At The Lizard Lighthouse, every reptile’s life matters.

Unfortunately, we recently had to make the difficult decision to euthanize an emergency intake due to severe health issues. Our dedicated volunteers, who are not paid, work tirelessly to provide the best care possible. However, this comes with significant financial strain, as evidenced by our latest vet bill of $455. Your support means everything to us. Please consider donating through Facebook, PayPal, Venmo, or credit card on our website www.lizardlighthouse.org/donate

The last month has been a rough one for the rescue and we appreciate all the help and positivity we've received from friends of The Lighthouse ❤️❤️
Thank you for being a part of our journey!

We had a busy day at the vet on Monday! Little Ori had a successful tail amputation and big man Khalifa had a few abscesses looked at.

The Lighthouse has had to put a slight pause on intakes until we get caught up on vet bills. You can donate to help us out using the link on the post and I'll post some other methods in the comments below. We appreciate all of you so much ♥️

Rescue work is hard. We've recently had to take in multiple very sick animals. Asking for money always feels weird to us but sometimes it's necessary.

Donate using the button on this post or visit www.lizardlighthouse.org/donate for more options.

The Lighthouse wouldn't exist without our supporters! We appreciate every single one of you. ♥️
