SURRENDER
We understand things change for various reasons leaving you looking for a safe and responsible home for your reptile, amphibian or invertebrate. Rehoming and vetting strangers is stressful and time consuming. Perhaps consider our Boarding Program if you simply cannot care for your pet for a short time but wish to bring them home again. If not, we accept many as a surrender.
Notes:
- We do not blindly accept all animals.
- We do not accept sick or injured animals requiring veterinary attention. Please contact ERAS RAFT.
- Do not drop off at our store unannounced.
- A surrender form must be filled out on arrival.
- There is currently no fee to surrender.
- We do not pay or offer any credit in exchange.
- We will find a suitable new home for the animal once we deem it appropriate to do so.
- No aquatic turtles, large or live fed snakes.
Have You Been Ordered to Evacuate?
We are open to receive reptiles, amphibians or invertebrates for temporary free boarding for those ordered to evacuate due to wildfires.
- Proof of residency from an evacuated area is mandatory.
- Supplies and food is appreciated to be brought in, if possible.
- We cannot accept aquatic turtles, large or live fed snakes.
Donations
Reptile supplies such as front opening terrariums, light domes, bulbs, Arcadia UVB kits, food dishes, hides, enrichment decorations or cash are greatly appreciated!
We do not receive government funding for this program and often animals still need to be taken to a vet for health checks or medical complications which may arise after being surrendered.
