We regularly get surrender requests for 50, 80, even 100+ axolotls at a time. But we’re foster-based—which means every intake depends on YOU.

If you’ve got space in your tank and heart, we’ve got flower babies, wild types, melanoids and more waiting for a soft landing.

Fostering is temporary. The impact is forever.

New research reveals that axolotls rely on their sympathetic nervous system—the same “fight or flight” network humans use—to prime stem cells across the body for regeneration.

This means they don’t just heal at the injury site; their whole body prepares to regrow. Understanding this process could open doors for regenerative medicine in people.

Very interesting... we'll be keeping our eyes on this 👀

Biologists have long been fascinated by the ability of salamanders to regrow entire limbs. Now Harvard researchers have solved part of the mystery of how they accomplish this feat—by activating stem cells throughout the body, not just at the injury site.

We’re a foster-based axolotl rescue—which means every intake depends on the space and care our volunteers can provide.

We often receive surrender requests for 50, 80, even 100+ axolotls at a time. While we can’t take them all, we do everything we can… and that starts with YOU.

Fostering is:
🛁 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝: We provide supplies and guidance
💖 𝐓𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐲: You help them heal and prepare for adoption
🌊 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥: Every foster opens space for another life to be changed forever

Whether you’re an experienced keeper or just axo-curious, we’d love to hear from you!

🌸 OPERATION FLOWERS: A Rescue Road Trip 🌸

If you’ve been peeking at our website or scrolling our FB page lately, you might’ve spotted some new little faces… 👀

Last weekend, our team launched a massive rescue mission we’re calling Operation Flowers—and it was a wild ride.

🚗💨 On Saturday, volunteers from MA and CT hit the road to Rhode Island to meet a gentleman who had over 100 axolotls in need of homes. Thanks to some quick coordination and a whole lot of heart, we were able to open space for 13 lucky flower babies (yes, they’re all named after flowers and plants 🌼🌿).

Here’s how it unfolded:

🌱 2 axolotls headed to CT with their new foster mom

🌷 11 traveled to Framingham, MA, where 9 were picked up by our VP and taken to fosters north of Boston and in NH

🌻 1 was rushed to an exotic vet for urgent evaluation and care

🌾 Another rode shotgun with our President to meet their foster dad in southeastern MA

By nightfall, our team had driven 700+ miles and donated 40+ hours to make sure these babies landed safely in loving foster homes.

💡 Did you know? We often get surrender requests for 50, 80, even 100+ axolotls at a time—usually raised from accidental clutches. As a foster-based rescue, our capacity depends entirely on our team size. We’re growing, but we’re not yet equipped to take in hundreds at once.

Still, we do what we can. And this time, “what we can” meant 13 lives forever changed. 💖
