SUMMARY:Exotic Pet Surrender Event
DESCRIPTION:All questions should be directed to John Moyles of J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue at adoptions@jraar.org. \nIn some areas\, there are no rehoming options for exotic animals such as fish\, birds\, and reptiles. Some pet owners that are unable to care for their pet may think that releasing the animal is the right thing to do\, however\, releasing a pet is harmful for the animal and the environment. Organized by J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue\, this event brings together a collection of area partners that provide rehoming services for exotic pet owners who are no longer able to care for their pets. Area organizations will be accepting fish\, invertebrates\, reptiles\, pet birds\, small mammals\, and plants. Domestic pets\, such as dogs\, cats\, rabbits\, pigs\, and chickens are not accepted. \nCarpenter Nature Center is providing support as a host for this event\, but is not involved with organizing\, and will not be adopting any of the surrendered animals. \n
