Wasatch Exotics Rescue

Meet Paco! He’s an enthusiastic eater who loves to hunt and eagerly takes food from tongs. Paco devours everything offered—crickets, dubia roaches, mealworms, superworms, hornworms, and silk worms—with equal gusto. He handles well for a leopard gecko and has a mellow demeanor. Paco is also quite active, especially during mealtime when the sky bugs are delivered!

Please message us if you are interested in Paco. His enclosure can be purchased separately!

SHORT-TERM VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for reliable and honest hard-working individual(s) who can help us organize our storage unit! This position does not involve direct interaction with animals.

Duties include separating out and storing similar items that are used in rescue functions. Items include decorations, lights, heaters, enclosures, and miscellaneous supplies. Some items will need to be cleaned - these can be taken home to be washed and brought back to be stored the following day. During the organizing process the volunteer(s) will take inventory of how many/what kinds of items we have. Along with separating and storing items we ask that the volunteer(s) also organize the layout of the storage unit to allow for ease of maintenance and future access. A handful of items will be deemed garbage/unusable, so please bring a few trash bags to discard those items. Garbage can be left at the unit if volunteer(s) do not wish to throw it away - we will dispose of it.

This position will best be performed with a group of individuals. This is a great opportunity for friends or family to work together to complete service hours needed for school//clubs/etc.

The storage unit is located in Sandy, volunteers MUST have reliable transportation to and from the unit. On the first day I will meet with the volunteer(s) to go over what we are looking to have done, orient everyone to what the items are and how to organize them, and answer any questions. From there the volunteer(s) are on their own to do help us out! We are happy to sign off volunteer service hour sheets for however long the volunteer(s) take to get the unit clean. It is just fine if the volunteer(s) do small chunks over the span of a few days. On the last day the volunteer(s) will need to drop off the storage unit key to a staff member’s house in Sandy.

Volunteer(s) must text Angela when they get to and leave the unit so we can keep track on our own ends of things!

Please send us a message if you’re interested!
