Midwest Tongs was created by Dana Savorelli, a 40-year veteran in the field of research and development of animal handling equipment. Through his vast experience, Dana has developed a wide variety of animal handling tools including: snake hooks, snake tongs, animal grabbers, nets, bagging systems, restraining tubes, snare poles and security caps, all with the singular focus of protecting the handler while being safe and humane for the animal. Headquartered in the heartland, Midwest Tongs is proud to be an American-owned company that employs craftsmen with a vast wealth of experience not only in tool manufacturing but are also animal handlers themselves.
Midwest Tong’s reputation has carried it to all corners of the earth. Equipment manufactured by Midwest Tongs is consistently chosen by TV personalities on Animal Planet, National Geographic, Scaly Adventures and Discovery Channel television shows. Midwest Tong’s tools can be found literally around the world in zoos, aquariums, herpetariums, universities and in the hands of animal control professionals dealing with almost any type of animal.
Giving Back
Dana Savorelli has dedicated his life to the safe and humane handling of animals and it is the core operating principle of his company, Midwest Tongs. One of the biggest ways that Dana fulfills this calling is in the founding and operation of Monkey Island Rescue and Sanctuary, a non-profit animal sanctuary and retirement home for over 250 animals. Not exclusive to primates, Monkey Island Rescue and Sanctuary offers food, shelter and acquires veterinary care for unwanted and abandoned exotic animals of all types. These animals require special accommodations and handling skills that most animal control agencies do not possess, and thus many of these animals are euthanized. By providing Monkey Island Rescue and Sanctuary, Dana has saved the lives of countless animals. He is a sought-after expert in the rescue, rehabilitation and housing of distressed exotic animals.
