Grant money is out there, but we won’t get it if we don’t apply for it. Grant writers help us create relationships with those who have money to give, and they take the time to work through the various processes necessary to apply for the grants. They also report on the uses of the money awarded. If you have at least three hours to give each week and would be interested in filling this need, please contact us.

About The Muscovy Sanctuary of Florida
Location:
12818 Raysbrook Drive, Riverview, FL 33569, US
Mission Statement
We are a team of volunteers who rescue, transport, foster, and care for injured and abandoned Muscovy ducks and ducklings. Once we have the ducks checked for injury and illness, we move them on to the sanctuary, where they live out the rest of their lives.
Description
The Situation
You found three cute, little Muscovy ducklings wandering around on the sidewalk peeping their little heads off. They lost their mom, and you can’t find her anywhere.
Obviously, you can’t leave them out there all alone, so you scoop them up and put them in a box with a towel in the bottom and keep them warm. Now, what do you do? You can’t keep them; you aren’t equipped to raise three ducks. You find out about a veterinarian in the area who will take the ducklings. Problem solved.
Unfortunately, taking them to a vet would result in their euthanasia; rehabbers don't deal with them because they aren't indigenous, and leaving them would cause them to likely die.
Enter the Muscovy Sanctuary of Florida, a place where Muscovy ducklings can safely grow and thrive without the fear of being killed. We are a non-profit organization created to take in those Muscovy ducklings that veterinarians and wildlife rehabbers don’t want.
