Together, Ed and Brenda formed Animal Adventures with the mission to provide a home to unwanted and unable to be cared for animals, while educating the public about these animals. Brenda owned a pet store in Malden, MA for many years with her sister Robin. Ed has even been listed as one of the world’s top 20 herpetologists. Ed has worked with exotics since his youth, and over the years gained his PhD in Zoology.
