Chicagoland Exotic Animal Rescue

Rescue. Rehabilitate. Rehome. Educate.

As of August 14, 2026 CLEAR is on hiatus from accepting all new intakes for the foreseeable future so that we can focus on caring for the critters currently in our population.

Thanks for reading, and best of luck rehoming your pet

Our Mission

Rescue

We rescue exotic bird, reptile, and fish species commonly found in the pet trade.

Rehabilitate

As a boutique animal rescue, we strive to keep a small census so as to provide the very best individualized care to our unique population.

Rehome

It is important to us to make our adoption and foster processes as streamlined as possible.

Educate

CLEAR offers community outreach programs to schools, houses of worship, retirement communities, and more!
