• Sanctuary - An organization that operates a place of refuge where abused, neglected, unwanted, impounded, abandoned, orphaned, or displaced exotic animals receive care for their lifetime or until they can be released back to their natural habitat.
• Rehabilitation Organization - An organization that operates a place of refuge where abused, neglected, unwanted, impounded, abandoned, orphaned, or displaced exotic animals receive care until they can be adopted out or released back to their natural habitat.
• Rescue Organization - An organization that takes abused, neglected, unwanted, impounded, abandoned, orphaned, or displaced exotic animals and attempts to find new, caring homes for them.
