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!

Everyone meet Onyx the Ball Python!
🐍
Onyx is extremely friendly and would make a great addition to any family, even beginner snake owners!
If you are unfamiliar with our rescue, we focus our efforts on placing animals into forever homes but we also place a lot of importance on education. If you are interested in owning a snake, but don't know where to begin, that's what we are here for!
If you are interested in adopting an animal from us, first fill out the adoption application from our website (linked in our bio). After we review it, we will contact you to schedule a zoom meeting where we will discuss pet care and enclosure info; species biology, behavior and health concerns; and the adoption process. We are here to answer any questions and make sure you are prepared to bring a new pet into your home!

Everyone say hello to Sookie the hamster!
🐹
Sookie is a little shy at first, but with some patience he will be your best friend! He likes to eat out of your hand and doesn't mind being gently handled. He's inquisitive and smart, and needs more challenging puzzles as enrichment as he figures them out pretty quickly! He loves running on his exercise wheel and ball, as well foraging for his food and figuring out puzzles to earn a treat.
If you're interested in adopting Sookie, please fill out the adoption application linked below. If you have any questions please text 724-826-8520.

Everyone say hello to Alex & Scully the Green-Cheeked Conures!
They were purchased from PetCo as babies and raised by their previous family for their entire lives. They are bonded and have lived in the same cage for several years.
.
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.
If you are interested in adopting Alex & Scully, fill out the adoption application from our website. If you have more questions, please text 724-826-8520.

05/29/2024

Rex the Chameleon has been waiting for a forever home for sooo long. Chameleons are hard to find homes for because of the specialized care that is required for them and because many chameleons have an attitude problem. For Rex it has been even harder to find a home due to his age. We believe him to be around 6 years old.
Regardless of his age or attitude, he still deserves a loving forever home to live out the rest of his days.
Here is some information about Rex from his foster family...
"Rex is one of a kind. He's an old man who likes what he likes and, as far as I can tell, that's bugs and being left alone. His dislikes include loud noises and water from anywhere but his fountain. As soon as I walk into the room, he goes into stealth-mode and hides. He does have a bit of an attitude (like lots of chameleons do), but it makes the moments when he lets you observe him going about his chameleon business all the more special. The perfect situation for Rex would be a calm place where he can live out the rest of his days in peace and quiet with an experienced caretaker. Some special attention is needed with his cage setup to make sure he has sturdy ramps and plenty of footholds to help him get around in his old age. Lately he's also had a preference for worm or larvae feeders (hornworms, superworms, silkworms, black soldier fly larvae, etc.). Though he might not be my biggest fan, he definitely has a special place in my heart and I know that the right person will fall in love with this old guy."
If you have chameleon experience and think you can provide an amazing home to an adorable old man, please fill out the adoption application from our website!

Everyone say hello to Taily and Russia, the Russian tortoises.
Taily is the larger of the two. He's calm and just loves to explore. Russia on the other hand is mischievous and sly compared to Taily. He likes to sneak under Taily and eat food from right under his nose.
Taily and Russia are currently being housed together and should be adopted together.
If you think you can provide a loving forever home to two adorable tortoises, fill out the adoption application from our website!

Thorn the bearded dragon was surrendered to us after he was rescued from a hoarding situation by Animal Friends.
Thankfully Thorn is healthy, especially compared to his friend Rose who was rescued from the same home. Thorn is very active and loves to eat! He would make a great addition to any family!
If you're interested in adopting please fill out the adoption application from our website. If you have any questions please text 724-826-8520.

Onyx (black) and Mason (grey) are 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.
Since our storefront closed back in October, 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!

Buddy the cockatiel is still available for adoption!
🦜
Buddy is a sweetheart who is happy to step up onto his foster mom's hand! He enjoys being preened and loves to be misted.
Buddy's foster family has worked so hard at getting him comfortable around humans....
When he first came to us, he was surrendered in a very very small enclosure which he shared with a parakeet (pictured in the second photo). He was beyond stressed and screamed for hours, and would not let anyone go near him. Now he is very friendly and would make a great addition to any family!
Unfortunately the birds at our rescue generally stay with us for a very long time and are the last to get adopted 😞
Buddy has been with us since September and has been patiently waiting for a forever home. If you think you can give Buddy the loving home he deserves, fill out the adoption application from our website!

