About Us
Where the weird and wild come to life...
Sara's Pets and Plants is a small, independently owned pet rescue and supply store opened in October 2018. We focus on rescuing and adopting out animals such as cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, small mammals, insects and fish. We also sell plants, pet and plant products, and everything else in between!
We love to work with the community and offer education classes on the best pet and plant care, fun activities and fundraisers!
Stop in to see the permanent residents of the store: Burt the bearded dragon, Mildred the alligator, Princess Peach the chicken, Petey the parrot and Large Marg the 10ft red tailed boa.

We pride ourselves in taking in, and adopting out as many animals as possible. Most pet stores sell animals that come from breeders or from the wild. Why buy from a breeder when there are so many animals already in the pet trade that need need a loving home?
We partner with local rescue groups to find forever homes for as many animals as possible!

About the Owner, Sara.
Sara grew up loving and caring for all animals; so much so, that she decided to make a career out of it! She graduated from Penn State with a degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science. During that time she interned at the Pittsburgh Zoo, and Humane Animal Rescue Wildlife Center, and also studied wildlife conservation, ecology, and biology in Tanzania. She then moved to Dubai to work as a biologist in a rainforest biodome, and quickly became the department head of reptiles and amphibians. She has since completed her masters degree in Anthrozoology, and plans to eventually pursue a PhD. She has worked with and studied hundreds of different exotic species, and loves that she can now share her knowledge and love for animals with customers at the store!
