A new beginning for Off the Hook

Off the Hook is moving, and they need your help.

Off the Hook Exotic pets and the people that own it are rarities. In a day of big box stores selling animals that they know very little about and care even less, a mom and pop pet store is special and this one, even more so. George & Desiree Diaz live and breathe exotic pets and dedicate their lives seven days a week to selling beautiful animals, helping their customers to care for those animals and educating the public in general about how beautiful these creatures can be.

On top of selling and educating people about these animals they have made a commitment to be a part of the solution to a larger problem by opening their doors as a no questions asked rescue for reptiles, amphibians, fish and birds. Taking in abandoned, ill and neglected animals and ones whose owners can simply no longer care for them.

For the last five years they have occupied a small shop in Coraopolis Pa, but they have outgrown the location and have decided to chase their dreams into a bigger, better location with the potential to become not just a pet store, but a destination. Their fondest wish is to build a legacy that their children can take over and carry into the future and to make that happen, they need to move. And for that, they need your help.

Initial lease and moving costs are huge as anyone who has ever moved a business knows and can be even more expensive when animals are involved and this family who has poured their hearts into animals for most of their lives need your help. The money will go toward their lease down payment and some of their moving costs.

I believe in them and if you have met them, talked to them, spent time with them, then I imagine you do too! Let's be a part of something rare and beautiful. The growth of a family owned and operated pet store.

Please give what you can, this means a lot to me and to the hobby we love.
