Exotic pet surrender to be held Feb. 25

For the Gazette
STEVENS POINT – While we do our best to provide them with a good home, sometimes there are reasons that we can no longer care for that pet.
The local humane society is the logical choice for cats and dogs but what about fish, reptiles, amphibians and other small mammals?
On Feb. 25, J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue will host an exotic pet surrender event at the Schmeeckle Reserve Visitors Center, 2419 North Point Dr., Stevens Point, from noon to 2 p.m.
Area organizations will be accepting fish, invertebrates, reptiles, pet birds, small mammals, and plants, no questions asked.
Domestic pets, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, and chickens, are not accepted.
Owners of domestic animals should inquire with local pet shelters or rescues for options on rehoming their pets.
