Hello friends, family, and supporters of Lamia's Rescue Center we have been away from our page for a while. We have been concentrating on some wonderful events happening for the Center and we would love to provide updates for everyone. We have a bit of a mix in news for everyone. Some good, and some not so happy news.

First we would like to start off by saying thank you to each and every one of you. Without your help, and support we could not have accomplished all that we have so far to date. In the time frame the center has been open we have been able to help over 400 critter friends find their forever homes, whether the center took them in ourselves, or provided transportation for them, or arranged for them to go to a fellow rescurer. We are extremely proud we have accomplished this solely on our own and with the help of the centers friends and supporters.

I was always taught by my elders if you have good and not so good news, to lead with the not so good news. So here it goes, now its time for the not so good news... Lamia's Rescue Center is officially closing its doors, but we will not stop rescuing critter friends. We will no longer be a rescue center. However, Everything remains the same for every rescue already within the rescue center.

Now for the good news right? Lamia's Rescue Center will from now on be known as Lamia's Ranch. Here is the exciting part, everything that we have been working on behind the scenes is finally coming to light. We have been diligently working on expanding!!!!!! It's not the 3,000 acre sanctuary we would like our end goal to be, but it is a wonderful start, and hopefully we will expand even further. We are expanding to almost 23 acres!!!! We will now be refocusing our rescuing efforts. One huge focus is on all natural habitats for our critter friends that are at Lamia's Ranch. We will also be self sustaining. We are starting from scratch with an all wooded lot. We also (in the future) may have the ability to ad another 30-35 acres to us making our total acreage around 55-58 acres. For now we are extremely excited for the 23 acres we have.

We plan to have a 10x10 iguana habitat, a 10x10 water dragon habitat, (3) 40x40x40 aviaries, 16x16 tortious habitat and so much more.

Although there are tons of moving parts for this relocation, do not fear everything remains the same. If you need help, reach out. If you want to help, reach out. After things are settled we will be allowing everyone the opportunity to come to the Ranch by appointment only. However as of now that is not an option. We also plan to have streaming cameras for our habitats so you can watch them live. As always thank you for your time, help, and donations. You make it possible for us to do, and continue to do the work that we do to help every critter friend we can.

Lamia's Rescue Center would like to wish a very Happy Mother's Day to every mom, past and present. Today is the day we celebrate your selflessness you show us daily. The sacrifices you made to give your child a part of you, and to bring them into the world will never be given the thanks it deserves. Mothers are the only vessel on earth that can take two individuals and merge them into one soul. Mothers are the gateway from our ancestors to new life on earth. So to mothers everywhere both human and animal alike we would like to say thank you for all you do. Have a wonderful and safe Mother's Day!

Lamia's Rescue Center is extremely happy and proud to say we have done it all on our own with the help and support of our friends and supporters.

Since officially opening our doors in August of 2021 we have helped in every way we can. Since July of 2022 to the present day (November 12, 2023) Lamia's Rescue Center would like to announce we have helped 122 animals. Yes, 122 animals in a year and four months. We could not be happier with this accomplishment!

Whether we were transportation for another Rescuer/organization, or we helped coordinate a Rescue mission or we took them into our center, we have been able to accomplish this solely on our own! No government funds or grants. We have made rescue runs all over the state of Virginia, and to near by states including West Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and Pennsylvania. We have helped all over in as many ways as we can. We look forward to continuing to do such an amazing job for our animal friends.

!!!!!! THANK YOU TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS WHO MAKE THIS SUCH A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT !!!!!!

!!!!!! Glider Rescue Completed !!!!!!

We were contacted September 22, 2023 by a wonderful human friend who needed our help as fast as we could possibly help. She had 35 sugar gliders she wanted us to accept into our center. She is an older human friend who is undergoing some medical issues/care and just needed to downsize all her animal friends. She found placement for all of them but the gliders, so she reached out to us.

We were excited to help. The pick up was in Arizona. That is a lot of funding we just didn't have to go from Virginia to Arizona and back. So we strived to get the funding up. With no avail we started to reach out to friends of the center.

We reached out to Amber May (a friend of the center), and explained we needed help. She put us in contact with Guy Spaulding who is a admin of the page Sugar Glider Guardians. Once Guy and I spoke he put me directly in contact with the founder of the organization Alea Holladay. Upon talking with her and our original human friend, we were able to coordinate this huge rescue mission! Alea asked for adopters right away and was met with open arms by many adopters. Dan Bradford headed the Rescue movements, from obtaining them to dropping them off in their new homes. The Rescue was for less then 35 gliders as our human friend was able to find some homes for them close to her. The Rescue mission took place and was completed on November 10, 2023.

A huge THANK YOU to all who helped with this rescue. From helping with contact information, to coordination, to driving for the mission. We appreciate each and every one of you. We look forward to working with you all in our future. Lamia's Rescue Center is extremely blessed to have helped coordinate with this rescue mission.

Even if we can not accept into our center we strive to help every animal we can. It is always about the animals and getting them the help/care they may need. We love working with other rescue organizations to achieve such a great accomplishment.

If you need/want help with everything from information to rehoming or rescues of sugar gliders please reach out to us, or sugar glider guardians. Sugar Glider Guardians are on Facebook and may be reached on their website www.sugargliderguardians.com
