After 14 years, I have decided to scale-down the rescue. It has taken a long time to make this decision, and was not made lightly. I feel a responsibility to the reptile community, but I also have a responsibility to my family. Over the next few months I will placing all of the current adoptees, and perhaps some of the VARR program animals. I will be selling some of the caging, as well.

 

I would love for someone to take over VARR! If you have considered operating a rescue, please contact me.

PLEASE share this video with everyone! It shows what happens when turtles and tortoises are not cared for properly. Even if you don’t own a turtle, sharing this info may be the only way to find owners who aren’t doing things right. And if we find those owners, we can correct the problems and help the turtles! PLEASE SHARE!!

 

We are located just outside of Manassas, VA. We do not advertise our physical location, as we do not want people showing up, nor do we want animals just left at our doorstep. We are NOT open for “browsing”, as we are a home-based rescue.

 

See the Animals Available page for the new critters!

Reptile spotlight:

This GORGEOUS desert king has a bright yellow belly you can’t see here.  She was feisty at the nature center, but has been much more docile here - once she’s out of her cage. For someone with a little experience, or a mature beginner that doesn’t mind the possibility of a bite.
