What the heck is an EARPS?

I have this amazing friend. Her name is Heather. She has this HUGE heart. And she is a woman with a heart of action, not just words. One of the many, many ways that she puts her heart into action is her involvement with a gorup called EARPS. Check out this fun opportunity to meet some unique animals and be part of a fundraiser to help them!!

Exotic Animal Rescue and Pet Sanctuary (EARPS) rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes any animal you've ever imagined. In my last shift, I cared for three guinea pigs, three degus, a snake, and ten rabbits. My spare bedroom is currently home to three gerbils, two rats, three ferrets, a chinchilla, a gecko, and a rabbit. Most of those are adoptable.

EARPS currently has around 200 animals, primarily in foster homes like ours. As a result of the large quantity of animals we have taken in, they are in desperate need of funds for vet care. The rummage sale is going to be huge - one entire room at the rescue is so full, my dog couldn't follow me in when I opened the door.

The sale is in the parking lot of the salon that houses our rescue. The doors will be open for anyone who would like to see some of the fun exotic pets currently available.
