Amnesty Day 2008 :
Nonnative Pet Amnesty Day
 February 23, 2008
Miami Metro Zoo, Miami, Florida
10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
People can donate their unwanted nonnative pets free of charge with no
questions asked, at this one-day-only event.
All donated pets will be examined by a licensed veterinarian and if healthy,
we will try to place them with willing adopters.
Exotic reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and mammals will be accepted;
domestic pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets) will not be accepted.
 Amnesty
Day is a free event and open to the public. Educational exhibits and live
animals will be on display and experts will be on hand to answer questions
about exotic animals. Come and learn about being a responsible
nonnative
pet owner!
 If
you are interested in becoming a certified exotic pet adopter, please
download and fill out the
application form and
questionnaire.
There is no fee to become an adopter, but adopters must have experience with
and knowledge about the animals they would like to adopt and must meet
certain requirements. Certified
exotic pet adopters can adopt surrendered animals at Amnesty events, or
year-round through our Statewide Adoption Network. For more
information, please contact Jenny Tinnell by
email or at 850-926-0128.
To be eligible to adopt animals at the Amnesty Day event in February,
applications must be submitted by February 10, 2008. Applications
received after Feb. 10 will be processed for the Statewide Adoption Network.
