Rosenthal raised Rose from a cub and has provided shelter for her every year during bear season. Rose has returned every year to her “home” and has given birth to more than a dozen cubs there.
Rose and her broods are not the only animals Rosenthal is tending or has tended to at his farm. He has taken care of white tail deer, racoons, opossums, a fox, (who gave birth to her young in his house), owls, hawks, vultures and more.
While Rosenthal’s goal is to rehab and release all the animals, there are some whose injuries are so severe as to prevent them from surviving on their own in the wild. J. Rosenthal photo
