Are you looking to add a spunky girl, full of personality who knows her own mind to your family? Meet Princess Ruby! This 3 year old will steal your heart as she enjoys life to the fullest! Ruby loves space to romp and would ideally love an outdoor enclosure where she can “bink” to her heart’s delight and nibble on the grass on fair weather days. Ruby had a tough start in life and can be possessive of her food. She would do best in a home with no young children. Her prospective new family should understand that hand feeding Ruby is not recommended. Ruby is full of the “joie de vivre” and quickly endears herself to everyone who meets her. She has come a long way during her time with us and now deserves a home of her own where she will be loved for the special girl she is. ❤️
Ms. Ruby is still patiently waiting to find her people and forever home!
Come on down to the Parksville Branch & meet this adorable , spunky , cute and full of zest for life little girl .
We are open Tuesday - Saturday 12-4 .
Closed March 29.
Dutchess is a sweet girl who is feeling better after her dental and waiting for her forever home. She loves to be brushed, lounging in the sun, and walking in her harness.

Hi y’all, I am an Uber friendly, full of vim and vigour kind of doe. Yes, that is what is female bunnies are called.
I am coming up to a year old in June.
My hobbies include hopping, running and bunking. In rabbit language (and the dictionary) Binking-(of a rabbit) to make a playful twisting leap, usually with a 180-turn in mid air.
For this reason, a larger pen is best for me. I am litter trained, although with a bigger rear end (blushing) I would require an XL litter box.
If you have space and love in your home for a bouncy bunny, I am your gal (doe)
Sincerely,
Jelly Bean.
RUBY ❤️
Meet Ms. Ruby!
Ruby has not had the best start ...
She came into our care very underweight. We believe in her previous living environment she struggled getting her food. Although Ruby since being in care gets fed regularly she has shown to have resource guarding with her food and treats.
She is showing great improvement and continuing to work on this.
What we can tell you about this zestful girl is she loves to stretch her legs out kick back and enjoy the Zen.
Although Ruby has never experienced a loving , unconditional , and caring home... she is on a mission to fill your home with boundless delight and heart warming moments.
Her cute twitching nose and soft fur are a testament to their irresistible charm.
Ruby has the cutest little bursts of energy where she loves to zoom around in excitement and explore every inch and corner of her surroundings.
You can meet this charming girl @ the Parksville Branch Tuesday - Saturday 12-4
