Spock's Sanctuary

Spock's Sanctuary is open to the public!

Based right here in Des Moines, Iowa, Spock's Sanctuary rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes primarily reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate animals. Some of these animals join our educational sanctuary and storefront where the public can not only meet and greet our various animal ambassadors, but potentially take a new family member home!

We're Open!

Boarding Services

The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and answered every question we had as we went through each animal. They were patient with our daughter as she built up courage to hold the animals. She ended up having so much fun! It is great to see people take pride and work so hard to keep animals in the best environment and enclosures possible! This is an absolute must go to place for an animal engaging and educational experience!
