Sugar Glider Sugar Bear Glider Rescues 4

 

The popularity of sugar glider sugar bears has brought forth an old internet scam of sugar glider sugar bear rescues. These are aimed at innocent animal lovers who genuinely want to help animals. These scams claim that you can help them by adopting abandoned sugar glider sugar bears that have nowhere else to go. This is far from truth, as can easily be verified by calling up any animal shelter. In fact, most animal shelters would never have gotten an abandoned sugar glider sugar bear ever. The breeding of sugar glider sugar bears is federally regulated by USDA and you should make sure to follow their regulations.

 

There are three most common ways in which these illegal internet operations work – they pose as pet owners with new born babies and wanting for find a home for them, they fake their identity as small breeders beyond the jurisdiction of USDA or they pretend to run a sugar glider sugar bear rescue to help unwanted sugar glider sugar bears find a home. All of these are scams, but they may have an elaborate convincing story with a well maintained website to back it up. It is always better to avoid buying pets on the internet, as you cannot interact with the pet beforehand and know about it. Also, any problems with the pet are very difficult to detect online. Most sugar glider sugar bears sold online are those that have never bonded to humans or which are too old to breed and therefore the seller wants to get rid of them, which is sad though true.

 

If you would really like to help sugar glider sugar bears, get your name in the adoption list at your local animal shelter and they will give you a call in the rare case that they get an abandoned sugar glider sugar bear. Another thing you can do is ask your Vet to join Association of Sugar glider sugar bear Veterinarians that is free to join for a Vet and is a legitimate association to take care of abandoned sugar glider sugar bears all over the country. In this, the adoption is completely free and they also offer a free health check up prior to adoption.
