My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Shadow Blaze – A Curious Explorer Looking for a Forever Home!

Shadow Blaze is a young, inquisitive ball python with a gentle nature and an adventurous spirit. Shadow’s foster family shares that this 3-foot-long python, with a 6-inch circumference, tends to hide during the day but becomes energetic and curious when exploring outside the habitat in the evenings.

Although Shadow’s exact age is unknown, their size suggests they are a sub-juvenile. Adult ball pythons can reach between 3 and 5 feet in length, with an average adult weight of 3 to 5 pounds. Shadow Blaze still has a bit of growing to do and, with the right care, could live a healthy, happy life of up to 30 or even 40 years, making this special snake a lifelong companion.

To thrive, Shadow will need a secure habitat with the appropriate temperature, humidity, substrate, and diet. The rescue will provide all the information needed to help Shadow’s new family set up a perfect environment for them.

After a challenging past — this snake was found abandoned in an apartment without food or water — they received medical attention at the shelter before coming to the rescue to finish recovering and get ready for their forever home.

More about this rescue

Small Breed Rescue of Southern California is an all-volunteer, non-profit, foster based organization funded by donations. We are dedicated to rescuing small breed dogs, small reptiles and select exotic pets primarily from public shelters and other rescues. Being committed to keeping administrative expenses low, virtually every dollar received goes directly to the care of the animals.

Our rescue is uniquely structured to rehabilitate animals who are at high risk of euthanasia due to manageable behavioral challenges, such as dogs who are declining in a shelter environment or reptiles / exotics that have not been properly handled over their lifetime. We develop relationships to accommodate these specific assistance needs, which is what differentiates us from other rescue organizations.

We have assembled a foster team that consists of experienced individuals who bring particular skills from the animal welfare industry. This enables us to grow, educate and enrich our foster community in a manner that supports our specific needs and those of our animals.

Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animals beyond the adoption process by providing education, training tips, resource references, and an open door policy to our adopters.
