# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Exotic Pet Surrender Event - West Bend
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 29 Nov, 2025 at 12:00 pm – Sat, 29 Nov, 2025 at 03:00 pm
- **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 29th between 12 PM and 3 PM at Washington County Fair Park located at 3000 Hwy PV West Bend, WI 53095.

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. There will also be animal ambassadors you can meet and learn about, and a photobooth where you can take your picture with a rescued pet!

Domestic pets and farm animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, horses, pigs, and chickens are not accepted. Please contact your local Humane Society for options about these kinds of animals.

We also cannot accept Wisconsin native animals taken from the wild. Please refer to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources website for more information on finding a licensed wildlife rehabilitator.

Birds, reptiles, and mammals originating from outside WI must be accompanied by a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (health paper)

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

This program was made possible with the help of our sponsor: Petco Love.

All surrendered animals will be available after a brief quarantine period.
