Judy Obregon is a n opossum expert, she knows them once she sees them. There is an opossum that visits her porch regularly.
While she was driving down her block on February 20 heading to meet her mother-in-law at her house, she stopped when she saw what she first thought to be a dead opossum in the middle of the road.
Until the little opossum lifted her head up and looked straight to
Obregon's eyes as she knows exactly she is the perfect one to ask for help.
" I knew I could not walk away, " she said.
As being the founder of
The Abandoned Ones "Saving Animal In Danger" animal rescue in Forth Worth, Texas,
Obregon has rescued dogs mainly from a popular dog-fight area in her city. Yet, if she find any animal that in a desperate need for help, regardless its species, she would step up and show in the scene to take action.
That exactly what she did with the pregnant opossum!
Obregon got out of her car and headed straight where the pregnant opossum stayed. She noticed a trail of blood from a driveway of the poor opossum where a bloody stick lay next to her.
Obregon's anticipation told her the opossum hadn't been hit by a car, she was clearly carrying her babies.
The pregnant opossum kept trying to overcome her suffering, she was struggling to lift her head up and tried her best to move. That's where
Obregon's role came, she gently pushed the opossum out of the road to prevent her from being hit by a car.
Obregon wanted to make sure the opossum was fine.
"I put the box down to see if the opossum would crawl into it," Obregon said. "I put it in front of her and used my hands to guide her into the box."
The staff of wildlife help arrived:
"It was so emotional," Obregon said. "I do rescue work all the time, but to see another rescuer do what I do was so heartwarming."
Tabatha took the opossum and didn't find any broken bones or heavy bleeding.
"I could tell on evaluation of her that she was struck, and I'm pretty sure she was shot with a BB gun, Tabatha said. "There were about four teeth that were damaged and a spot on the roof of her mouth where the BB hit. Since there was no exit wound, Angel most likely swallowed the BB"
Once you watch the opossum's video and photos, you will fell so grateful and thankful for her rescuers the same way she feels.
