Wild Exotics Animal Refuge is coming to Ocean County Library!
Rescue animals come in all types, shapes and sizes, and they can thrive in good homes. Teens, meet members of Wild Exotics Animal Refuge, learn about their mission and see some rescued snakes and lizards at the Ocean County Library Lakewood Branch, 11 AM Monday, August 12.
Members will discuss circumstances surrounding rescues and the steps involved to accept and care for animals in need. Everyone who attends will have a chance to experience the wonders of nature by seeing the reptiles up close.
Founded by Ocean County native Brittany Vanderstine, Lakehurst-based Wild Exotics Animal Refuge is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group that offers a haven for neglected exotic pets, accepts surrendered animals, works on rescues, gives medical care to exotic creatures and offers adoption services to qualified individuals.
