We get several calls weekly for surrender requests. Life changes and having a place to turn to when it does is important, I’m thankful we are that place for many.

These two sulcata tortoises joined our crew this week, we have several aside from them that call our facility home.

Can you believe a lemur is what started our facility? Now, we’re one of the largest PRIVATE exotic rescues/facility.

We’re home to over 300 exotic animals, 32 of those being ringtail lemurs.

Ringtail lemurs are notorious for being rehomed, over and over again until they end up in a facility capable of housing them. They are known for their aggressive behaviour as soon as they reach maturity.

Many different species of animals call our facility home. Do you know what this sweet boy is? 🐾

Rya, one of our many African servals enjoying the cooler weather 🍁

We recently took in two more servals recently, that needed placement. Their owner wanted to make sure they were placed and in a proper facility if anything were to happen due to her age.

These cats are a larger species of cat with strict dietary needs and complex personality’s.

They typically don’t bond with more than one person, or anyone outside of their normal care routine.

Due to their specialized care, and natural spicy behavior they do not make great pets.

This time of year, every year, our surrender intake increases drastically for primates.

These guys are purchased as babys with broken promises from brokers, not realizing the future of a MATURE primate with intact canines.

We have never pulled a primates canines or altered any animal in our care. & don’t typically recommend it to others asking for our guidance either. I have always believed, that if you have to pull the animals teeth to successfully house it, then you shouldn’t own the primate.. and unless it’s detrimental to its troop mates, it’s something that should be fully considered before doing.

Pulling a primates canines can cause future issues, as well as pairing with its own species a much harder task if you are ever faced with the difficult task of rehoming. This is their defense and protection.

Educate yourself before going into primate ownership, and be prepared to adjust when they hit maturity so you can continue to give them the best life.

These guys aren’t for everyone. They require speciality care and exsperience, and at maturity they are unpredictable.

KIP came to us two years ago roughly, where I left town in a hour notice for an owner that was terrified of him breaking out of his enclosure at any given second.

His canines are no joke and can do severe damage if given the opportunity to 🐒
