| PLEASE Use GoodSearch where Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary was the FEATURED CHARITY OF THE DAY on Saturday April 26, 2008 |
| Critter Camp recently received a grant from the D.A.S. Charitable Fund which helps in the care of animals from Lake County Illinois. Critter Camp has accepted homeless pets from Lake County, most recently Jax and Verde the parrots, & Speedie the blind sugar glider, and the chickens!. We greatly appreciate the assistance we have received from the Fund! Thank you!!! |
| Our Belief: At a certain point re-homing pets, particularly the unusual and exotic ones, at all costs often serves only to make the people involved feel better about themselves, regardless of the stability and continuity of care the elderly, abused or ill animal, actually needs. Euthanizing such animals brings the rescuer down to the universally despised level of “puppy-mills” in that if an animal is no longer useful to humans it must be killed. This is incredibly heartbreaking. Again, people bred every one of these pet animals for human enjoyment and/or profit, therefore we as humans have an obligation to provide quality care for these animals for their entire lives whether or not they are “pet quality.” |
| We are currently not able to accept the following pets because we are at capacity in their enclosures: Rabbits Ferrets Iguanas Once we have built our proposed sanctuary we will be able to take these types in again. We do still have room for all other exotic pets. |
