Description When we realized that people were releasing their unwanted exotic pets into the wild, we knew we had to do something to help these pets and their people. We founded JRAAR, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, to give people options for their pets other than releasing them into the wild. We offer a judgment free, safe place to surrender unwanted exotic pets including fresh and saltwater fish, invertebrates, and plants as well as birds, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and other exotic pets.

I met Jon Peter when I managed another rescue. Over time, we developed a working relationship which then grew to being a customer and a volunteer. I mentioned that I had been looking for a large bird, with talking abilities for a few years. On a random Saturday afternoon, I made the 2 hour drive for some supplies…and these two babies came in as a surrender. I told Jon I would sell my kidney to get my husband the perfect birthday present! Jon and I had this in the works while they were on the holding period. It was hard to keep a secret, but I brought my husband to see the birds for 3 visits. Jon helped us with preparation, provided supplies, gave us contact for the vet, and answered many questions! Jon made a dream come true for our family, we can’t thank him enough! Jon even got to hold Marley (Scarlet), while putting her in her bird carrier. I could go on and on about J&R! From the bottom of my family’s heart, thank you!

John and the staff at J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue were wonderful. They walked us through the adoption process, and were patient, answering any questions about care that we had. They have a passion for the creatures in their care. I am thankful to have this rescue in our community.

This place is amazing! Lots of neat animals and very friendly, knowledgeable owners! Adoption process was easy and thorough. My fiance and I just got 7 new pets in 3 days Along with helpful information on diet, tank/ cage set up, and care for our new additions! 10 out of 10 would recommend J & Rs!!! Thank you!! We will be back!!

Adopted two special needs leopard geckos. It is horrible that people let these animals get so bad before surrendering them. They now will have a home that will love and take care of them. I would like to say I agree with the cages being small but let us not blame these people for it. I believe they do the best they can and if people would stop buying and breeding maybe we wouldn’t need these rescues. If you don’t like the accommodations for these animals after visiting ,look on faccebook or where ever and donate some larger cages. Space is also a factor. Please keep doing what you do. Saving one unwanted animal at a time. Oh, and they also need a better racking system. So instead of dropping a bad review. Drop some supplies.

I came to J&R aquatics to surrender my leopard gecko, as I felt I wasn’t giving him the care he deserved. John and the other employees were so friendly, I felt confident that they would take good care of my gecko. Only weeks after surrendering him, Sheldon (the gecko) got adopted! I am so happy to know that Sheldon is in a good place now, and that the team at JR aquatics took such good care of him. (Here’s a photo of sheldon)

We were looking for a special needs bearded dragon and one was surrendered to them recently. Adoption process was fast and thorough and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely adopt another reptile from them when the time comes.
