My story

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

💘 Bucatini: A Slithery Sweetheart Searching for Love! 🐍❤️

Nothing says love like a warm embrace—just ask Bucatini, the giant noodle of affection who’s ready to wrap themselves around your heart!

Bucatini’s journey to love wasn’t easy. This young adult boa was found exploring a backyard, clearly far from home. Despite waiting at the shelter for an owner who never came, Bucatini never lost their gentle spirit. Now, they’re hoping to find a forever family who will cherish them for the incredible companion they are.

At 9 feet long and 20 lbs, Bucatini is a breathtaking, still-growing beauty with a heart as big as their size! This boa isn’t just stunning—they’re also a social butterfly (or should we say, social serpent?) who enjoys meeting new people. Whether making friends at adoption events or enjoying quiet moments with their caretakers, Bucatini has shown nothing but kindness and curiosity.

While Bucatini adores attention, they are strong and still growing, so their future family should have experience with large reptiles. They do well around respectful individuals but should always be supervised when interacting with small children—after all, even the sweetest snakes need handling with care!

Bucatini is ready to find the perfect match—someone with the space, experience, and love to provide the forever home they deserve. If you’re ready to welcome a gentle giant into your life, Bucatini is ready to be your Valentine!

💌 PLEASE NOTE:
📍 We can only accept applications from interested adopters in or near San Diego County, California.
🚗 We do not ship reptiles, but in some cases, we may work with applicants willing to travel within Southern California. This will depend on the specific animal and is at the discretion of the board of directors.

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.
