Help us save the lives of reptiles out there by donating now.
Our organization is family orientated and there is plenty of love, care, and room for more reptiles. We are working hard to fulfill the need for homes out there. We are accepting reptiles of all kinds. We are serving the State of Wisconsin.
Our team members have owned reptiles and other pets for several years. It is this experience that helps us as rescuers to provide the upmost care for the reptiles we receive.
Every animal deserves love, respect, compassion, care and time. We provide all of these things and much more to the reptiles we are taking in. We know that reptiles take more time and understanding than other animals to adjust to new environments.
We are saving the lives of so many reptiles from Wisconsin and other states.
Our purpose is to provide the necessary nutrition, habitat, and medical needs of the reptiles being rescued. These reptiles will be thoroughly checked over for health concerns and determinations for veterinary services.
Each animal that comes in will be identified and housed according to species and specific needs. In general, most humane societies will not accept reptiles because of their special needs and care.
Ball Pythons
Iguanas
Bearded Dragons
Geckos
Kingsnakes
Corn Snakes
Milk Snakes
Boas
Frogs
Newts
Tortoises
Turtles
...Just to name a few.
