00:00Her little calls to her mom, the amount of cars that drove past, it was just devastating.
00:06Luckily, an experienced rescuer named Vicky spotted them and immediately stopped to help.
00:10When Vicky found her, she was already outside the pouch, huddled beside her mom and desperately trying to wake her
00:15up.
00:18Vicky sat quietly nearby and gently called out to Hope so that she could slowly earn her trust.
00:45Hope received a full veterinarian examination before going into care with the very person who rescued her.
00:51And this is exactly the kind of emergency Vets for Compassion responds to every single day.
00:56The veterinarian-led non-profit rescues all kinds of animals, from pets to wildlife to even farm animals.
01:04But in Melbourne, Australia, much of their work focuses on macropods, such as kangaroos and wallabies.
01:09There's an animal in need and no one else is able to help and then we fill that gap.
01:18Once an animal is safe, the team ensures that each animal receives veterinarian care.
01:23Those animals that are needing more time to recover are placed with experienced carers until they're ready to return to
01:28the wild.
01:29It's so important that they check wildlife that has been hit by a car.
01:33Check if it's a female and check if it has a joey in its pouch because those little joeys and
01:37those little babies can be saved and they have a second chance at life.
01:42And Hope is the perfect example for that.
01:44Her story is an important reminder.
01:46If you see an animal who has been hit by a car, please safely contact Wildlife Rescue Services, even if
01:52the animal has appeared to pass away.
01:53There could still be a baby nearby or inside her pouch who has a chance to survive.
01:58Because for Hope, one person stopping was all it took to give her a second chance.
02:02Not an animal who canuyu minority the world so sadly doesn'tjan go.
02:05Perhaps she can be a horse or sinner who can sell it anywhere.
02:06Pray if she can.
02:06Pray if she can.
02:06Wait if she can.
02:09Because hope is a good place.
