Wahoo! We are so excited to share that Blue Seal Farm and Home in Brattleboro is now carrying our Opossum Sanctuary boxes! If you're in the store check it out and reach out to us for info, pricing, and delivery.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to our friends at Blue Seal for helping backyard opossums, and as always, for including us in fun events.

Despite the rain and cold, this Sunday's Farm Animal Day at Blue Seal was full of warm and friendly faces and lots of good will towards animals of all shapes and sizes.

If you’ve been seeing more opossums around your yard lately, there’s a good reason: fall is an important season for these remarkable little marsupials.

Long overdue, but a huge thank you and shout out to Vermont Museum of Natural History! Thank you so much for allowing us to release a few opossums in your backyard. I'm sure these girls are LOVING their life in the wild and grateful for the sanctuary and safe space to simply be an opossum. Thank you, thank you!

We are so incredibly grateful to Smithland Pet & Garden Center for hosting New England Opossum this past weekend!

From the moment we arrived, their team went above and beyond, welcoming us with kindness, enthusiasm, and genuine support for wildlife education. It’s clear that their love for animals and community runs deep.

Opportunities like this make such a difference in helping us share the important role opossums play in our ecosystems, and we couldn’t do it without partners like Smithland who open their doors and hearts to us.

Thank you for not just hosting us, but truly championing what we do. We, and the opossums of New England are so lucky to have you in our corner!!
