PROJECT 02 · PHOENIX VALLEY

Care starts with being ready.

Responsible saltwater rehoming takes more than an empty tank. We’re preparing the equipment, knowledge, and local relationships needed to make careful decisions.

Readiness is the work right now.

Saltwater rescue readiness is planned, and the setup is not fully equipped. This is not an open intake service. We cannot promise to accept animals, provide emergency response, or guarantee a placement.

Useful support is specific.

We welcome conversations about suitable aquarium equipment, testing and life-support supplies, experienced volunteer help, and responsible rehoming contacts. Please send the equipment type, condition, and general location before arranging a handoff.

Contact before moving an animal.

Describe the species, aquarium needs, and timing in your inquiry. Do not bring animals to an unconfirmed location or release them outdoors. Any possible assistance depends on a case-by-case conversation and suitable capacity.

Current Arizona rescue requests are reviewed individually. These project plans do not promise intake, emergency response or additional care capacity.
