Arrowhead's main goal is protecting one of our most
valuable natural resources, Ohio wildlife. Our
rehabilitators have over 50 years of combined
experience in wildlife rehabilitation, and we aim to treat
and release every animal we can. From turtles hit by
cars to the snake that became a cat toy, we take in and
help any and all reptile wildlife.
Wild animals are never adopted as pets and are released
whenever possible.
If you find a turtle in the road, simply move
him to the other side and never take them home. Wild
animals can harbor disease and parasites and do not
appreciate being captive. If you are
interested in helping Arrowhead protect our native
reptiles and amphibians, please click

If you would like to support Arrowhead's rehabilitation and
release programs for injured native reptiles and
amphibians, please make a tax deductible donation

With new and ever changing
laws concerning reptiles and pets in general, the
following links will take you to information from state
and federal agencies concerning both exotic and native
pets. There may be local ordinances in your area that
this does not cover. Check for laws at the county
and municipal level you live in. Federal and state law
might not address a certain species of pet, but your
county or city may very well have a ban or
restrictions.
