Reptacular Animals Ranch Fire Fund

Donation protected


In addition to others all over Southern California, Reptacular Animals suffered  a major loss. Early this morning Reptacular Animals Ranch located in Sylmar,Ca went up in flames around 11am, Dec 5th. 2017

Reptacular Animals Ranch is home to over 500 animals. Farm animals, reptiles, birds, a zebra, camel, the list goes on...
Fortunately enough, with the help of an amazing crew, all animals, household members and staff made it out safely.  All structures that house the animals were destroyed. 
Not only is the Ranch home to the animals, but home to the small business owners, Jennifer and Cory Lagusker(serves in the US Army), their 3 year old son, and their extended family. Everything was lost in the Creek Fire. Their 3 bedroom home, their RV that housed their extended family, cars, belongings and animal supplies and cages.
I am organizing a Gofundme page in hopes of being able to provide some supplies for them and the animals and to rebuild the animal housing structure. Currently the animals are being housed at our sister location in Antelope valley and in a small home in North Hollywood. The animals are in carrier containers and we need cages so that they are comfortable.
We are asking for any monetary donations, big or small, item donations, services to help rebuild(electrician, constructions, etc) or some shares if you are unable to donate.

Item donations can be dropped off at Jennifer's Fathers house (7438 Farmdale Ave. North Hollywood, Ca) between 9am-7pm. Please email [email redacted]. com to arrange another time and for questions on specific items.

Items needed include:
-CAGES for small and large birds, reptiles, bunnies, small mammals, chickens/ducks
-FOOD for bunnies, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, parrots, tortoises
-WATER/FOOD DISHES for reptiles, small mammals, bunnies, hamsters, rats
-BEDDING for small mammals and reptiles

CLEANING SUPPLIES - Brushes, brooms, soap, hand sanitizer
