Local peeps, we have a Sulcata tortoise in our possession. It was just picked up off Dedeaux, in Gulfport.
Positive ID should be easy since it has three names scribbled across its back in black sharpie permanent marker. To claim, please give us a call: (228) 223-0430.

Friends, when considering surrendering an animal to the care of what you understand to be a rescue, it is best to take the time to do a little research on said rescue, to make sure they are legitimate, and reputable. If they're only willing to take in specific species that are less common, (i.e. NOT beardies, leopard geckos or normal ball pythons for example,) that's definitely a red flag.
Genuine rescue organizations do not cherry pick what specific animals they take in. (Outside of domestic or exotic of course.)

To elaborate, I'm not referring to turning an animal away due to being at maximum capacity, (that's being responsible,) or turning away an animal that is a larger species, due to being unable to accommodate said animal properly.....

I'm speaking on folks operating as rescues that you see, who will turn someone away with a 'common' type animal in one breath, then the next, they're announcing the arrival of an animal that's more 'uncommon.'

I felt compelled to share a post like this, after seeing someone genuinely upset, that had entrusted her very loved pet to someone who was throwing the word rescue around, only to later find out that the animal was ultimately obtained/kept to be utilized for breeding.

Now, if this was something that the person surrendering was okay with, then so be it. They were not.
Most folks who surrender an animal to an actual rescue, would expect that said animal would NOT be utilized for breeding purposes.

It is down right wrong, unethical and immoral to deceive someone who is trying to do right by their animal. Transparency is very important in this realm.
I hate seeing genuine people who truly care about the animals they're surrendering get lied to/taken advantage of.

Just be aware.

Hello friends. I'm late on posting, but today is $5 Friday! We've been so busy here, and we have 3 more new intakes coming tomorrow. As a 501c3 nonprofit organization, we rely HEAVILY on donations from our supporters to be able to do what we do. Supplies, food, lighting, electricity....is a hefty expense. We cannot possibly continue on without your support. Every single dollar adds up! We are thankful for any and all support. These animals need us.

Hi friends,
It’s $2 Tuesday! Sorry we have been behind on posts. We had a busy weekend with 6 intakes. One stray rabbit and 5 male fancy rats. We desperately need to get another rabbit hutch with this new addition, as well as some food items and toys for the birds and rabbits. If you could send something from our wishlist or make a donation then we would greatly appreciate it.

Hello friends! Time for another PSA, for those who may be unaware.
🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴

*We are a registered 501c3 non-profit RESCUE/sanctuary.
*We are not a retail seller.
*We do not trade rescue animals, we do not "sell" animals to the first person who flashes money. Adoptable animals will be here with us for -however- long it takes, to find a home that is the best fit possible for both said animal, and the potential new family.
*Like any legitimate rescue, we have an adoption protocol, which includes filling out a simplistic adoption application, and we require a photo to show proof of a proper enclosure/lighting for the animal of interest. If you feel that that is too much effort on your part, then adopting from us is not for you.
*Applying to adopt an animal is not a guarantee that you will be approved to adopt. Our top priority always is, and always will be, the best interest of the animal.
*We do not confirm genders on our snakes. Main reason being, is that as with ANY animal adopted from us, these guys are intended for PET homes ONLY. If you're seeking breeding stock, find a reputable breeder, and aquire animals from one of them for such purpose.
*Our adoption fees are extremely modest in the grand scheme of things. If you feel otherwise, that's okay, one of our animals is not for you.

Thank you.
