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 March 6th event with help from several other area organizations including Reptile Rescue of Wisconsin, Fox Valley Ferret Shelter, Fox-Wolf Watershed Alliance, Winnebago Waterways, and University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes.

When: 12 noon – 3:00 p.m., March 6, 2021

Where: 1000 Islands Environmental Center located at 1000 Beaulieu Ct, Kaukauna, WI 54130

Accepting: fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants

This program is possible due to our sponsor Festival Foods and their Paw Away Hunger Program.
