🐾 Are you no longer able to care for your exotic pet?
J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue (JRAAR) invites you to our Exotic Pet Surrender Event, where you can safely and responsibly surrender fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants — no questions asked!
Please Note:
- All surrendered animals must be brought in secure containers.
- We cannot accept domestic pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc.) or native wild animals.
- Birds, reptiles, and mammals originating from outside Wisconsin must have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection.
