Discover Spock's Sanctuary
Get to Know Us!
Cam and Cole have been fascinated by animals for nearly their entire lives, and it was only natural that they would find similar passions toward exotic pets as they would go on to adopt a pet that would change much of their lives. Even after many years, their passion for what they do has only grown!
Spock's Story
A juvenile veiled chameleon was adopted by Cam and Cole on June 24th, 2020. Spock was adopted on a whim, as can be said for many of the animals that were adopted during the pandemic. When he got home, Spock was provided an enclosure that matched exactly what the pet store had described, but it wasn't meeting any of his needs. After doing extensive research, Spock received a complete upgrade, with an environment that allows him to thrive. Cam and Cole founded Spock's Sanctuary to combat the misinformation that prevents exotic companion animals from getting the proper care and living long and happy lives.
Spock's Sanctuary Today
Now, Spock's Sanctuary has grown to so much more than originally anticipated. Our various services and facets allow us to cater to the owners and those who want to learn about these creatures, but most importantly, it allows us to give these animals what they deserve. Everything we do is Animal - First and we do things the right way, not the easy way.
A Multifaceted Approach:
Adoptions
The animals at Spock's Sanctuary are almost entirely surrendered individuals from homes that weren't able to take care of them any more for one reason or another. This means that each animal adopted in our storefront is helping support the animal themselves, rather than supporting larger entities or chains.
Education
Through our educational, hands on sanctuary and our various educational shows and events, we have been able to educate hundreds of individuals about these animals, their environments, and the stories that led to them calling the Sanctuary home. This allows us to get the next generation passionate about the animals of this world and gives them an appreciation for nature and the beings within it.
Storefront
Through our storefront and this website, we strive to provide the reptile and amphibian community with products that are not only cost effective, but high quality for their pet's well being. We also are able to provide boarding, consultation, and a variety of other services to keepers in the community that want to rest assured knowing their animals will have the most up to date and quality information guiding their care.
Our Mission
The mission of Spock's Sanctuary is to educate the public about animals and to improve quality of life for exotic pets everywhere.
Our Vision
Spock's Sanctuary aspires to change the exotic companion animal industry towards a focus on the wellbeing and long, healthy lives of the unique organisms available. We want people to rest assured knowing the information is accurate and trustworthy.
