--Providing captive care education to the public;
--Participating in conservation efforts locally and internationally; and
--Engaging in rehabilitation and release of native species.
Background Statement
History of CoRHS
CoRHS was started in 1997, primarily a green iguana rescue located in Boulder.
It quickly became apparent that all pet-trade reptiles were in need of sheltering, and Colorado Reptile Rescue was officially founded as a 501c3 non-profit in 1998.
In 1999, we moved from Boulder to the City of Longmont.
In 2001, we moved to the outskirts of Longmont where we presently operate on 4 acres with spacious outside pens for turtles and tortoises.
In 2004, we changed our name to Colorado Reptile Humane Society, to better reflect our ongoing mission of sheltering reptiles.
