Betta Fish Rescue

Our Introduction

Betta Fish Rescue is a private charitable organization (seeking 501(c)(3) status) founded in July 2020. We obtain our fish from classified ads, online forums, and sometimes from big-box pet stores. We do our best to never pay for fish but to save them from a life of misery. Sometimes we have to expend funds to rehabilitate our rescued fish. However, we typically cover these costs from donations that we receive and don’t pass on the costs to the adoptive parents. However, we do charge a small adoption fee of $30 per fish. You can also purchase Betta FIsh Rescue merchandise, stat-up kits (includes new tank, decorations, fish food, water conditioner, etc.) from our online store. Any profits obtained from the sale of these items will go directly back into our fish rescue.

By providing these fish with a healthier and a larger living environment, medical treatments, quality food, and loads of time and love, we can help them regain their health and confidence. Collaboratively they can become the best betta that they can be, so they can then enjoy a full and vibrant life with their new adoptive family members. If you love bettas as much as we do, we hope you’ll join our charitable cause. At Betta Fish Rescue, we specialize in transforming deathly ill fish, who have lost the will to live.
