Iowa Reptile Rescue

Animal rescue in Des Moines, IA

We started in March 2008. We have already taken in over 25 reptiles, amphibians, and arachnids. We do not charge to take in animals; we then rehabilitate them, take them to the vet as needed; work with them on aggression when needed, and assist in medical issues until they are ready to find a new adoptive forever-home.
