Exotic Pet Surrender Event

32 Sheboygan St, Fond du Lac WI

13 August, 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 August 13th between 10 AM and 1 PM at the Fond du Lac Public Library located at 32 Sheboygan St, Fond du Lac, WI 54935. Area organizations will be accepting fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, exotic small mammals, and plants --no questions asked. Domestic pets, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, and chickens are not accepted. Owners of domestic animals should inquire with local pet shelters or rescues for options on rehoming their pets. Drop in any time to meet animal ambassadors 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 August 13th event with help from several other area organizations including Wisconsin Sugar Glider Sanctuary & Rescue, 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 and Festival Foods Questions regarding the Exotic Pet Surrender Event can be directed to John Moyles of J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue.
