Blue Ridge Reptile Rescue

Does BRRR offer shipping?
Yes, as long as the weather permits safe shipping.  The definition of safe can vary by species.  

Can I ship an animal to BRRR for rescue?
Yes, as long as the weather permits safe shipping.  The definition of safe can vary by species.  Contact us if you are unsure.  Please also use only shipping containers designed for reptile safety and notify us to expect your pet.

Is there a time limit for how long an animal can stay at BRRR?
No.  Animals may stay as long as it takes for them to overcome any medical or behavioral problems and find the right adoptive family.

Is BRRR a no-kill shelter?
Yes.  We will never euthanize animals because they have been here too long or has bad behavior.  We will only euthanize an animal who is in severe pain and has no medical possibility of recovery.  

Do you hold animals?
No.  Our goal is to get each animal into the right family as soon as we can.  This means that we can't just hold an animal while you decide or find a good time to make the trip.  For approved adopters, we do offer the option for you pay your adoption fee online and then board your new pet. 

Do you offer tours or educational visits?
No.  We are all volunteer and do not have the staff or time for tours. We recommend that you visit a local zoo instead.
