CREATING PUP CATCHERS FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
Over the summer, sta昀昀 and volunteers were busy at work crea}ng and installing
pup catchers for local businesses, as seen above with bats roos}ng behind the
sign of a local karate studio. Pup catchers allow pups who accidentally fall from
their colonies to crawl safely back up to the roost instead of falling to
the ground below. Pup catchers save countless babies every year.
