Smoky Mtn exotics rescue and rehabilitation
Located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Smoky Mtn Exotics Rescue & Rehabilitation extends dedicated shelter, healing, and hope to a diverse community of extraordinary companion animals in need.
Exotic species welcomed into our sanctuary care
Smoky Mtn Exotics Rescue & Rehabilitation cares for a wide variety of exotic animals beyond parrots. Depending on space and available resources, we assist with reptiles, lizards, geckos, small exotic mammals, sugar gliders, African micro squirrels, hedgehogs, spiders, scorpions, and other unique companion animals. Each animal receives individualized care, proper nutrition, enrichment, rehabilitation, and veterinary attention when needed to prepare adoptable animals for knowledgeable forever homes.
Comprehensive rehabilitation and veterinary attention
Every exotic animal that enters our sanctuary receives an individual assessment tailored to their species, condition, history, and immediate needs. We deliver species-specific nutrition, hydration, secure housing, enrichment, handling, and continuous daily monitoring. Animals that arrive sick, injured, neglected, or underweight receive veterinary care, medications, wound management, and customized rehabilitation plans focused on rebuilding strength, reducing stress, and encouraging natural behaviors.
Forever adoptions, sanctuary life, and how you can help
Many exotic animals are lovingly rehabilitated and matched with screened adoptive families, while others remain permanent sanctuary residents or transition to trusted partner facilities based on their health and long-term needs. Whether you apply to adopt, reach out regarding a responsible surrender, foster, or make a donation toward vital food, habitats, and medical care, every supportive action gives these vulnerable creatures a safe future.
