Texas Critters Need Homes

Animal rescuers in Texas are trying to find homes for 2,000 exotic animals, including fire-bellied toads and iguanas. WildRescue Inc., an animal welfare partner of the Petco Foundation, said it has snakes, lizards, hermit crabs and fancy mice for adoption at 22 Petco stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The animals were among the 27,000 seized in December from U.S. Global Exotics in Arlington, Texas, due to inhumane conditions.
