About
The goal of the P.W.H.S.'s Herp Adoption Program is to provide homes for herps that can no longer be cared for by their current owners. Our adoption program refuses no animal under any circumstance.
We offer animals that have been removed from homes, wild animals removed from yards or property which could not be relocated, and animals that have been rehabilitated after sustaining serious injury, to new homes of qualified individuals who can properly care for the type of animal they wish to adopt.
We will not offer animals for adoption to individuals who can not meet the housing and husbandry requirements of the anmial, or to those un-knowledgeable to the care and behavioral habits of the species they wish to adopt. Housing and basic knowledge checks will be made.
If you can no longer care for an animal which you currently have, we are a "no question asked" apoption program and will refuse NO animal, as long as it fits into the category of (Reptile, Amphibian, Crocodilian, or Invertabrate).

"Herper" Of The Year 2009
Josh Stumpf
Age: 14
Location: Washington, PA
The apprentice of Pennsylvania Woodland Herpetological president John Mendrola, Josh's herpetological interests are broad. Josh is an avid field-herper, and has mastered many of Pennsylvania’s native species. During the past few months, Josh has shown great development in his handling and husbandry skills and has begun studying many herpetological fields of science. Josh is currently studying under the guidance of P.W.H.S. president John Mendrola to pursue venomous reptile husbandry in the near future. Josh has also assisted with a 2009 Woodland Herpetological Nerodia s. sipedon study. Josh is pictured here holding one of the four Black Rat Snakes he has captured field-herping this year. The Black Rat Snake is a first-time-catch for Josh this year. In addition to the Black Rat Snake, he also captured his first Pennsylvania Eastern Milk Snake this year.
