Panic who? Not our animals! Our friends are getting cosy in their beds to wait out the storm. 😴

But what about our native species? Massachusetts alone has 14 species of snake 🐍... how do they survive the winter? 🤔
They have been in their own cozy beds! Many of our wild friends will burrow deep in the ground/mud or in dens where they will be able to endure the cold temps thanks to brumation. Unlike hibernation which is a continuous deep sleep, brumation is a state of dormancy where the animal will wake periodically to drink. The random warm days that keep us going sane in the winter? We aren't the only ones who thrive! 🐢🦎🐸

If you are heading to the store (in Salem MA) don't forget to grab a reusable 'give back bag' at the Salem ​Shaws. $1 of each bag sold will be donated to the animals. The program only has one week left.

Most importantly: Stay safe and warm!❄️

🎆We are starting the New Year strong!🎆
Do you live in the Salem MA area? We are partnering with Shaws for their GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program.

💚♻️For the ENTIRE month of January, $1 of every Give Back bag purchased at the Salem MA Shaws will be donated to the animals.
👜 Need to replace some of your reusable bags? Be sure to stop by anytime in January and grab a bag or two!

We are looking forward to 2026 and can't wait to see everyone in the New Year!🦎🐍🐢🐊

Do you remember the Black-Throated Monitor from a few weeks ago?
You voted and chose the name Maverick! 🦎💚
Goose will have his flight mate after all! 🤣

A few weeks can make a big difference. When Maverick first arrived at the RRS Oasis Animal Sanctuary, he was incredibly nervous. But thanks to our amazing care staff, he’s been making great progress!

Maverick is still getting used to handling, but we’d say he’s officially joined the flight crew. ✈️

A huge thank-you to everyone who suggested names and vote. We are thrilled to have Maverick here with us and will keep working with him to see if he’s a good fit as one of our ambassador animals.

Don’t mind our feathered friends whistling in the background!

Tell us in the comments, what other animal species would you like to see highlighted next?