Orders are due today! Pick up will be Wednesday (4/17) between 4 and 7 pm!

When you buy from us, every purchase goes directly into helping support our rescue efforts!
How it works...
Go to our website (saraspetsandplants.com) and click on the "Wholesale Ordering" tab to place and prepay for your order. Orders will be available for pick up on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month at Ketchup City Creative in Sharpsburg between 4 and 7 pm. Orders are due the Friday before pick up. For example, if you want to pick up an order on April 17th, you must place your order by Friday April 12th at midnight.

Our monthly Trivia Night Fundraiser is in two days!
Come to Hitchhiker Brewing on Thursday, April 11th at 7pm to test your knowledge while also supporting our rescue efforts!
We rely on fundraising events like this to fund our efforts to rescue pets in need. Our Trivia Night fundraiser is one of the only consistent ways that we are able to raise money. It is sad to say, but last month not one person showed up to participate. We love hosting trivia and we want to continue to do so. So please come show your support on Thursday, and bring some friends!
This month all trivia questions will be about MOVIES! If you are a movie buff, come show us what you got!
Categories including: Pittsburgh Movies, Movie Scene ID, Animal Movies, and Famous Movie Quotes!
The winner of each round will win a draft beer, and there will also be items available for raffle!
$10 entry per person. Work as a team or as an individual!

Orders are due by this Friday for a pick up next Wednesday (4/17)!
We're excited about our new wholesale ordering because we are happy to offer all of you more consistent access to affordable food for your pets.
But our wholesale ordering is also a way for us to raise money to support our mission to rescue unwanted/neglected/abused animals in need! It requires a lot of money to care for the many exotic species that we rescue every single day. Please consider ordering your food through us instead of big box stores to help support our work!

After closing our storefront in October, I promised many of our regular customers that they could still rely on us as a source to purchase food for their animals. Well, we are FINALLY making it happen!

Everyone say hello to Frognard the Pac-Man frog!
🐸
Frognard was surrender to us in an enclosure with just the basics. He did not have the proper temperature and humidity, and it was clear that he deserved a lot better. For the first month in our care he refused to eat, and it was pretty clear that he was uncomfortable due to his dull color. He was so dried out and malnourished that it took longer than expected to get him back to a healthy state. But thanks to Lauren (our amazing board member and foster family) and her persistence, Frognard finally started to regain his color and consistently eat!
Frognard is finally healthy and cleared for adoption! If you're interred in giving an adorable Pac-Man frog a loving forever home, fill out the adoption application from our website. If you have any questions, please text 724-826-8520.

We are still trying to raise money to help save Rose!
We have only raised $50 out of our $300 goal to help fund Rose's vet fees. Thanks to the amazing care by our wonderful foster home, Rose has started to show improvements, but we still have a long way to go on her healing journey! Click the Gofundme link to donate!

https://gofund.me/42d41750.……….……………………………………………..................

Rose was rescued from a hoarding situation by Animal Friends, and since Animal Friends doesn't typically work with reptiles, they reached out to us for help!
Rose is gentle and kind, and deserves a loving forever home. But before she is ready for adoption, she has some health issues to overcome. We believe Rose has pneumonia, as well as metastatic mineralization. Both of which are very serious illnesses, and the later will require very specialized long-term medical care.
Now that we are a foster based rescue, we rely solely on donations to fund our rescue efforts. Please consider making a donation to help save Rose!

We are still searching for a home for Roxy the boa!
🐍
Roxy would make an incredible addition to any family who has a love for big snakes! Big snakes require big enclosures, so if you have space and are ready to take on a big commitment, then apply to adopt Roxy!
We are desperate to find Roxy a home; not only because she deserves a loving forever home, but also because the quicker we get animals adopted, the more animals we are capable of saving! Please share this post and tell your friends how cute Roxy is!
If you're interested in adopting Roxy, fill out the adoption application from our website. If you have any questions, text 724-826-8520.
