Areas Snakes 'n' Critters Animal Sanctuary serves
We do rescue and shelter in ,Tucson, AZ, Pima County, AZ. But we'll take in from other states if shipment or transportation is paid for. We also do shelter transfers of elderly or crippled. Our sanctuary is their "last home" before passin' over the Rainbow Bridge. Our critters are almost all special needs, either physically or emotionally. It gets quite expensive with lots of vet bills. They are the "throw away" critters and we hope that we can give 'em the best care, comfort and love, before they die. We need help, donations, volunteers, help with PR paperwork and filin' for grants. Prayers that my health will let me continue this work.

About Snakes 'n' Critters Animal Sanctuary
We are a no-kill shelter/sanctuary, rescuing critters in AZ, NV, CA depending on situation and circumstances.
We take abused, neglected, abandoned, elderly and mostly special needs.
We are the end home for critters before they die and they have a home for the rest of their lives.
We have horses, pot-bellied pigs, pigmy & dwarf goats, dogs (over 5 years old), birds not adoptable, non poisonous snakes, iguanas, bearded dragons and a timor monitor. All are either elderly, crippled, on special medications or supplements or behavioral problems due to mistreatment. They are here to finish out their lives, because they were unwanted, couldn't be kept due to physical problems or due to owner's death, etc.
My husband and I have been rescuing and tending critters for 27 years. I'm a retired RN, Vet Assistant and am still doing animal training.
My husband works fulltime, as we are the main support of 40 critters. Most will never be adopted, so we try to give them the best of care, training and lots of love and socializing. We have no volunteers or sponsors to help us.
Some, we've had for over 10 years and all have become pets. We love all animals and feel like we get lots of love back from them.
Please help us, help those who have no choice or voice in life as to what happens to them.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
