Fresh Start Rescue Inc

August 15, 2018 - Fresh Start Rescue Inc has formally become adoption partners with PetSmart! This means that we'll be setting up some of the local PetSmart shops on weekend's we're not doing other events. Now when you adopt from us, you get rewards from PetSmart and so do we! Unfortunately, right now PetSmart doesn't have any reptile specific discounts in the adoption kit but if you have a dog or cat, you might still be interested in it. The rescue gets much needed donations from PetSmart Charities with every animal adopted.

July 28, 2018 - TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT!!!!! Come join the rescue and our reptiles at the Juggling Gypsy tonight at 6pm. The amazing 90s grunge cover band Just Yesterday will be playing and Poor Piggys food truck will be there to serve food for the first few hours. All proceeds go to the care of our animals. This is our first fundraiser so let's make it amazing!!! 1612 Castle Street in Wilmington

April 29, 2018 - Fresh Start Rescue Inc is now a part of PayPal's Giving Fund and eBay for Charity! Don't forget we're a part of Amazon Smile and Facebook Charities too. Please support us on your favorite shopping websites!

April 3, 2018 - Fresh Start Rescue Inc purchased a pull behind trailer to help us carry all our equipment to events and to help us with large rescues. We are growing every day and our small truck just couldn't keep up! We're currently designing a wrap for the trailer so everyone will know who we are driving down the road!

March 5, 2018 - Fresh Start Rescue Inc is planning it's very first fundraiser! We'll be hosting it at the Juggling Gypsy Bar in Wilmington, NC. We've already booked the band Just Yesterday - an amazing grunge band playing all your favorites from the good old 90s grunge era up until newer music. We'll also have a food truck available and snake to pictures with. More details to come, so keep an eye on our facebook page!

Sept 12, 2017 - Fresh Start Rescue Inc is not only an approved charity on Facebook Charities but we have also partnered with Amazon Smile. When you use our link, or choose our charity, a portion of your sale will be donated to our rescue! Let's face it, most of us are addicted to Amazon (I know all the delivery people by name!). Now you can donate to your favorite rescue without any extra effort or money out of your own pocket!!
July 29, 2017 - Our team was invited to an Open House for the brand new Cape Fear Community College Vet Tech Program. Hopefully as classes begin, we will start working closely with the school to help train new vet techs in exotic animal handling.
July 2017 - Fresh Start Rescue Inc has become official. We have separated from our last rescue and signed up all our members. Our paperwork is filed and legal, and all we need to do now is apply for specialty licenses which allow us to take in native and endangered species.

Our animals not only draw a huge crowd but they offer great educational opportunities about exotic reptiles. As a 501c3 we do not believe in charging a set fee for events, however, we must ask for a donation to cover our time and travel. For most festivals, all we ask is a free vendor space and the right to sell our fundraising products at our table.

We love what we do and love educating people about our animals!
