About Us

Our Mission

A Shedding Chance Reptile Rescue Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and responsible placement of pet reptiles. We strive to improve reptile welfare through community outreach, public education, and hands-on learning opportunities. By providing compassionate care and advocating for responsible pet ownership, we aim to raise awareness of reptiles’ unique needs and roles in the ecosystem, while fostering a sense of stewardship and engagement within the communities we serve.

Our Inspiration

Reptiles and amphibians need our help more than ever! Not only are their native species declining in the wild, but their captive counterparts are suffering from abuse, release, and neglect – like cats and dogs do. The exotic pet industry has grown 13% from five years ago, according to The Global Pet Industry. This has resulted in an increased demand for exotic-specific rescues. That’s where we come in!
