Rant Incoming...

Today 2 hermit crabs were found outside near Mt Airy Maryland. This is NOT okay in the slightest. It appears they were intentionally left outside to die in the cold. Again. This is NOT okay. The picture included is not the actual crab but a similar one. They were found in a horrible enclosure like the one you buy from the beach, carnival or fair. Again, this is NOT okay. If you cannot or will not take care of an animal that you took into your home. find a rescue or other organization that will take it. The enclosures from the beach, carnival or fair are not appropriate and painted shells are the absolute worst as they do not breathe and essentially suffocate the animals. Worst case scenario you can take it to Animal Control. DO NOT LEAVE ANIMALS OUTSIDE!!!!

Day 9: We are thankful for the many organizations we get to work with. Today we picked up Yukon Gold from Frederick County Animal Control, Maryland. She's a sweet and very friendly female Bearded Dragon that they've been caring for. She was clearly a well loved staff favorite. Once we get her settled in we will provide more information and let everyone know when she's ready for adoption.
