Berkshire Bird Sanctuary continues to rebuild its safe haven for animals in need

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:40:33 GMT

PETERSBURGH, N.Y. (NEWS10) — The Berkshire Bird Sanctuary has been around for over 50 years and has saved thousands of animals. Peter Dubacher started the sanctuary with his father after serving as a Vietnam War soldier. He says that creating the sanctuary helped him while he struggled with PTSD after the war.“One of the things that really helped me was to be around animals,” he said. “And back in that time, it was during the Vietnam War… There were a lot of soldiers that came back and had different problems.”But he says the sanctuary helped him refocus his energy on helping wildlife. The organization has saved thousands of animals from around the country and beyond.In 2009, the sanctuary was able to save an eagle who lost his wing during the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. And he continues to get calls about animals needing a safe haven.“I’m a firm believer that every life is precious,” he said.
