The popularity of keeping fish as pets has created a virtually unregulated industry that fails to educate the public on proper fish keeping. People purchase fish not realizing the commitment to the proper care, housing, and environment requirements these sensitive animals rely on. This is because fish are seen as easy to care for and disposable if necessary. Many fish live a miserable life, in unm
aintained, possibly overcrowded or too small aquariums (or vases, buckets, tupperwear, ect). Over time the novelty of fish keeping wears off for the child and the parent and the fish is forgotten, dumped in ditches, rivers or lakes or flushed down the drain. We are here to give these forgotten Bettas, Goldfish and Tetras a new chance at happiness. We understand that people cannot keep their pets for one reason or another and we are here to help! We are volunteer run and will take fish on a first come basis. We operate on a small scale. Depending on rates of animal surrender we may have to put fish on a waiting list for rescue. We will not take on more fish than we can provide appropriate care for. Please be a responsible pet owner, if you are unable to care for your fish please Contact Us through this page.
*Adoption*
