Do you have an exotic pet that you are no longer able to care for?
Don't release it into the wild! Instead, you can surrender it at J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue's Exotic Pet Surrender Event on November 1st between 12 PM and 3 PM at the Nature Place located at 789 Myrick Park Dr, La Crosse, WI 54601.
In 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.
Area organizations will be accepting fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants --no questions asked. There will also be animal ambassadors you can meet and learn about, and a photobooth where you can take your picture with a rescued pet!
Domestic pets, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, and chickens are not accepted. Owners of domestic animals should inquire with local pet shelters or rescues for options on rehoming their pets.
Mammals, birds, and reptiles from out of state must be accompanied by a CVI (health certificate).
J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue (JRAAR) is hosting the event with help from several other area organizations including WisCorps, River Alliance of Wisconsin, and University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes.
This event was made possible with the support of our sponsor Petco.
Questions regarding the Exotic Pet Surrender Event can be directed to Macy Yohr of J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue. She can be reached at [email protected]
