Exotic Pet Surrender Event Coming To Oshkosh: February 12th, 12pm-3pm

Free Event to Rehome Exotic Pets – No Questions Asked!

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 Feb 12th between 12 PM and 3 PM at the Coughlin Center located at 625 E County Rd Y, Oshkosh, WI 54901.

Area organizations will be accepting fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and 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.

J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue (JRAAR) is hosting the February 12th event with help from several other area organizations including Fox Wolf Watershed Alliance, Winnebago Waterways, and University of Wisconsin Sea Grant/Water Resources Institutes.

In addition to rehoming your pet, come learn more about why it’s importnat not to release your pets into the wild! Fox-Wolf’s Chris Acy will give a brief  presentation on invasive species at noon. In addition, come drop in any time to meet animal ambassadors as well as use the photobooth where you can take your picture with a rescued pet!

This program is possible due to our sponsor dubiaroaches.com
