I have always had a passion for animals and had many cats and dogs as a kid. My love of reptiles began in 2013 with Chinese Water Dragon named "Dude".
Now Great Lakes Urban Raptors is home to over 30 various scale babies and 12 fur babies. My goal is to breed and raise exceptional animals that are unique and healthy.
Great Lakes Urban Raptors is a family-owned and operated business that runs out of our home. We are not a large-scale breeding operation, and never plan to be. I will always strive for quality over quantity. My 2 daughters help out with all of the animals. They help me at feeding and cleaning times, and also handle all of the animals in our home.
I also offer pet boarding in my home. All critters are welcome. I have experience administering vaccinations and medications, orally or by injection. I have a dedicated "reptile room" that houses all of my cold-blooded critters and a large outdoor dog run with free access indoors for the big furry critters. If you are interested in boarding with us, our rates are very reasonable, but vary per species and the level of care needed.
I am also able to drive (within reason) to pick up an animal or bring your animal to the vet, if needed. If you require transportation services to pick up, drop off, deliver, etc, I charge fuel cost plus $10 per hour. I can currently only do local driving due to work, but that may possibly change in the future based on needs.
