Jason Callahan’s Story.

Jason Callahan has always loved animals and raccoons have always held a special place in his heart. The 2014 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team, Guardians of the Galaxy, includes a very special raccoon hero named Rocket, whose voice is played by none other than Bradley Cooper (American Sniper). After seeing that movie, Jason found his fondness for raccoons running even deeper.

In late February, as a special treat to Jason, at the request of his older brother, James; AIDA allowed Jason to have some interaction with four 8-9 month old raccoons who will be ready for a soft-release later this spring.

This is not a practice we condone or allow with young mammals so close to release.  However, in Jason’s case, this was a ‘special gift for a special guy’!

With a heart as big and kind toward animals as his is; we wanted this to be a great surprise for him. He thanked us in a BIG way with a nice $150 donation toward the care of injured and orphaned raccoons. Thank you Jason for your kindness and generosity toward the other sentient beings with whom we share the planet.
