We're used to extreme animal rescues in Arizona – from wild horses to owls and wild cats. But, this was a first for even the trained experts. Not one, but two wallabies!
But a wallaby? That's a first.She takes us into the pen with not just one but two.The video shows a Maricopa County Sheriff's deputy wrapping a black plastic fence around the tree with the help of Buccigrosse.
They slowly coaxed the animal, named Walley, into the fence. At one point, the wallaby jumped high but was contained."They originated from the Czech Republic, shipped to Texas based on shipping labels on boxes, ended up in Arizona and ended up in an auction. The previous owners had the best interest in them getting them out of that auction," Buccigrosse said.Buccigrosse is happy they rescued these two and gave them a home and the proper veterinary care they need.
"They are wild animals and I think it's so important people realize it because for these little guys, they're under a year old and have already been in 5 different homes. That's a lot," she said. Since the news has come out that these two are in Arizona, Buccigrosse says they've gotten phone calls from people offering to buy them.
She's not accepting the offers because this is their forever home, but if you would like to reach out to support them, you can donate here
