Have you ever wished folks with unwanted herps would give you
a call? Now there's a forum to let everyone know you're available to help with unwanted herps. Please visit our Reptile
Adoption Forum to publicly list yourself as someone who will foster or adopt
unwanted reptiles. Before you know it, your phone may be ringing
with rescue
calls in your area!
Currently At The Rescue:
As of November 17, 2008 we have one reptile 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.
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.

Adoption
Fees
Our goal at Forgotten Friend is to place our reptiles
in the best homes. Unfortunately, offering "free reptiles"
does not produce the best applicants.
That's why we always set adoption fees for our rescued
reptiles. These
fees are based on a variety of factors, including retail
value. Before trying to adopt a reptile with us, we strongly
suggest you
read over
the adoption ground rules listed in our Code of Ethics
to determine if reptile adoption through Forgotten Friend would
be a good
option for you. Here's what our Code of Ethics has to say
about adoption fees: "We reserve the right to set adoption fees at our discretion. These fees are based on a variety of factors including retail value. Adoption fees serve to protect reptiles from individuals who would wrongfully adopt them for commercial purposes. 100% of adoption fees go toward operating expenses at Forgotten Friend. We aim to keep any fees significantly lower than "market prices" to make reptile adoptions more affordable to good homes. We also reserve the right to lower or waive adoption fees at our discretion if it helps place reptiles in the best homes. ."
