    Deer adopted by a vet and lives indoors

    This is my local vet. Dr. Lee is my main vet but Dr. Butera, featured in this story, is my local vet whose office is less than 10 minutes away from me.

    Here in RI, you need a special license to keep a "wild" animal as a pet, indoors or out.

    I do hope the publicity doesn't get him in trouble!

    same here in TN, I think. Although one of my vets did end up with a fawn that lost it's leg after getting mangled in a barbed wire fence. If anyone asked, he just said he had a 3 legged goat, LOL.

    A lot of vets are also licensed wildlife rehabbers.
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    I'm thinking that's the case w/this vet. She's been doing this sort of thing for years and she has a jar in her lobby for donations b/c she rescues any type of animal. She and her husband live on a farm.
