About Us
A Foster-Based Exotic Animal Rescue
Unlike traditional shelters, we do not operate a physical facility. Every animal in our care lives in an approved foster home where they receive one-on-one attention, proper habitat setup, and specialized husbandry tailored to their species.
This foster-based model allows us to better evaluate each animal’s health and behavior while preparing them for successful, permanent homes.
Wasatch Exotics Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit exotic animal rescue serving Salt Lake City, Ogden, Provo, and communities throughout the Wasatch Front.
We would like to acknowledge our founders for whom brought our mission to life. Angela Pollack, Marybeth Spencer, and Mitchell Christiansen have devoted countless hours to making the rescue what it is today. Without their efforts, none of this would have been possible.
