Wildlife and Domestic Rescue/Rehab
-Reptiles and Amphibians-
This is for wild animals that have been injured, and need a little time to heal so they can be released. I also take in domestics, depending on the situation, and help rehome to approved applicants. After getting a health evaluation at our Millsap vet, and lab work back, they will be listed on this site for adoption. I currently work with Palo Pinto and Parker (the game wardens and animal control) and the surrounding counties (also offer snake relocation).
If you dont have items to donate, but still want to help out please purchase from the-

Adoption Procedure
As an adopter, you'll fill out the adoption application and attach photos and/or video submission of your setup prepared for the species you wish to adopt. We will politely advise you if modifications are necessary. Proof of a proper setup is required. If you need advice on how to create the ideal environment or need time to create your setup for your new friend, please feel free to give us a call and/or leave that information in the email. If you need to contact us directly please call or text 214-455-4145.
Due to the enormous size a sulcata tortoise will obtain, you must own your home to be eligible to adopt one.
Adoption fees are associated with all reptiles/amphibians to be rehomed. These adoption fees and donations aid us in everything we do for these creatures!!
Once your form and setup has been approved, the adoption fee is to be donated via Paypal. An invoice will be sent to the email address provided. A deposit can be made to hold a reptile for up to 2 weeks. Payment plans are available under special circumstances only. We'll then schedule a day and time with you to come and pick up your new friend from our location, or schedule to meet at a designated location. We can also offer the option of shipping through shipyourreptiles.com, but it is a little expensive, so keep that in mind.
You will be asked to sign an adoption contract stating that the animal is not to be sold, traded, or given away. If ever unwanted or cannot be provided for, the animal is to be surrendered back to Living Wild Outside. There is absolutely no judgement for having to surrender an adopted animal, you have our full discretion. As rescuers, we strive to eliminate animal flipping, animal hoarding, and essentially decrease the quantity of animals in need of rescue. We want our rescues placed in permanent, loving, qualified homes!!

These two are a couple of yellow bellied sliders. They get their own tank seperate from Mr.Pickles because they prefer veggies over protein. They are totally bonded and do their little courting dance often, but because of the major size difference, we dont have to worry about babies.
