Our New Foundation

Ben and I came up with this foundation for fun:

Our home is infested with many species of spiders. We would like to start a foundation that will help protect these creatures from becoming squished and eventually terminated by harmful chemicals. Your sponsorship donation of $25 or more helps care for one of the spiders at Arachnid Sanctuary. When you sponsor a spider, we'll email you his or her bio along with a full-size, high resolution photo that you can print. It's a great way to make a friend -- and make a difference! The $25 will cover bugs for food and a cage for the spider to live in if injured or released into neighbor’s yard. It will also receive the love and affection it needs. Your kind donation will give this eight legged friend another chance at life. Just choose a spider you would like to save.

Featured Spider of the Month

Our sweet Danny is a very sad case. He was found in our back yard by our 2 year old son. When our son brought him to us, Danny was unfortunately missing a couple of legs. This friend is in desperate need of help. Please help this 3 legged friend to stay hopeful and to stay ALIVE. The difference between life and death is in your hands! For more information email us at
