Currently At The Rescue:

As of August 26, 2010 we have a few reptiles available for adoption at the rescue. We also have others scheduled to come in, so please check back soon. If you'd like to adopt one, please review a few of the ground rules in our Code of Ethics, then apply online at www.forgottenfriend.org/apply and send us an email if you have any questions about the status of your application.

Check our rescue neighbors for more adoption opportunities!
Virginia Reptile Rescue and Charm City Reptile Rescue (in Baltimore) currently have LOTS of reptiles for adoption. Recently the biggest reptile cruelty bust in U.S. history brought a seizure of more than 20,000 reptiles, thousands of which were sent to rescues around the country. Forgotten Friend couldn't take animals from this cruelty bust, but we want to help our rescue neighbors in Maryland and Virginia find homes for the dozens of reptiles that they received from the bust. Please click on their links above to find out what reptiles they have available for adoption.

Also, please keep in mind there are always plenty more reptiles outside the rescue also available for adoption, listed on the Public Reptile Adoption Forum. Last I checked, there were several snakes, turtles and lizards on the forum that need new homes so please check it out! We list all of our rescue animals through PetFinder.com, which is another great place to find rescue pets. Thanks.

You can view other reptiles we've recently found homes for by visiting our PetFinder.com Happy Endings link.
