FWC Pet Amnesty Day
Event Information:
Join us in an effort to reduce the number of nonnative animals being released into the wild by pet owners who can no longer care for their exotic pets. This event offers an opportunity for people to surrender their nonnative pets free of charge to the FWC with no questions asked. Every attempt will be made to place all healthy animals with qualified adopters. The event will be held in the Main Parking lot of the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens and is free to the public. There will also be animal encounters and informational booths.
The FWC is looking for potential adopters who are experienced pet owners and are willing to provide a home for the exotic pets expected to be surrendered at the Nonnative Pet Amnesty Day. Those who are willing to provide a home for the exotic pets should download an adoption application at http://www.myfwc.com/nonnatives.
