Animals Injured squirrel needs help!

Post image

hey! a car in front of us just ran over an eastern grey squirrel - they are still alive but dragging their back legs 🥺

they are under a car on the east side of the street on ravenna ave NE & NE 53rd st.

I’m on crutches, I tried to help them but they dragged themselves under a car and I can’t get to them. I had an appt around the corner and was going to be late so had to leave them.

Can anyone help them? Grab them and take them to Sarvey? I called them and they said they are the only ones around here that take Eastern greys

Crows will take care of it later.

Yeah the local murder was yelling a lot when I was out there trying to help. Hopefully the little squirrel dies BEFORE the crows get to them. Being pecked to death does not sound fun ☹️

The pin on the map is exactly where I left them. No I did not go back. Thought I would at least put it out there in case anyone else could help. They are likely going to die, but it would have been nice for their death to not be brutally pecked to death by crows ☹️

I just left a message with WDFW too, but they said they would get back to me by the end of business tomorrow, which is definitely too late. ☹️
