I Rescue Exotic Animal Species

ADVERTISEMENT

I started doing exotic species rescue 11 years ago. I have always had reptiles and other exotic animals in my life and I found that there were not many rescues out there to help these types of pets. Most exotics rescues were either people trying to acquire animals for breeding or re-sale, or people who were just trying to build up their private pet collections and were not rescues at all. I figured that, since I had the enclosures, I might as well try and help a few animals. Well, that simple thought has turned into something that is both wonderful and overwhelming.

At any given time there are over 200 animals here at the rescue, of differing species and size. Animals in my care range from the tiny and cute sugar glider to Simon the 200 plus pound Burmese python. Many of the animals here have had very bad lives and would not be taken in by other rescues. As a matter of fact, many of the worse off animals were given to me by other rescues. From dogs, lizards and ducks that are missing limbs, to snakes with no eyes, to our blind and deaf opossum ray, all animals are loved and given a permanent home with us until the perfect home can be found for them.

Thank you for doing this. My fiancé and I care for a leopard tortoise, pacman frog, green cheeck conure and 2 clownfish. These pets are in no way easy to care for but we have always done our research and made sure we were mentally and financially prepared to care for them. I hate when people impulse buy animals then they realize they can't actually care for them.

They are beautiful creatures and you're a godsend to them. More people need to realise that animals of all species need rescued

Thank you for doing what you do! I care for the black kitties. All were found starving and came to me at different times in my life.

They are a handful but they are my responsibility. I detest when people get animals and then toss them aside.
