Hi, I’m Godzuki, a common green iguana (Iguana iguana) from Central America.
Know why I’m smiling?
Because I made it! When I was about three months old, I was picked up off the streets of West Hollywood by two kind gentlemen. They kept me warm and safe until they could leave me with RARN. Boy, was I sick! A lady treated me in her home for malnutrition, severe dehydration, and a bad case of intestinal parasites.
For the past 21 years I’ve had fresh fruits and vegetables to eat, some direct sunlight, a daily warm shower or two, and plenty of high places to climb to, which I love. But the missing spines on my back show I didn’t get the kind of care and food I needed when I was very young.
I would never have survived those mean streets of Hollywood without RARN. Literally.
See why I can’t stop smiling?
