Exotic Pet Surrender Event

625 E County Rd Y, Oshkosh WI

12 February, 2022

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 Feb 12th between 12 PM and 3 PM at the Coughlin Center located at 625 E County Rd Y, Oshkosh, WI 54901. Area organizations will be accepting fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants --no questions asked. There will also be a presentation on invasive species from 12 to 12:30, drop in any time after that for 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 February 12th event with help from several other area organizations including Archie's Angels, Wisconsin Sugar Glider Sanctuary & Rescue Roseberry Bird Rescue, Reptile Rescue of Wisconsin, Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance, Winnebago Waterways, and University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes. This program is possible due to our sponsor dubiaroaches.com Questions regarding the Exotic Pet Surrender Event can be directed to John Moyles of J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue.
