Habitattitude Exotic Pet Surrender, La Crosse WI May 15

Do you have an exotic pet that you are no longer able to care for? 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.

The Habitattitude Exotic Pet Surrender Event brings together a collection of area rehoming partners that provide responsible alternatives to release for exotic pet owners who are no longer able to care for their pets. J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue (JRAAR) is hosting the May 15th event with help from area organizations, including the North American Invasive Species Management Association, and University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes.

 

When: 12 noon – 3:00 p.m., May 15, 2021
