 Our goal is to provide permanent homes for reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates that were originally obtained through the pet trade. All too often these animals are purchased without consideration of what the animals' husbandry and nutritional requirements are, costs involved, size the animal will get, or the temperament of the animals and eventually they become "unwanted pets".
 With several decades of combined experience in caring for such animals, it is our mission to provide homes for them with people who are knowledgeable when it comes to proper care. More importantly, we provide educational services using our animals to inform the public about these wonderful creatures, to hopefully dispell any myths about them, and to teach others to respect ALL creatures great and small, whether they have fur or scales, eight legs or none at all, fangs or teeth, walk or slither. These educational exhibits give children and adults the chance to meet and touch exotic animals and to learn about them in a fun "hands on" fashion. These are necessary services that all rescue facilities should offer to aid in protecting (by educating the public) the very species that are rescued.
