๐ธ OPERATION FLOWERS: A Rescue Road Trip ๐ธ
If youโve been peeking at our website or scrolling our FB page lately, you mightโve spotted some new little facesโฆ ๐
Last weekend, our team launched a massive rescue mission weโre calling Operation Flowersโand it was a wild ride.
๐๐จ 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, theyโre all named after flowers and plants ๐ผ๐ฟ).
Hereโs how it unfolded:
๐ฑ 2 axolotls headed to CT with their new foster mom
๐ท 11 traveled to Framingham, MA, where 9 were picked up by our VP and taken to fosters north of Boston and in NH
๐ป 1 was rushed to an exotic vet for urgent evaluation and care
๐พ 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.
๐ก Did you know? We often get surrender requests for 50, 80, even 100+ axolotls at a timeโusually raised from accidental clutches. As a foster-based rescue, our capacity depends entirely on our team size. Weโre growing, but weโre not yet equipped to take in hundreds at once.
Still, we do what we can. And this time, โwhat we canโ meant 13 lives forever changed. ๐
