Hope For Wildlife: The Next Generation

Count down to the annual deer release, which could get shut down if a government inspection doesn't go according to plan. Watch the staff scramble to help a hawk with a broken beak and vaccinate the raccoon unit against a potentially deadly virus.

Feel the excitement as the team releases a pair of rehabbed grey seals just in time to welcome another orphaned duo. Cope with an early spring baby boom and watch Hope call in the big guns when a Canada goose shows up covered in porcupine quills.

Get to know seven beloved wildcats (including one who was caught in a trap) who can't wait to be released into their new home. Then rush to quarantine a pair of fox cubs who've arrived at the rehab clinic with a suspected case of avian flu.

Chase down a weasel and her tiny kittens who have gone AWOL at the rehab. Hold your breath as Dr, Mikaela performs a rare medical procedure on a raccoon's injured tail, then meet Hope's new otter friend and the tiniest beaver the team has ever seen.

Scramble as the staff tries to find a place for each of the orphaned skinks, raccoons and groundhogs that are streaming through the rehab's doors. Then deal with the deadly side of the spring as the team tries to save a hare wounded by a weed whacker.

Observe a pair of white, piebald fawns that pose a big rehab challenge. Check out an albino skunk displaced by flash floods, see Dr Mikaela race to save a parasite-infected chipmunk, and monitor a groundhog fighting for its life after a dog attack.
