Do you have an exotic pet that you are no longer able to care for?Don't release it into the wild! Instead, you can surrender it at J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue's Exotic Pet Surrender Event on November 2nd between 12 PM and 3 PM at the Nature Place located at 789 Myrick Park Dr, La Crosse, WI 54601.
Area organizations will be accepting fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants --no questions asked.
Domestic pets and farm animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, horses, pigs, and chickens are not accepted. Please contact your local Humane Society for options about these kinds of animals.
We also cannot accept Wisconsin native animals taken from the wild. Please refer to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website for more information on finding a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Birds, reptiles, and mammals originating from outside WI must be accompanied by a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health paper)
There will be animal ambassadors you can meet and learn about, and a photobooth where you can take your picture with a rescued pet!
In some areas, there are no rehoming options for exotic animals such as fish, birds, and reptiles. Some pet owners that are unable to care for their pet may think that releasing the animal is the right thing to do, however, releasing a pet is harmful for the animal and the environment.
J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue (JRAAR) is hosting the event with help from several other area organizations including the Nature Place, WisCorps, River Alliance of Wisconsin, and University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes.
This event was made possible with the support of our sponsors Animart, and Festival Foods.
