DETAILS

Date: Saturday, February 24, 2024

Time: 12:00pm – 3:00pm

No registration required; walk-ins welcome.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Meet animal ambassadors and learn about their stories. Capture memories at the J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue photobooth with rescued pets!

Accepting: Fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants–no questions.

Not Accepting: Domestic pets like dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, pigs, and chickens. If you have domestic animals, inquire with local shelters or rescues for rehoming options.

What happens to the surrendered pets? After a brief quarantine period, all surrendered animals will be available for adoption. Ensure your pet’s safety by bringing them in a secure container.
