💚 Meet Pierogi — and check out their sweet new wheels! 💚

Pierogi came to our RRS Oasis with partial paralysis in their back legs. But thanks to the creativity and compassion of Ashe, one of our amazing summer interns, Pierogi is rolling into a brand new chapter! 🚗✨

Before coming into our care, this was likely the first real opportunity she has had to fully navigate on her own. It’s a huge milestone, and we couldn’t be more excited to give her a second chance to thrive! 🌿

Ashe’s current design is just the beginning — more improvements are on the way. Stay tuned as Pierogi continues her journey!

👍 Leave a like if you’re cheering her on — and let us know if you want to see more updates from Pierogi’s adventures! Be sure to also follow our sanctuary RRS Oasis!

🌿 Bean’s Ambassador Adventure – Part 2! 🌿

Guess what Bean is learning now? 🐢💚

Our little ambassador-in-training is working on a new skill called “targeting” — where he calmly touches his nose to a specific object. This helps his keepers guide him gently and sets the stage for even more advanced behaviors down the road!

🧠 All of Bean’s training is done using positive reinforcement — when he gets it right, he’s rewarded with his favorite leafy treats. 🥬 (Can you guess what his top snack might be?)

💬 Have you ever trained a pet using positive reinforcement? What treats worked best for them?
Or drop a 🦎 in the comments to cheer Bean on!

📸 Stay tuned — more behind-the-scenes moments from Bean’s journey are coming soon!

Meet Bean, our baby Prehensile Tailed Skink! 🦎💚
Born right here at the sanctuary on 12/16/24, Bean is one of our newest additions—and already working on getting comfy with climbing and bonding with our team. Socializing reptiles like Bean from a young age is so important to help them feel safe and calm when meeting new people at our shows.

You’ll also spot George in the videos—Bean’s dad! George and his mate have been together most of their lives (since the 80s!). When they came to us a few years ago, we chose to keep them together—and allow them to breed, which is actually vital for the female’s long-term health in this species.
We rarely allow breeding here (we’ve got over 400 animals!), but in this special case, it was the best choice for their wellbeing.

Stay tuned—we’ll be posting updates as Bean grows and learns, and giving you a peek into how we train some of our amazing scaly ambassadors! 🐾✨

📸 Snapshots like this are exactly why we’ve been sharing the wonder of reptiles for over 32 years!
We’re so lucky to have a passionate team who loves what they do—and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who’s invited us to be part of their special events. 💚🐍
Thanks for letting us bring smiles, education, and a little bit of wild fun to your day!

💚 The RRS Oasis Team wants to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out to support us last week 💚 With your help, we raised over $650 for the animals at RRS Oasis. 🎉

We had an absolute blast meeting so many new people and seeing a ton of old friends. From 🐢Cheeseburger (Red footed Tortoise) to 🐊Skittles (the American Alligator), we hope everyone got to meet a few of the incredible animals we care for every day.

We want to say thank you to the organizations that made this all possible! We are so grateful to Fuddruckers, The Cookie Monstah, and Jordan's Furniture for hosting us and giving us a space to play. We also wanted to give a huge thank you to the Gagnon Family, the Bryan Family, The Salem Art Gallery, Greater Boston Stage Company, Breakout Games, Boston Crawling, and the amazing animal artists here at RRS Oasis for their donations that made our raffle extra special and fun. Please check out all these fantastic organizations on and off facebook!

We hope everyone had a lovely dinner/dessert! We definitely did... even the turtles got a snack!🐢

Stay tuned for more events happening later this year! See you all again soon! 👋
