Animal Rescue

PNHS responds to all kinds of animal rescue needs. We see some scenarios repeateded frequently. Some of the common rescue needs are:

The cute 18" snake I bought at BrandX pet-store is now 18 feet long and is eyeing my cat funny.

My Iguana/Monitor/Big Snake has bitten me repeatedly and is too aggressive!

Animals dumped or left behind in places.

Neglected animals that need to be taken from abusive owners.

Pick-ups from the local Animal Control or Humane Society.

Some of those scenarios may sound humorous, but there is a real seriousness to each one. Every year PNHS takes in animals from owners who thought it "looked cute" in the pet store and bought it without any knowledge of what the animal would grow to become. Or an animal is mis-handled or mis-treated and it results in a bite. When people get animals (especially exotics) they don't know where to turn when they need to admit they are over thier heads. That is where PNHS comes in. We work hard with local resources to take in as many animals as we can as rescue in order to adopt them out to caring families that really want them. We would rather see a healthy adorable animal go to a good family then face euthanasia for no reason other then a home can't be found for it. PNHS recognizes that for some animals, it is a lost cause. They are too sick, too abused, or flat out too dangerous. These animals must be destroyed for the good of the reptile pet community. For the rest though, we offer hope in the form of adoptive families and individuals.

We hope that you will be interested in our animals, and provide at least one of them with a safe caring home.
