How to........?

gargoyle

My husband and I want to start up a reptile rescue service. We already take in unwanted reptiles and then rehome them, but thought it would be better if we could provide it as rehoming database and raise money for equipment etc. I've never started a charity but this is something we both feel very passionately about and rather than just saying "what if...." we thought we'd do it. There are so many reptiles that get neglected because they can't show they are hurting and then die needlessly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
