After realizing that there was no “pound for fish” and that people didn’t know what to do with their unwanted pets other than releasing them into the wild, we spearheaded the forming of a surrender network with the Green Bay Aquarium Society and began organizing Exotic Pet Surrender Events. These events are places local rescues could come together and accept unwanted pets in a safe, judgement free, place. These events offer people a “one stop shop” for surrendering any kind of pet. In February of 2020 we decided to focus on these aspects and formed J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue.
