About Our Rescue

Founded by Adrian and Jennifer who started out owning humble leopard geckos, eventually deciding they wanted to adopt a ball python. Once word got around that they were reptile owners, people who they worked with started asking them to help them with thier reptiles. Soon People started contacting them with unfortunate circumstances around thier animals asking them to take them. A need in the community seemed to be presenting itself so they started A and J in order to properly help scaled friends in need. We provide intake, medical treatment, and behavioral rehabilitation for reptiles and aquatic species in need. We prioritize enrichment, proper husbandry, and adopter education to ensure every placement is safe and permanent. Transparency and welfare prioritize everything we do.
