Green Iguana Society Team News
|
The Green Iguana Society Team had a busy year in 2009. Our personal lives kept us all quite occupied with events - some sad and some happy. But through it all we found time to keep the web site up, the message board humming and adoptions successful. We didn't add any new team members this year, but our core group enjoyed working together as always. Dana returned to us after a well-deserved hiatus, and we were happy to have her back.

Adoption News
|
We listed 105 new iguanas on our adoption board this year. The number of successful adoptions picked up quite a bit this year, although we listed slightly fewer iguanas on the board in 2009 than in 2008. We are happy to report that 29 iguanas were successfully adopted through our organization in 2009 (see above). Thanks to all who have helped us find good homes for these igs! We are happy to see that the decrease in the number of iguanas put up for adoption over the past couple of years is continuing, and we remain hopeful that this is an indication that more iguanas are able to stay with their original owners in their forever home.

Special thanks to Raptor-Net Internet Services for generously donating free server space to the Green Iguana Society.
