REACH Out 

This page is dedicated to the founder of TRSAR, Kim Ellis

​

 Kim, having retired from TRSAR, started a rescue like no other over 30 years ago. Having appeared on television segments such as Animal Cops Houston and NatGeo Wild, it's without question that her kind spirit, nurturing attitude, and strong will to save all things scaley to feathery, makes her an incredibly special woman, indeed. I, appointed director, have the flattering privilege of calling her a dear friend. Our mission is simply this: If we as rescurers for the often feared and mistreated can embrace the same charismatic philosophy as Kim's, we will have made an influential difference, a dramatic impact, and paved the way for the misunderstood animals we rescue to have a fighting chance at a fulfilled life. Just as Kim Ellis has done. Xoxo, Nikki

Our Mission

Although not a positive, anticipated event, the southeast regions of Texas are experiencing disastrous weather conditions due to Hurricane Harvey. As we do our best to hold down the fort, please keep us in your thoughts as we are right in the middle of Harvey's path of destruction. 

Donations aid us in everything we do for these animals. Your generosity literally helps save lives. Please consider donating to our cause today. All donations are tax deductible. From our rescue animals to you, thank you for your continued support.

Hope in Action

TRSAR is a female directed 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue that services the state of Texas. We are one of the few 501(c)3 rescues in the Houston area and the first dedicated to reptiles. Directed by Nikki Pesek, we have worked with reptiles and exotics for over 30 years. TRSAR intakes unwanted pets and rescues. We rehabilitate, provide a wellness check, temperament test, socialize, and then adopt out our animals to qualified forever homes. We are committed to captive animal husbandry and are proud to diligently partner with local shelters to ensure seized animals are given a second chance.
