Giving Scales Their Shedding Chance
**Due to capacity limitations, A Shedding Chance Reptile Rescue Inc. is no longer accepting surrendered reptiles. Additionally, due to a high volume of surrenders and low adoption rates, we will no longer be accepting the following species: Slider Turtles (Red Eared Sliders, Yellow Bellied, etc.), or Sulcata Tortoises. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to reach out to local rescues, animal control, or your exotic vet for further assistance.
A Mission For The Misunderstood
We are dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing reptiles in need, fostering a compassionate understanding of these often-misunderstood creatures.
Want to Help? Here Are Some Options
Adopt Your Forever Friend
Adopting reptiles from rescue situations not only gives these incredible animals a second chance at life, but it also provides you with the opportunity to form a meaningful bond with them. By choosing adoption over shopping, you’re helping to end the cycle of breeding and exploitation in the pet trade. You can offer a safe, loving home to reptiles who need it most, and experience the joy of caring for these fascinating creatures up close, knowing you made a difference in their lives. Your decision to adopt makes a real impact on their well-being and helps create a brighter future for reptiles in need.
Sponsor Our Animals
Sponsoring a rescued reptile directly helps provide the care and resources they need to thrive in a safe environment. Your sponsorship contributes to vital medical treatments, proper nutrition, and habitat enrichment, ensuring they receive the best possible care during their rehabilitation. It also supports efforts to maintain their enclosures, provide veterinary check-ups, and offer specialized care for any unique needs they may have. By sponsoring, you help give these reptiles a second chance at life, providing them with the opportunity to heal and potentially find a forever home, all while supporting their ongoing care and well-being.
Surrender An Animal
We understand that life can sometimes take unexpected turns. Surrendering your pet reptile is a thoughtful and responsible choice, ensuring they get the care, attention, and safe environment they deserve, especially when you’re no longer able to meet their needs. This decision gives them the chance for a fresh start in a loving, supportive rescue where they can thrive. Please fill out the surrender form below, so we can provide the vet and the future forever home of the history of your friend.
