Animal Rescue Center Coming to Lake Forest

You can help this rescue group get started.

Reptile Rescue of Orange County (RROC) received the keys to their new location in Lake Forest yesterday and started tearing down the walls to create an open area.

RROC is an Orange County based 501(c)3 Non-Profit Public Benefit Organization. RROC's purpose is to find quality homes for reptiles, amphibians, Invertebrates, and all other exotic animals that people can no longer care for. RROC also provides education for the public relating to exotic animals. We carefully screen all potential adopters.

RROC will take in any reptile, amphibian, arachnid, or other exotic animal that needs a new home and/or medical attention. We have years of experience keeping and working with these animals.

It’s pretty exciting to have this group opening up their headquarters in Lake Forest.

Things are moving VERY fast and they need all the support they can get right now. They are in need of lots of items for the animals. They have updated their wish list located at www.reptilerescueoc.org/wishlist.htm and have setup an Amazon.com wish list with much needed items at https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist?sa-no-redirect=1&cid=A1OWKM142D111G&pldnSite=1 Please help support this great organization so that they may start taking in animals who need help.
