- **Event Name**: Exotic Pet Surrender Event - Antigo
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Sat, 11 Jul, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Do you have an exotic pet that you are no longer able to care for?

If so, don't release it into the wild! Instead, you can bring your pet to the Exotic Pet Surrender Event on July 11th between 12 PM and 3 PM at the Antigo Public Library located at 617 Clermont St, Antigo, WI 54409

Area organizations will be accepting fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants --no questions asked.
Domestic pets, such as dogs, cats, guinea pigs, 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.

Wisconsin native animals that were taken from the wild will also not be accepted. People that need help with native animals should contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.
Birds, reptiles, and mammals originating from outside WI must be accompanied by a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health paper)

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.

Surrendered animals will be available to adopt after a mandatory quarantine and evaluation period and will not be available to adopt at this event.

J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue (JRAAR) is hosting the event with help from several other area organizations including University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes, FLOW AIS, and Langlade County Land Conservation Department.

Sponsors are needed.  Contact us if you are interested in supporting the event.
