Hello, Tonight we found an injured mourning dove on the bank of our creek. When we went to pick it up and move it away from our dog - she hopped in my husbands' hands. We have her in a dark bathroom - she has perched on the edge of the basket we placed her in. Reading other posts on your site - I need to find a rescue group to take her to tomorrow - we are in Cumming, GA. ANy suggestions as to what we can do???? My 6 year old is already EXTREMELY attached!

Just to add...
if the above does not take Doves, ask her for a referral. The sooner the better as it sounds like the Dove does need help. For a wild bird to be so tame is really not normal.
You must know that it isn't legal for you to keep the Dove as it is a protected species.
