My story

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

Meet Star – A Bright, Beautiful Geckos Looking for a Forever Home!

Star is a sweet and easygoing gecko, full of personality and ready to shine in a forever home. Though small in size, they are a big commitment, with a potential lifespan of up to 20 years and the ability to grow up to 10 inches long. Star may be tiny, but they will need the proper care and attention for many years to come!

As a nocturnal insectivore, Star enjoys eating a variety of bugs and socializing in the evenings. They love to be handled and are often found at adoption events, where they are calm and easy to interact with. While Star doesn’t have sticky fingers like some other geckos, they are quite delicate. They may drop their tail if startled, which can impact their health, so it's important to keep them calm and avoid this stress.

Star needs their own habitat and cannot cohabitate with other geckos, even of the opposite gender. They thrive best when given their own space to flourish. Star came into the shelter sick, weak, and starving, but with the care of their foster family at SBRSC, they are now healthy and thriving, with their beautiful colors returning.

If you think Star could be the perfect companion for you and would like to get to know them better, fill out the quick application on our rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/9394

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.
