About Us

We began rescuing animals in 2015, taking in the odd reptile as needed. However, at the start of Covid the surrender requests skyrocketed and we decided to tackle the problem head-on and make a charitable organization and rescue dedicated to reptiles.

As of 2024, we have 2 members on our Board of Directors, nearly 40 foster homes, and have helped hundreds of animals find new homes.

Animals Helped

In 2021 we helped 112 animals have a second chance at life, that is 1 animal every 3 days!

In 2022 we helped 186 animals find new homes, that is 1 animal every 2 days!

2023 was met with an overwhelming amount of surrender requests. We received over 1500 surrender requests by November, with only 11 adoptions for the entire year.

As of Feb 2024, we have put surrenders on hold as we are desperately trying to keep up with demand. Additionally, donations have taken a large hit due to the rising cost of living across the country.
