Our Story

In college I would deliver meals to the homebound. One day on the delivery route I saw a dog chained to a tree. He had no food, no water in his bowl (it was upside down) and the skin on his neck had grown over the chain collar. I was devastated. In that moment I vowed that one day, when I had the resources and means, I would save dogs just like that one. From that moment, I knew I would one day I would be involved with animal rescues. Never did I imagine that I would have the energy and drive to be the owner of one. The only mark I missed was the type of rescue. When my daughter turned 1 we found out that she has a severe allergy to animals with hair so we had to get a little creative when she started expressing an interest in getting a pet. For her 9th birthday she had the opportunity to experience a reptile petting zoo and fell in love with the bearded dragon. She had seen one before when we lived in Las Vegas, so she was already intrigued.  

Learning along the way of having a pet bearded dragon, Fireball, it became evident early on that he was not a beginner pet as the commercial pet stores like to market. A fish is a beginner pet. A hermit crab is a beginner pet. A bearded dragon is not a beginner pet...not if you are doing it right! People fall into this trap, and those baby beardies are so cute...but it is usually less than a year before they realize they need help. That is why we are here! We want to help you....if you have questions or need guidance we can help you. If you are in a position where you need to surrender your reptile, fill out our contact form and we will get in touch.
