We rescue and care for exotic animals and educate the public about all animals of all kinds. We are about caring for animals of all kinds and all animal families - insects, fish, birds, arachnids, arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals. We take these amazing creatures in when they are unwanted, we rescue them when the RCMP or the Department of Fish & Wildli

fe call us. care, the specialized food they need, the right kind of shelter, and stimulus. We care for them for the rest of their natural lives - some of our animals live over 100 years. We teach thousands of kids and adults each year about animals and the natural world. We do this in schools of all levels, libraries, festivals, daycares, senior homes, private homes etc. We also provide a wide variety of learning experiences at our rescue facility with tours of our animals, Nature Clubs for kids, Junior Zoo Keeping courses for teens, Adult Career Training courses, Summer Camps, Spring Break Camps, and volunteer opportunities for teens and adults. We give back to the community by supporting organizations such as BC Children's Hospital, Variety Club, Canuck Place and more. We take our animals to these kids who need an adventure, some stimulus, a chance to learn about animals of all kinds. We do this for kids in need and we do it for the warmth it adds to our lives. We do all these things with the help of dedicated volunteers, knowledgeable and experienced staff and our dedicated Board of Directors - and we do it every day of the year.

This week we said good-bye to Otis, the Fly River Turtle. We shipped him to Reptilia in Ontario. We are sad to see him go but he needed a much bigger tank to swim in, much bigger than we could provide. Otis also has some ongoing health issues that we could not address properly. Reptilia has a vet on staff and have a couple other Fly River turtles , so they are very familiar with Otis's issues.We are very grateful for Ryan Vince and Reptilia for stepping up and taking our cute guy. We got word a few days ago that Otis did well during the shipping process and arrived at Reptilia fine and is doing well.
We will miss you Otis but we wish a long and healthy, happy life.
