Pawsome Pet in Need!
At this time most of the animals are doing well. Any donations we receive will go towards food, litter, supplements, medications, and vaccinations for the Foster and Sanctuary Animals in our care.

Kankuro is a rescued snake who came to us from another rescuer whose circumstances changed drastically and they needed a place for several reptiles to go. We weren't looking to add another Ball Python into the sanctuary but we were happy to take him in. That was over 15 years ago!
Rescuing a Reptile is serious business. Many reptiles, like Birds, live very long lives. A well cared for Ball Python can live up to 30-35 years in captivity! Some individuals have been said to make it to 50 while while in the wild they can only expect about 10-15 due to predation by other animals INCLUDING humans.
Kankuro, who was already around 10 years old, was a guy who occasionally would get into a little trouble. In fact, in his previous home he managed to disappear for 2 months and was found hiding in a couch! Here at ALPRAS he has been a pretty good boy and also has a very very secure enclosure to keep him safe. Now at a healthy roughly 25 years old, we can expect to have him a good while longer.

With all animals, it is imperative you do research. Whether its as commonplace as a cat or dog breed, standard pocket pets like Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, and Rats, more 'Exotic' types like Birds and Reptiles, and ABSOLUTELY extreme exotics...
DO. YOUR. RESEARCH.
Many animals require far more care than most people expect.
For the health and happiness of both you and your pets its always best to seek professional advice whenever possible.
