Our Story

Founded in 2024, our rescue was founded on the belief that every reptile’s life matters and deserves the resources and care to truly thrive. Based in the Milwaukee area, we’re a small, foster-based organization with big goals. While our primary mission is to take in, rehabilitate, and rehome reptiles, we’re equally committed to education and community outreach, working with keepers to improve husbandry, offering guidance, and being a reliable resource when support is needed.

We strongly advocate for proper veterinary care for all reptiles and stand firmly against unethical breeding, animal hoarding, and the commodification of animals through reptile expos, inhumane pet stores, and online trade. Our goal is to build a more informed, compassionate reptile community and to use reptile keeping as a bridge to connect people with local ecosystems and conservation efforts. Whether you’re a new keeper or a lifelong enthusiast, we’re here to help and we’re glad you’re here.
