My partner and I adopted Inky and Pinky to provide companionship for our glider, Oppa, who was being bullied and was at risk of depression. After a vet visit, Inky's dental issues and yeast infection were diagnosed, likely caused by a poor diet. Thankfully, his condition has improved since switching to the OHPW diet. However, he still requires dental surgery to address his infected lower incisors.

The organization serves the community by:

• Taking in surrendered, neglected, and emergency cases from across the country

• Providing medical care including neuters, dental procedures, diagnostics, and emergency treatment

• Collecting and tracking detailed medical and behavioral data to better understand patterns in sugar glider health

• Collaborating with veterinary professionals and laboratories to contribute to ongoing research efforts

• Planning and conducting structured studies aimed at improving long term outcomes for captive sugar gliders

• Offering mentorship and education to both new and experienced owners

• Guiding families through proper diet, cage safety, bonding, and long term care

• Assisting breeders and owners in crisis to prevent neglect and improper rehoming

• Ensuring every adopter is thoroughly vetted and mentored when necessary

Sugar Haven Rescue does not simply rehome animals. The organization advocates, educates, collects meaningful data, and works toward long term improvements in standards of care. Every intake is medically evaluated. Every adopter is screened. Mentorship is provided whenever needed. Every glider matters.

Community support allows Sugar Haven Rescue to continue funding veterinary care, coordinating multi state transport, responding to urgent cases, and advancing research that benefits sugar gliders nationwide.
