Reptile Rescue

International Reptile Rescue, Inc. is a 501 (c)3 and our
MISSION STATEMENT is:

In this day and age of escalating exotic regulation and financial insecurity more and more people are having to seek permanent qualified homes for their long term captive exotic pets.

Through educational programs we will strive to convey the uniqueness of the reptile kingdom while at the same time providing a sanctuary for the animals.

It’s important to remember that animal abuse and neglect draws media attention from everywhere and rightly so. However, with global information at hand it’s not long before they’re on to another tragedy.

There’s hardly a follow-up to what has happened to animals seized. They need daily care and attention to recover, thrive and wait for an appropriate loving, permanent home.

As some of the animals we get are NOT pet quality family reptiles, we have to maintain them for long periods of time before finding a qualified placement. Till a placement is found, their financial responsibility is upon us so there are many ways you can help make a difference in their lives.

WAYS YOU CAN PERSONALLY HELP US HELP OUR REPTILIAN FRIENDS

These are the most important things we need money for on a daily to monthly basis.

Monetary donations are always the most useful and helpful as they go directly to the animals welfare such as, housing-electricity, especially Winter heating-water-cage maintenance-purchasing frozen mice, rats & larger animals-gator chow-whole chickens & chicken parts-canned cat food-dry dog food-organic fruits & veggies-light bulbs-heating elements-pond pumps & filters, etc...

OTHER WAYS TO HELP INCLUDE:

• Sponsor us for Educational Outreach Programs
• Hire us for Educational Outreach Programs
• Advertise on our website
• Sponsor an animal
• Adopt an animal
• Purchase from our eBay store “Crocodile Collectibles”
• And more...

NEAR FUTURE PROJECTS

In the long term, not too distant future hopefully, we’d like property donated where we can build a permanent Reptile Sanctuary open to the public.

Reptiles are one of the most misunderstood and needlessly feared animals on earth. Unless more accurate information is readily available along with the opportunity for people to get “up close and personal” many of their futures are doomed. Most would rather donate to save a baby seal than an endangered rattlesnake.

It’s hard to compete with a “fluffy” face when all you have are scales and myths.

THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO HELP THE REPTILES ACHIEVER THEIR SANCTUARY

• Make an immediate monetary donation
• Corporate sponsorship
• Donate in memory of a loved one or someone special
• Setting up an endowment
• Life Insurance naming IRR as the benificiary
• Charitable gift annuities with funds set aside for IRR
• Naming IRR as a beneficiary in a will
• and many more ways we probably don’t even know about!
• And more...
• A small amount and every penny counts...
