| We
now have a representative in the Pittsburg area.
So If you need to find a home for your reptile Or would like to adopt one
of our current reptiles please fell free to contact us here at EPARR and
we will have our Pittsburg representative contact you ASAP.
Why
we are doing this?
There
are many organizations to take in sick or unwanted dogs and cats. Yet
there is nothing for reptiles. So our goal is to take in unwanted reptiles
for whatever reason too big, too expensive to feed, or if the person is
just tired of taking care of them. Basically what we are doing is
giving the public an outlet for getting rid of their unwanted reptiles
without dumping them off at the local pet shop, or worse releasing them
into the wild. This causes new ordinances and local laws, making it harder
for serious keeper to acquire and house the reptiles they want to keep.
What
will we do with the reptile we take in?
They
will be kept for a while to ensure good health. Then they will be adopted
out to qualified people willing to give them good homes.
What
reptiles will we take in?
Any
and all snakes, lizards, amphibians, if it needs a home large or small. We
will even consider some venomous. Meaning the ones we have experience
with. Sorry we have no more room
for any iguanas or water turtles!
Who
can help? Everyone!
How
you can help?
We do not accept donations of any kind. We do this strictly as a hobby in
our spare time and have no plans of turning it into a second job so to
speak. We love what we do and plan to keep it that way. Going with a 501c3
would not benefit us. We have found keeping up with that will just take
time away from the reptile we care for. We also do not charge an adoption
fee.
We
are also looking for a few more volunteers to represent Eastern Pa Reptile
Rescue throughout Pennsylvania.
We are looking for people to interview possible adoptee. Also to pick up
and hold reptiles till we can make arrangements to pick them up or hold
them till they are adopted if possible. If you are interested in helping
out please contact me though email with details about yourself, the areas
you would be willing to service, your experience, and knowledge. We will
then set up a meeting time if possible and go from there.
Our goal here is to expand our network throughout Pennsylvania and
Maryland. This way we can be more efficient at taking in and placing
reptiles. So come join our team and lets make a difference in the reptile
community with education, compassion, and a little time. I believe we can
make a huge difference in the way people choose their reptiles and also
care for them. There are too many reptiles are being released and
mistreated due to lack of education. It is time for a change.
This is a private venture.
The organization will be run out of our home. We do not have sponsors or
financial backers. This venture is all out of pocket. You can find some
educational information on the larger snakes and lizards in our care
sheets. It consists of care, housing, and your responsibility as a reptile
owner.
