We are ontario's first registered charity reptile rescue specializing in one of the world's most misunderstood animals, the Red Ear Slider

Starting life as a coin sized pet, sliders often grow up to a foot in length and require aquariums larger than most people assume, and many of these creatures find their way into local streams and rivers.

As a small privately-run shelter that does not receive any formal government assistance, we rely solely on donations from the public to continue our mission to provide a temporary shelter for pet turtles, lizards and snakes that are looking for their forever homes.

Please be aware that Little RES Q is not a registered wildlife center.  Therefore, we are unable to take in any native species of reptiles at our location.  We do not have the facilities or permits to properly care for indigenous reptile populations and any requests will be diverted to the proper organizations.
