You are doing a great job relocating animals, but are you "rescuing" them? With the exception of "the giant"[burmese], how many animals were saved from death's grip? You have simply acted as a broker. What are you doing to ensure that these animals aren't again on your doorstep in need of "rescueing"? "Loving, wonderful homes" does not even in the least imply educated, committed, or solvent. As for your plea for donations, I agree with the other posts that your status is misleading or at best undefined.



To properly become a rescue organization, I suggest looking into a wildlife rehabilitation permit through your states wildlife and fisheries department. Obtain funding and appropriate "not for profit" status and don't plan on being self funding or funded through "adoption fees." If you want to be a panderer of animals maybe you should just open a pet store yourself (dig). Instead, do things to educate people before they make ill-planned decisions about reptiles. Be active and educate yourself before biting off more than you can chew.
