Event Description:
Do you have an exotic pet that you are no longer able to care for?
If so, bring your pet to the Exotic Pet Surrender Event on October 15th between 12 PM and 3 PM at the Oneida County Humane Society, located at 1852 North Stevens Street, Rhinelander, WI 54501.
Area organizations will be accepting fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants --no questions asked. 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 Oneida County Land & Water Conservation Department, and University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes. This program is possible due to our sponsors Animart and Festival Foods.
Questions regarding the Exotic Pet Surrender Event can be directed to John Moyles of J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue. He can be reached at adoptions@jraar.org
