Our ability to rescue and rehabilitate reptiles and permanently house our Animal Ambassadors depends on donors like you. We rely on donations to help pay for care expenses, and gladly accept monetary gifts as well as supplies. Your donations go directly towards helping reptiles - some of our regular expenses include veterinary visits, food, supplements, and bedding. Any supplies that we cannot directly use will be either sold to help fund the rescue or donated to other sanctuaries.
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. This means donations - including in-kind donations - are tax-deductible!
We like to acknowledge every donation with a thank you letter - please include your mailing address with your donation.
