We are looking to add 3-4 new volunteers to our team! We have a formal advancement process for volunteers now and are looking to expand.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to work first hand with rescued animals, earn conservation hours towards permits and move up to eventually become fosters or trainers for Arkansas Reptile Rescue!

If you are at least 18 years of age and would like to pursue rescue work this is a great opportunity for you to learn the ropes and get hands on training with team members who have worked for us for several years.

This is a PROCESS, we encourage you to have your full heart into this and be willing to work the steps involved to move up. If you're just wanting to volunteer because it sounds fun or you want to work with animals then this isn't for you. This is a real opportunity to learn how to be an educator, what goes into real rescue work, and make a positive impact on your local reptile community. We prefer to find a few members in the NWA area as it will allow us more help with the shows on that side but we encourage anyone wanting to apply to contact us immediately as we may fill these slots quickly.

🐍✨ Thank You, CALS Children's Library and Learning Center! ✨🦎

A huge thank you for welcoming me yesterday and giving me the opportunity to represent Arkansas Reptile Rescue – Central Arkansas Branch and share some of our incredible reptile ambassadors with your young readers!

I loved getting to introduce the kids to a few of my scaly friends and help spark curiosity, respect, and compassion for reptiles of all shapes and sizes.

The kids had the chance to meet a Savannah Monitor, Ball Python, and Nile Monitor each one helping me share just how unique and important these animals are. Watching children connect with reptiles in a safe and respectful way is always one of my favorite parts of doing this work.

And even though he’s not a reptile, my Blue Death Feigning Beetle, Jerry, still managed to steal a few hearts with his calm and friendly personality!

I’ll be attending more library events throughout the summer, and I hope to see even more curious kids (and grown-ups!) there.

Your support helps us continue our mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome reptiles in need and educate the community along the way. Thank you again for having me, and for supporting reptile education, rescue, and compassion for all creatures scaled or not!

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Our paypal has been hacked, the criminal that has access to it has setup two factor authentication on our account thus completely shutting us out of our account, even when we change the password. We have lost every single dime in the account and the outlook isn't good. Our rescue relies on the support of our patrons and without these donations we simply could not do what we do today. From here on out we will only accept cash app, physical cash or item donations, or square. If you'd like to make a donation and help us catch back up please do so to $M3gLov3 on cash app. Thank you for your ongoing support

All of the new intake has been treated for mites and quarantined! Most were mild, one was infested and showing signs of RI. Cases like this where we have entire collections being surrendered that need varying levels of care can be very labor intensive on us, please be patient when messaging us as we may not be as quick to respond when we are close to maximum capacity.

We are filling up FAST at the rescue. Consider making a donation or stopping by our table at the upcoming Arkansas shows!

Changes incoming! With the growth of our rescue, we have decided to promote some of our members who have been a part of our team for quite some time! If you have visited us at an event chances are you've met our lovely volunteer team. Today I'd like to announce (although its not quite recent anymore) that Megan Wornick and Delaney Wornick, who have been fostering for us for around two years have taken on the roles as our lead volunteers. They will be attending most of the shows with us, training new team members, managing direct messages and of course fostering as they have already done so well! I cannot put into words how much love i have for these people. We have a truly spectacular team and the two of them have played a monumental role in the progression of our rescue! You can look forward to content from them being posted on the page in the near future. If you happen to see us at either one of the July shows this year be sure to stop by and congratulate them on their efforts! Megan and Delaney are basically our central Arkansas branch of our rescue, and odds are if you've surrendered to us in that area of the state that you have already met them. If you book a private event in the central Arkansas area you will most likely be dealing with the two of them, or Megan Robinson and myself, or possibly the four of us if it is a larger event. Keep up the fantastic work 👏 you rock megan and Delaney!
