Summer’s arrival usually signals vacations, barbecues, and long sunny days. But for the team at the Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, it’s also trauma season. This Saturday’s “Wildlife Rehab,” titled “Emotional Rescue,” follows Jan and her crew as they face a surge in injured and orphaned animals needing their expert care.
As the episode title suggests, this isn’t just about bandages and feedings; it’s about the emotional toll that comes with witnessing the fragility of life in the wild. The long hours, difficult decisions, and heartbreaking cases can weigh heavily on even the most seasoned rehabilitators.
“Emotional Rescue” is a window into the dedication and resilience it takes to run a wildlife center, particularly during the demanding summer months. Viewers can expect a front-row seat to the difficult choices the team makes, the triumphs they celebrate, and the quiet moments of compassion that keep them going.
Tune in to National Geographic Wild on Saturday, April 5 at 10:30 PM ET for “Wildlife Rehab: Emotional Rescue.”
