LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. —
The Forgotten Friends Reptile Rescue in Lancaster County took in a dozen exotic animals earlier this week. The animals were left behind after their owner unexpectedly passed away.
Now, the nine ball pythons, two lizards, and a scorpion are in need of new homes.
According to Jesse Rothacker with the Forgotten Friends Reptile Rescue, “The family told us he just wanted these animals to go to a good home. That was their biggest concern. They knew their son loved his reptiles so much.”
Rothacker said the reptiles have been well taken care of and are all in good health.
Right now, though, the rescue doesn’t have enough room to keep them. So, it’s holding an adoption event this weekend.
“I expect we’re going to have a lot of people. We’re already getting a lot of emails, Instagram and Facebook messages,” Rothacker said.
Anyone interested in taking one of the pets home will have to fill out an application and pay a small adoption fee.
“It’s about people finding a forever home for some of these pets that really need them,” Rockacker said.
The adoption event is planned for this Saturday, Feb. 3 at That Fish Place, That Pet Place on Centerville Road in Lancaster. It runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
