The Reptile and Amphibian Discovery Zoo (RAD Zoo) will be closing its public facility at the Medford Outlet mall on January 1, 2025.
As part of this process, they are looking for good homes for many of their animals!
On Sunday, December 1 from 1 to 5pm, they will be having an animal adoption day, along with a zoo exhibit and infrastructure sale at the zoo. Not all of the zoo’s animals will be available for adoption. They are going to be continuing their traveling reptile programs, so they are saving many animals, but will have a large number of animals available for adoption as well.
Some of these animals would make good pets, but many of them will require the care of more advanced animal keepers. Venomous snakes and crocodilians will not be available for adoption as they will be going to other zoological institutions. There will be adoption fees for many of the animals that are going out for adoption. Animals can be picked up on the day of the event, or arrangements can be made for you to come and pick them up over the 10 days following the event during regular business hours.
Come prepared with snake bags, or other suitable containers to transport anyone you might like to take home!
The Zoo address is 6750 W. Frontage Road, Suite 402, Medford, Minnesota. You are welcome to contact them with any questions at mnradzoo@aol.com.
