Adoptable Pets in Texas
At Wichita Falls Reptile Rescue we are, first and foremost, reptile educators and care advisers. In this way we hope that we can prevent many animals from needing to be rescued or re-homed in the first place. We are experienced with many different species, including: Geckos, Anoles, Iguanas, Bearded Dragons, Monitors, Horned Lizards, aquatic and box turtles, tortoises, Colubrid, Boidae, and venomous snakes. We can advise you about a variety of captive care issues, and are available to speak to the public about the study and conservation of reptiles in the wild. We also have experience with squirrels and rabbits, and with some wild and domestic birds. We can assist in emergencies with these and many other animals, or direct you to another appropriate rescue group who can help.

While education is an important part of what we do, Wichita Falls Reptile Rescue is not merely an organization which asks for money to spread "awareness". We are also "doers", and we provide temporary to permanent sanctuary, medical care, and adoption to needy reptiles of many species. We strive to provide assistance to any reptile that is in need within reason and the bounds of our ability, housing, and funding. We are all volunteers and do this without pay or official funding from anyone. It's all done on donations. Most of this comes from our own pockets. Sometimes we get swamped and we don't always have the room or adequate housing for some species.

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

1. Feral Cat TNR Program

Many communities are embracing Trap, Neuter, Release programs (TNR) to improve animal welfare, reduce death rates, and meet obligations to public welfare.

2. High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

Low cost, high volume spay/neuter will quickly lead to fewer animals entering the shelter system, allowing more resources to be allocated toward saving lives.

3. Rescue Groups

An adoption or transfer to a rescue group frees up scarce cage and kennel space, reduces expenses for feeding, cleaning, killing, and improves a community's rate of lifesaving. In an environment of millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters annually, rare is the circumstance in which a rescue group should be denied an animal.

4. Foster Care

Volunteer foster care is crucial to No Kill. Without it, saving lives is compromised. It is a low cost, and often no cost, way of increasing a shelter's capacity, improving public relations, increasing a shelter's public image, rehabilitating sick and injured or behaviorally challenged animals, and saving lives.

5. Comprehensive Adoption Programs

Adoptions are vital to an agency's lifesaving mission. The quantity and quality of shelter adoptions is in shelter management's hands, making lifesaving a direct function of shelter policies and practice. In fact, studies show people get their animals from shelters only 20% of the time. If shelters better promoted their animals and had adoption programs responsive to the needs of the community, including public access hours for working people, offsite adoptions, adoption incentives, and effective marketing, they could increase the number of homes available and replace killing with adoptions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, shelters can adopt their way out of killing.

6. Pet Retention

While some of the reasons animals are surrendered to shelters are unavoidable, others can be prevented-but only if shelters are willing to work with people to help them solve their problems. Saving animals requires communities to develop innovative strategies for keeping people and their companion animals together. And the more a community sees its shelters as a place to turn for advice and assistance, the easier this job will be.

7. Medical and Behavior Programs

In order to meet its commitment to a lifesaving guarantee for all savable animals, shelters need to keep animals happy and healthy and keep animals moving through the system. To do this, shelters must put in place comprehensive vaccination, handling, cleaning, socialization, and care policies before animals get sick and rehabilitative efforts for those who come in sick, injured, unweaned, or traumatized.

8. Public Relations/Community Involvement

Increasing adoptions, maximizing donations, recruiting volunteers and partnering with community agencies comes down to one thing: increasing the shelter's exposure. And that means consistent marketing and public relations. Public relations and marketing are the foundation of all a shelter's activities and their success. To do all these things well, the shelter must be in the public eye.

9. Volunteers

Volunteers are a dedicated "army of compassion" and the backbone of a successful No Kill effort. There is never enough staff, never enough dollars to hire more staff, and always more needs than paid human resources. That is where volunteers come in and make the difference between success and failure and, for the animals, life and death.

10. Proactive Redemptions

One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims. Sadly, besides having pet owners fill out a lost pet report, very little effort is made in this area of shelter operations. This is unfortunate because doing so-primarily shifting from passive to a more proactive approach-has proven to have a significant impact on lifesaving and allow shelters to return a large percentage of lost animals to their families.

11. A Compassionate Director

The final element of the No Kill equation is the most important of all, without which all other elements are thwarted-a hard working, compassionate animal control or shelter director not content to regurgitate tired cliches or hide behind the myth of "too many animals, not enough homes." Unfortunately, this one is also oftentimes the hardest one to demand and find.

I hope you enjoy your BBB rating, seems like nobody likes your rescue because you're a money-first, treat people like shit now, kind of person, you spend all day talking shit to various rescues, and pages, defending your idiot opinion and conveniently call people Niggers, and Rednecks and all sorts of tripe, you make FAKE profiles, to keep commenting on the pages that block you, you are the worst person to be talking to someone when they lose things they love, your rescue is a sham, and I am sad you live in Texas and ruining my State with your bigotry and hatred. I hope ALL of your family, friends, animals perish and then you are left with no one but your horrendous thoughts. I hope you get shut down, fundraising pulled, and beat within an inch of your life and put in a stockade. Cheers fucker.

Soo, you say they are full of bigotry and hatred, but then your comment is full of bigotry and hatred LOL. You accuse them of not treating people fairly and not caring about people or animals, then proceed to wish them (and their animals – shame on you btw) harm....you really make no sense. Perfect example of what's wrong with people today.
