📣 FOUND BEARDED DRAGON – OLYMPIA/LACEY/TACOMA AREA 📣

A bearded dragon was recently found in the Olympia/Lacey area and is currently safe with us.

We also received a second found bearded dragon today from Wapato Park in Tacoma, and that animal is also safe with us.

If you believe this may be your animal, please send us a photo of your missing bearded dragon so we can verify ownership. We will not be releasing the animal based on description alone.

We also want to remind everyone that we currently have several stray animals on hold, including:
🐉 Bearded Dragons
🐍 Snakes
🐢 Tortoises & Turtles

We hold all found animals for a minimum of 30 days while actively trying to locate their families before considering them available for adoption.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post! You never know who may be missing a beloved pet, and we’d love to reunite these animals with their owners whenever possible. ❤️

If you are missing an exotic pet, feel free to reach out with photos and information about your animal.

Have you been dreaming of adding a tegu to your family?

Our handsome Blue Tegu is still searching for the perfect forever home! He’s an incredible lizard with a unique personality, but he does have some very specific adoption requirements due to his history.

Because of his past experiences, he cannot be placed in a home with men who have facial hair. Ideally, we would love to see him go to a female-led home where he can continue building trust and confidence.

This big guy currently lives in an 8’ x 4’ x 4’ enclosure and will need a home that can provide an enclosure of the same size or larger.

Interested in learning more about his story and seeing if you might be the right match? Send us a message! We’d be happy to chat and answer any questions.

Want to meet him in person? We are open tomorrow from 12 PM to 6 PM. Come say hello!

Check out our adoptable bearded dragons! 🧡

We currently have SIX amazing dragons ready to find their forever homes, and each one has their own story, personality, and charm.

Starting with the first picture, we have little Smardee!
Smardee is around a year old and packed FULL of personality. She’s basically a tiny energizer bunny with the cutest little face imaginable. She’s curious, active, and always ready to see what’s going on around her.

Next up is Ebenezer.
Ebenezer isn’t totally convinced that humans are his favorite thing yet, but he DOES love chasing bugs, devouring giant colorful salads, and dramatically side-eyeing everyone who walks past his enclosure. He’s got opinions, and honestly? We respect that.

Then we have Imugi.
Imugi is a 6 year old female with some MBD affecting her spine, but she doesn’t let that slow her down. She can be a little sassy at first, but once she warms up she turns into a very sweet girl who just needs someone willing to give her patience and love.

Next is our handsome boy Turkey!
Turkey spent quite a while battling a nasty ankle infection, but after lots of treatment, care, and rehab, he has officially healed and is ready to move on to his forever home. This sweet boy is ready to leave medical behind and become someone’s best friend.

Now onto Pancake… our wonderfully flat little dude. 🥹
Pancake is honestly a miracle. When he first came into the rescue, he was severely underweight, impacted, and could barely move. After a TON of rehab, hard work, and care, this boy has officially been cleared for adoption! Pancake doesn’t climb very well, so he’ll need a home that can accommodate his mobility needs, but he has fought SO hard for this second chance.

And last, but definitely not least, is Phantom.
Phantom is absolutely GORGEOUS and just as sweet as he is handsome. He loves hanging out with people and being involved in whatever chaos is happening nearby. If you want a dragon with personality AND looks, Phantom might just be your guy.

If you’d like to meet any of these sweet beardies, we’ll be open tomorrow from 12–6! Come say hi, check out the rescue, and maybe meet your new best friend. 🦎

Hey everyone! The rescue is in search of a few things and we figured we would put out a post to see if anyone has any of these items.

We are looking for a 2x2x2 MERIDIAN Zen habitat (can trade for a standard one we have)
OR
A standard zen extension kit

We are also looking for at least two more boaphile enclosures that are 4 ft long and 1 foot tall.

We are also looking for LARGE surge protectors and OUTDOOR light timers.

If anyone has any of these items shoot us a message! We can pay or trade if there's anything you are also looking for!
