WE NEED YOUR HELP!
As a foster based pet rescue, we rely on families to open up their hearts and their homes to help care for animals in need.
We are always in need of more foster families so that we are able to help even more animals.
But right now we are DESPERATE for more foster families...
We currently have 2 parakeets, a cockatiel and 2 conures in foster homes that can no longer care for them, and we don't have any other foster homes available to move them to.
All of these birds have been in our care longer than we would've hoped. Ideally we will find them a forever home very soon. But in the meantime, we are searching for multiple foster families that can provide a safe and loving temporary home for these animals.
An ideal foster home is someone with bird experience or a lot of bird care knowledge, a calm and relaxed environment, and a good amount of time to give the birds the love and attention they need.
Our foster program does not require anything from you except for a commitment to care for our animals. We provide the enclosure, we provide the food (unless you are willing and able to help out) and we provide any needed vet care.
If you want to help out animals in need and think you could be a good foster family for the birds (or any animal we typically care for) please fill out the foster application from our website. If you have any further questions, please text 724-826-8520.

Happy Halloween from all of the spooky critters at Feathers, Scales, and Tails pet rescue!
🎃🐍🕷️
At FST, we specialize in finding homes for all the creepy and crawly critters that get surrendered to us. And as a rescue, we rely on adopters and fosters to keep us running and help the animals in our care.
Lately adoptions have been slow, so for this Halloween we wanted to share some of the creepy and crawly animals that we have available for adoption!
Introducing Cinnamon the Red tailed boa, Rose and Thorn the bearded dragons, madagascar hissing cockroaches, Danny the corn snake, and Onyx the ball python!
All of these animals are eagerly awaiting their forever homes! If you're interested in any of the animals in this post, fill out the adoption application from our website. If you have more questions, please text 724-826-8520 or email [email protected]

Meet Alex and Scully the Green Cheeked Conures!
Alex and Scully are currently being fostered by one of our amazing foster families. However due to some life changes, the foster family doesn't feel like they are getting the attention they deserve, and asked for us to find a new foster family.
They are a bonded and have lived in the same cage for several years, so they must be adopted or fostered together.
Scully loves to play with foot toys, like chasing a ball around the table, and they both love to forage and shred paper toys.
Both Alex & Scully know how to "spin," "shake," "jump," and Scully was recall trained for his flight inside the home. Both are very cuddly once they get comfortable with you and will be great companions.
Ideally, we would prefer Alex & Scully to be adopted instead of transferring them to a new foster home.
If you are interested in adopting or fostering Alex & Scully, fill out the adoption or foster application from our website. If you have more questions, please text 724-826-8520 or email [email protected]

Meet Rex the Veiled Chameleon! This old guy has been with us since we had our storefront in Sharpsburg. Due to Rex's age and because chameleons are a more intermediate level species to care for, we have been searching for a loving home for quite some time.
Rex's perfect home is one who is willing to give him all he needs without being handled often. We believe Rex to be around 6 years old (which is pretty old for a chameleon) and he can be a grumpy old man at times. Rex loves bugs, such as superworms, hornworms, silkworms, etc. Rex dislikes loud noises and being held. He needs a home with chameleon experience, and the ability to provide him with plenty of perches and plants in his enclosure to ensure he can get around and feel safe in his enclosure in his old age.
We do understand that chameleons are a tougher species than most, but if you think you're ready for a challenge or think Rex will fit into your home, visit our website at saraspetsandplants.com or text 724-826-8520 to learn more about Rex!

Onyx (black) and Mason (grey) are still looking for a forever home together! They are both around 13 years old, and are very affectionate. Onyx is more social, while Mason is more shy. They enjoy being outside when weather permits, but have been kept predominantly indoors.
Their current owners just want what's best for them, and believe that they need a home that can give them more attention than they are currently receiving. The family has been patiently waiting nearly 2 years to find the right home for Onyx and Mason.
Since our storefront closed last year, we no longer deal with rehoming cats. But we are helping out a friend that has been searching for a forever home for Onyx and Mason for quite some time.
If you think you can provide a purrrfect forever home for these two cuties, fill out the adoption application on our website!
We are also open to a foster home until a permanent home is found. If you're interested in fostering, fill out the foster application from our website!

Update: We are still trying to raise money for Rose! Please donate if you can!..............................................................................

Rose the bearded dragon was brought to our rescue after being removed from a hoarding situation. When surrendered, she had difficult eating and moving and was diagnosed with metastatic mineralization.
Our amazing foster home has been working tirelessly to get Rose back to a healthy state. Rose has made significant improvements and we want to be sure that she is healthy enough to be adopted into a forever home! In order to do that, she needs to see a veterinarian for testing. As many of you know, exotic vets can be pretty expensive, so we are asking for your help!
Please donate ifyou can to help us take the next step to finding Rose the loving forever home that she deserves!

Tweety the Canary is still available for adoption (and has been for a pretty long time)...
🐤
Tweety is a beautiful bird who loves to sing and play with toys in her enclosure! While canaries don't typically like to be handled by humans, they do provide entertainment and enjoyment through their beautiful calls and songs.
It generally takes birds a very long time to be adopted from our rescue. Even though all of our animals are safe in foster homes, but we want them to find loving forever homes as soon as possible!
Please help Tweety find a forever family!
If you're interested in adopting Tweety, fill out the adoption application from our website. If you have more questions, text 724-826-8520.

Everyone say hello to Shelly the bunny!
🐰
Shelly was at our store front for quite some time waiting for a forever home, and she was adopted when we closed down. Her adoptive family reached out recently with concerns that maybe Shelly would be happier in a different home.
Shelly is approximately 7 years old and we are unsure of how much time she has left, so we want to give her the best home possible! She really enjoys time outside of her cage, so a family that could allow her to live a free range lifestyle would be ideal! She is a big sweetheart who needs a calm and quiet home to give her lots of love and attention.
If you think you can provide a perfect home for Shelly, please fill out the adoption application linked in our bio. If you have any questions, text 724-826-8520 or send us an email!

Update on Danny the Corn Snake...
Danny has been with us for nearly 2 years. Until recently Danny had a bit of an attitude problem at times. But we learned that she just takes more time to settle in than expected! After 3 moody months in her foster home, she has opened up and become a very curious and friendly snake!
Please please please share this post and tell your friends! It is so sad when an animal stays with us for as long as Danny has.
If you have snake experience and want to give Danny the love he deserves, fill out the adoption application from our website! If you have any further questions, please text 724-826-8520!
