parents: Coyote
  • To the movies: Bobcat
  • On a trip around the world: Cat

My inspiration:
Tiger

The most rewarding aspect of volunteering is:
Caring for and releasing animals back to the wild

The most challenging:
When they cannot be saved

The moment I knew it was all worth it:
The first time I was involved in the release of animals that had been saved and returned to the wild. It happened to be coyotes and it was a pure pleasure to see them run out of the transport cages and run free, in the wild, as they were meant to do.

In a perfect world:
Man would let animals alone to live their lives as nature intended.

In my world:
Strive to educate others in the benefits of co-living with wild animals.
