Abandoned opossum
Our German Shepherd knocked the mother off the top of our back yard fence. Fortunately, I saw it happen and told her to leave it alone. She did, because she's a good girl, but the mother opossum left this baby behind. Then, our dog brought the baby up to the porch for us >.<
Fortunately, I was able to find a local wildlife rescue in my area (about 30 min from me), and they were able to take it and pair it up with a rescued mother that they already had with babies the same size.

Little dude broke into the pet store
He came running in around 11am. He took up residence under a shelf. We are using a humane cat trap and some kitty food to hopefully catch him tonight with little stress. Any tips on how to release him? Should we keep him within a certain distance? Should we release him right away or wait until evening? Thanks in advance!

This possum is making me sad
It looks old or sick and I feel bad. Its fur is very patchy and like half bald (not very visible in the pics, i just put those for the sake of showing pictures at all,) it walks very slowly and kind of limping/off balance, its eyes look very wet and I know possums can't cry but it makes me wanna cry when he looks like he's crying. But I can't really do anything, right? It's a wild animal and it's not like i can just walk up to it, so I'm sad that I can't help it. Also it got bit twice by the smaller possum in the other pics, I tried scaring them away to stop that but I don't know. This is very upsetting to me in my normally sensitive and currently sleep deprived state. I wanna help all the animals and he's so sad and I can't even do anything. I hope it's not actually old cuz I'm gonna sob if there's a sad elderly possum getting beat up on my porch. I've had some of the regular possums die too so this is just making me think of them which is also sad.
