Will Petco take my pet lizard if I can no longer care for it?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Hello, I have a water dragon and it has MBD, I've tired to take care of it but it's being coming to difficult especially with my fincial situation. I was wondering if I could either give my lizard to petco but I am unsure if this is allowed. Please let me know as soon as you can. Thank you

Hello,

Many Petcos will accept surrendered pets. It depends on individual location. Call your local store and if they do not accept surrenders, they should be able to tell you the closest location to you that does.
I hope this is helpful.
