Additional Resources

Occasionally, we may not be able to accept your animal. This may be for many reasons, including being at capacity, not having the proper resources, or not having the proper experience. Thank you for your understanding. 

Even though we cannot take them in, we still want to help! Here are some options. 

• Do not release them under any circumstances! As much as it seems like the easiest option, it is very cruel for both your animal and the environment.

• Click here to read more about why releasing your turtles is unethical.  This applies to other species as well.

• Post on local Facebook groups, there are many specifically for reptiles. The best place to start is Forgotten Friends Facebook page.

• Reach out to other reptile rescues such as Heart Reptile Rescue and Sanctuary or Moonlit Jungle

• If none of these are an option, feel free to message us and we will try to offer other solutions. 

Thank you very much!
