The rescue was founded in 2018 by A.WILLIAMS & L.WILLIAMS. We pride ourselves on providing outstanding care and accommodation for Reptiles. We are both big animal lovers and we can guarantee that any animals that come's into our care will be well looked after. We do not agree with euthanasia, We believe that every animal deserves a chance. We have a very good local vet who works very closely with

us to ensure that each animal is getting the best treatment. We have never put any animal to sleep, this would only happen under strict advice from the vet. After keeping reptiles over the last 24 years, We decided to setup this rescue after seeing too many cases of (UNWANTED ANIMALS) being dumped in local ponds and reservoirs as well as fields . We once had a phone call about a Terrapin abandoned in the middle of Worksop Town centre, a local vet collected it and brought it to us. We can confirm that it is now thriving in its new environment with us. We found this news very distressing and un-acceptable as we feel that all animals deserve a better life, and we are capable of providing this. Most people have described us as "Mad as a box of Frogs" but in our eyes all animals require is a good suitable environment, that caters to all the animals individual needs. Dedication is the key factor that most pet owners struggle to grasp. We accept that over time peoples lives and circumstances change. All we ask is that if you find yourself unable to properly care for your animal, please take it to a local (Accredited) rescue. The animals welfare. With your ongoing help and support we are doing what we set out to do!

We have 6 baby rabbits after the mum past way we are looking for experienced rabbit feeders to help nurture these babies. One is on 3 feeds a-day one the rest are on 2 times a day have you got the time and experience to make a difference. Although training can be given. We would prefer a more experience person. To come in twice a day, thank you.

Like I said, the way we look after animals is correct if you don’t believe me, check this out the only thing they would like us to do is use a defa approved liquid. So we are already bought that.

Yet another complaint and yet another throwback for them as we are not open seven days a year to public some people need to learn the law before they try and sneak a complaint in every animal we have has paperwork and we are very proud of what we do if you don’t like what we do just move on by and enjoy your life. All our animals have come from. Pet homes or other Rescue centres that have shut down or are struggling or they have been abandoned pets . The council. Sent me this even though we already know the laws and regulations. So you are wasting your time. Reporting anything.

Who remembers having stick insects at school? These are all different types.
I’m always happy to take on more if anyone has too many.

So today we went to. K'rescue Knaresborough to pick up some turtles. In total there was 8, including a Chinese soft shell. As they don’t specialise in turtles like ourselves, but all the turtles were well looked after in their care!! Also picked up a load of lovely stick-insects.
They do a fantastic job!

I was very impressed with their setup although the shop is small they have a lot of animals for adoption. Please visit them if you are in the area. Thanks guys for having us today.
