Creature feature! Our friendly corn snake Strawberry here has been with the rescue for a couple of years. She first came to us severely egg bound but after a successful surgery, she's been thriving.

She's been a wonderful ambassador animal at several expos but it's long past time for her to get her own home.

For more information or to obtain an application, please contact our page.

Update: thank you everyone. Beef has found a new foster home. For anyone interested in adopting or fostering any of the rescue animals, please message us or fill out the application

HREF is seeking an experienced foster home for a troubled bearded dragon. Beef came to us with the group of dragons in an abandoned house. He's older than the babies and likely hasn't had a lot of experience with people. He's very scared of humans.

For that reason, we're looking for a foster home able to provide a quiet, low traffic area for him to stay. His current foster home has a lot of people in the house which is causing him stress. The ideal foster home would be with someone willing to work patiently with him, without being afraid of him and being able to provide a room where there are no free roam pets, kids, lots of foot traffic, etc.

If you're interested in helping Beef, please contact us for more information.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Doris' passing. Doris was the first bearded dragon to come into our rescue, and her journey with us was nothing short of inspiring. Despite facing numerous health challenges, Doris showed unwavering strength and resilience. She was a true fighter in every sense of the word.

Doris taught us the power of determination and the importance of never giving up. Her sweet nature and courage touched the hearts of everyone who met her. From battling infections to undergoing surgeries, Doris faced each obstacle with bravery and grace.

Today, we say goodbye to a beloved member of our rescue family. Doris will always hold a special place in our hearts and will forever be remembered for her spirit and tenacity. She has been a driving force behind our mission to rescue and rehabilitate reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids in need.

Rest easy, sweet angel. Your legacy will live on in the work we do and the lives you have touched. Farewell for now, Doris. You will be deeply missed."

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Currents Veterinary Centre for helping Doris in her final moments today. You guys are amazing and we can’t thank you enough for the love and compassion you have for the clients you serve.

I would also like to thank Harvest Pointe Animal Hospital for everything you’ve done for Doris, the surgeries and the excellent care you have always provided to us.
