Have a pet you can no longer care for? DON’T set it free—bring it to safety!
Join J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue and partners for a free, no-judgment Exotic Pet Surrender Event. Whether it's a fish, reptile, bird, small mammal, or even a tropical plant—we’ll help them find the right new home.

Fish

Pet Birds

Small Mammals

Non-native plants
We CANNOT accept cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, farm animals, or native wildlife.
Reptiles, birds, and mammals from out of state must be accompanied by a CVI (health certificate).
Bring pets in SECURE, waterproof, escape-proof containers that we can keep.
On-Site Fun:

Remember: Releasing pets into the wild hurts both animals and ecosystems. This event gives you a responsible way to rehome exotic pets—no questions asked.
