🙊 This runs the ENTIRE month of May. Isn’t that so cool?

🌍 This Earth Day, a message from Dr. Jane Goodall: “Treat every day of the year as Earth Day.”

From the power of young changemakers to the resilience of nature and the choices we make each day — Jane reminds us that hope inspires action, and action brings change.

Swipe through for words of wisdom from Jane’s 2025 Earth Day message, and remember: it’s up to us — all of us — to protect the only home we have.

🚿 When was the last time you took a shower?
We are home to reptiles from both tropical and desert regions, and have to cater to both atmospheric needs. For the tropical critters, we shower them and their inclosure regularly, to keep the humidity at a healthy level. Persephone, our boa constrictor, is native to tropical South America, where she needs 55-75% humidity. So, as you can imagine, our hair gets pretty frizzy when we take care of her enclosure! 🤣

🌲 Will we see you this Saturday, April 26th at the Cattus Island Nature Festival?
🐾 This will always be a very special event to us, as two animal loving nature activists met at this exact event in 2022, and founded the nonprofit that made the post you’re currently reading. We love animals, we love the earth, we love you, and hope to celebrate nature together this weekend!

Hades has been settling in quite well! He’s an exploratory little guy, who is FAST 💨. If we don’t have eyes on him, he’s gone in seconds. Hades is still a biting machine, but once he realizes we don’t mean any harm and just want to hang out, he’s happy to be held 🖤

🐢🦜 LETS GET WILD AT Papa Ganache!
📍Saturday, May 3rd, we’re partnering with Papa Ganache for a day of animal welfare and tasty treats. This fundraiser takes place at the Matawan bakery from 10AM-2PM.
🧁Vegan animal themed pastries, animal education, activities, and a chance to win a Mother’s Day basket! 50% of all animal themed treats sold will be donated back to the animals!
🫂 We love community, so much. Recently, we were speaking with Lisa about our dreams of opening up a larger scale exotic animal sanctuary one day, and how it’s been difficult to fundraise for the present, let alone the future. With her kind heart and brilliant mind, this idea was born.
🍪 We hope to see you guys on May 3rd, as it’s another day to celebrate the animals and have fun🤍. Love you all.

👋Meet our new resident, Hades!
This gentleman is a California King, about a year old, and wears his sassy pants 24/7. Seriously, his sassy pants never come off, he is so sassy.
Hades has minor behavioral issues, and loves to bite. If you’re familiar with Cali Kings, then you know for the most part, they will bite everything and anything. Hades, on the other hand, just likes to bite our fingers and hands. We took him in last night, and he showed us love with many, many bites. With more handling and socializing, this behavior should slow down. He also experiences obstacles with eating, which is first and foremost, something we will work on.
🖤 Hades came to us from a close friend of ours. He was part of this dear friend’s life—a cherished companion—until an unexpected and life-changing accident made it extraordinarily challenging for them to continue providing care. With a heavy heart, they entrusted us with their beloved snake, and we are honored to carry that love forward. So honored.
🥰 Please join us in welcoming Hades to our refuge, his sassy challenged self fits right in with what we do and who we are. We love you, Hades!

🚨 Have you heard?! New rescue alert!!!
This rescue was kept under wraps for quite some time and we’re now ready to share it. If you can believe it, we’re officially the first people to capture Bigfoot. We know, we know, crazy. No, you can’t visit him. Yes, this is totally real.
Perhaps this is an April Fools joke, but we won’t confess to anything.

Hey 👋 As you guys know, we stopped doing animal intake quite some time ago due to myself having health issues. We’re happy to say that now we are opening back up for intake and adoptions, in addition to running our nonprofit micro-sanctuary!
🫶🏼 As previously known, surrender intake is limited by space and species. This means we will help the animals we can help, in a responsible timeframe and capacity. We work out of a measurable space and have to be mindful of our physical animal capacity. We may have a waitlist for surrenders, while we wait for the current adoptees to find their new homes. This is the most responsible thing for our small organization, and we thank you for understanding!
💌 If you’d like to contact us for any reason, you can do so by:
[email protected]
wearsaves.org
Or call & leave us a voicemail at 732-716-2629.
➡️One of us will respond as soon as we can, around our day jobs and animal caretaking. We are a small gig doing what we can, and we thank you for your support during the last couple years that we couldn’t do adoptions, but still had sanctuary animals to feed 🖤
