My story

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

Meet Bucatini: The slithery giant noodle of a sweetheart ready to find a forever home! 🐍

Bucatini is a young adult boa with a story that’s as intriguing as their name! Found exploring someone’s backyard, Bucatini clearly wasn’t a local resident but an escaped pet in need of help. After being brought to the shelter and waiting for their owner (who never showed up), Bucatini was transferred to our rescue to find a new, loving home.

At about 7 feet long and 17 lbs, Bucatini is a stunning, still-growing boa with a heart of gold. Their gentle nature and handleability make them a delight to be around. If Bucatini could talk, we’re sure they’d be expressing regret over being lost, but instead, they’re ready to move on and find a family who’ll cherish them.

Bucatini loves meeting new people and has enjoyed attending adoption events where their friendly demeanor shone through. They’re great with everyone but should be supervised around children, especially when being held. As Bucatini is still growing and can be quite strong, it’s essential to approach them with care and respect their body language—whether they’re ready to socialize or just want to chill.

This beautiful boa will thrive in a home with someone experienced in caring for large reptiles. Bucatini’s charm and kind nature make them a perfect addition to the right family who can offer the space and expertise they need.

If you’re ready to provide a loving home for Bucatini and continue their journey of healing and happiness, click the Adoption Application button at the bottom of their bio on the rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/2247

Let’s find Bucatini the forever home they’ve been waiting for!

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.
