Weber's Rescue, Rehab & Release
Weber the local celebrity duck at Rancho Santa Margarita Lake was seen with injuries by lake visitors. With the help of SAMLAC (Rancho Santa Margarita Landscape and Recreation Corporation), Mission Viejo Animal Services Officers were able to get a hold of the injured duck in the middle of the lake. Weber was taken to Animal Urgent Care of South Orange County where he was rehabilitated and even fostered until he was fully recovered. He was then reunited with his duck friends at the lake. His friends happily greeted him when he arrived and together they all went for a celebratory swim!
This happy ending would have not been possible without the generous contribution of Animal Urgent Care, which donated the duck's medical services including surgery as well as his wonderful foster mom.
