# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Exotic Pet Surrender Event - Milwaukee
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Nov, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 07 Nov, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-06:00)
- **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 November 7th between 10 AM and 2 PM at the Kosciuszko Community Center at 2201 S 7th St #205, Milwaukee, WI 53215. Area organizations will be accepting fish, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and aquarium plants --no questions asked.

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. 

This event brings together a collection of area rehoming partners that provide responsible alternatives to release for exotic pet owners who are no longer able to care for their pets. 

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)

Bring pets in SECURE, waterproof, escape-proof containers that we can keep.

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.
