Mark
Dallyn
Mark's passion for wildlife started at a young age and quickly grew over the years. Wildlife has always been a part of Mark's life. His exposure to wildlife at a young age has taught him a great deal of respect for nature and wildlife and his education in Veterinary Technology & Wildlife Rehabilitation has given him the necessary skills to help these creatures in their time of need.
His future in rescuing and rehabilitating wildlife officially started in 2001 with an American Crow named Chester. Since then he has successfully rehabilitated hundreds of injured and orphaned animals. From Crows, Ravens, Robins, Sparrows, Goslings, Owls, to Bats, Ducklings, Squirrels, Deer, Black Bears and much much more, Mark has left a lasting impact on Northwest Saskatchewan's wildlife.
Sherri Friedrich
Sherri is Mark’s very close cousin so, growing up together, they shared the same passion for animals and nature. Sherri has always been happy to help out with Healing Haven no matter the distance. After spending four and a half years in Saskatoon to complete her degree, she moved back to Meadow Lake at the end of 2014. She is glad to be back because she loves being able to spend more time helping out at the Haven!
Most of Sherri’s experience with wildlife came from working at the local vet clinic back in 2002-2006, where she was able to assist in caring for a few wildlife patients, including mainly songbirds and a few predatory birds. She hopes to get her training in Basic Wildlife Rehabilitation the next time it is offered in Saskatchewan. Sherri currently serves as the Vice-President on the Healing Haven Board of Directors.
A lifelong love of animals and a passion for helping others has lead Jillian into the world of wildlife rehabilitation. Inspired by Mark's passion, Jillian completed Wildlife Rehabilitation Training in 2012.
Besides owning/operating Critter Comforts In-Home Pet Sitting, a business that cares for animals, Jillian devotes a great deal of her time to the Meadow Lake and District Humane Society. She has been volunteering with the organization since 2005, and currently serves as Board President. She has also opened up her heart and home to several foster animals over the years. Through this charitable work, Jillian has played an important role in helping find forever homes for Meadow Lake's orphaned animals.
Jillian strives to make a difference in the lives of animals, both domesticated and wild!
