There are a few easy ways you can help:

   The next time we list a reptile for adoption, you will be the first to know!
   
   We may charge adoption fees to protect adopted reptiles, but we aim to keep fees significantly lower than "market prices" to attract good homes. And 100% of adoption fees benefit the rescue.
   
   Are you ready to adopt today? Check out our Main Adoption Link for reptiles at the rescue, or browse our Reptile Adoption Forum to find herps nationwide that need homes.
2. Make a donation.
   As a private nonprofit organization, Forgotten Friend receives 100% of its funding from members and supporters. If you'd like to join our team, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to reptile rescue. Whether you send us a financial donation or donate supplies and services to Forgotten Friend, the resources you share will help give reptiles a chance. To make a secure online donation, just click the Paypal button below. Still have a couple questions? Either email us, or call Forgotten Friend directly at (717)330.3015.

3. Help spread the word!
   Please encourage other responsible reptile keepers to join our Reptile Rescue Network. Or if you know someone who can't provide for their reptile, tell them to contact Forgotten Friend so we can help.
   
   Check out our Online Shop!
   We don't make money on merch sales, but buying a shirt, sticker, or anything else from our Online Shop is a fun way to spread our message and save more reptiles.
4. Be active in your area!
   Don't forget about your LOCAL reptile rescues. Not sure if you have one? Call your local animal shelter - if there's a reptile specialist in your area, they should know. RescueNetwork.org is another great tool to locate a shelter by state.

Giving up your reptile through Forgotten Friend

If you are unable to care for your pet reptile, please consider a rescue like Forgotten Friend. As a nonprofit organization, we never charge a dime to take in a reptile. And while we can't exchange personal information, we will gladly send you a general update about your pet's new home once he or she is placed.

If we can't take in your reptile, we can still help!
We're a small rescue and we must turn away some reptiles to avoid overcrowding and other health concerns. Unfortunately, we're unable to accept iguanas, aquatic turtles, and some very large reptiles at the rescue. However, if we're unable to take in your reptile here at the rescue, we encourage you to post your pet for adoption on our Reptile Adoption Forum. Countless pet owners use this free resource to find great new homes for their pets. Once you post on the adoption forum, we'll even email our rescue network about your adoption listing to let everyone know your reptile is looking for a new home. So if your pet reptile needs a new home, please contact us!
