Outside of Fredericksburg, Texas, there’s a 35 acre plot of land that might as well be called Dr. Amy Jo’s Wild Habitat. A stroll on these grounds would put you face to face with raccoons, coyotes, cows, foxes, deer, skunks, rescue dogs, and even an African Oryx.

The glue that holds this menagerie together is the soothing presence of veterinarian Dr. Amy Jo Pilmer. “I seem to be able to calm them and they are very comfortable with me,” she reflects. “My thought is because I spend so much time with them.” Many of these animals were either rescued or brought to Amy when they were very young, and in many cases, near death. There was a baby deer that was found unresponsive on the side of the road and needed intravenous feeding to pull through. A Belted Galloway came to her with almost no control of her legs but has healed and grown under her watchful eyes. Numerous sick and ailing shelter dogs have recuperated on her ranch and gone on to find new, loving homes.

Healing seems to come naturally to Dr. Amy Jo and she particularly loves the care and nurturing of baby animals. But she also knows that inevitably those she rehabilitates will grow up and need to move on. “It’s almost heartbreaking … it’s like a kid when they turn 18,” she reflected. “They don’t want or need you anymore and they leave and go off to be their own animal.”

Watch and meet Meatball, Fast Eddie and many of Amy Jo’s other frisky critters and see what day-to-day life is like for a woman who seems to have a life giving touch, no matter what kind of a wild thing comes through her gate.
