Reptile Rescues

Below is a list of all the reptile rescues that we have found (we are still searching for more, so if you find any please contact us and let us know). Unlike other pets, reptiles require unique environments, specialized diets, and someone with knowledge about their species to be able to keep them happy and healthy. With this being the case, it is no easy task to take care of multiple reptiles (especially if they are of different species).

While reptiles are popular pets, they are not as common as cats or dogs, so many of these rescues don't receive the donations they deserve for the hard work their staff puts into rescuing these animals. So if you know of a reptile that needs to be rescued (whether bearded dragons, snakes, lizards, or turtles) or if you wish to make a donation, please contact one of the rescues below.

 

Reptile Rescue Award

While TheBeardedDragon.org would love to make donations to all of the reptile rescues listed below, we do not have the resources available to do this (after domain, hosting, and website maintenance fees we have very little revenue). However, we still wanted to show our appreciation of the time and effort rescues have put into saving reptiles and bettering their lives.

So we decided to create an award that shows our appreciation of their efforts to helping reptiles everywhere. We hope that this small token of our appreciation will let these rescues know that their hard work doesn't go unnoticed and without their dedication to reptiles, many animals would have never found happiness.

Please note: Just because a rescue below doesn't have an award issued, doesn't necessarily mean they did not deserve the award. We have not contacted many of these rescues.
