I AM A TRANSPORTER, NOT A RESCUE and cannot take your rabbit or other small animal.

However, here is a list of rescues and shelters I have transported for that may be able to help you.

South Jersey
Elephant Shoes Animal Rescue
Tribbles Rabbit Rescue
Atlantic Critters Rescue

Central New Jersey
Kind Heart Rescue

North Jersey
Willys Wabbits
Helping All Little Things (formerly Helping All Little Pipsqueaks)

Eastern PA and Delaware
House Rabbit Society Southeastern PA-Delaware Chapter
Bunny Brigade Inc.

I have also worked with the following shelters that will often intake small animals. They try to coordinate with a rescue as most are not really equipped to handle much more than dogs and cats.

Voorhees Animal Orphanage
Animal Welfare Association
Jersey City Animal Care & Control
Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge
Animal Care Centers of NYC (ACC)
ACCT Philly

THERE ARE MANY OTHERS, BUT I'VE ONLY LISTED RESCUES AND SHELTERS THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY WORKED WITH.

CONSIDER DONATING!!!

Another weekend of rescues, and another trip to North Jersey.

First, on Saturday, I picked up 4 feral cats who were at a local clinic for the "N" in TNR, and brought them back to the farm where they will likely live out their years (although it seems that one of them *may* be able to be socialized). That turned into a late night because the clinic was extremely busy and discharge ended up a little after 11pm, and a 40 minute drive to the Elephant Shoes farm (and another 40 minutes back home).

Then, on Sunday, it was a surrender of 4 rabbits from a home north of Raritan. I'm not certain of the backstory, but I question what we were told. Anyway, all 4 beauties are now with Tribbles.

After that, I stopped back at the Elephant Shoes farm for a few minutes. I was talking to Kaylee and I felt someone tap my right shoulder. I turn around, and it's this large horse wanting some nose scratches. Kyla offered to teach me some horse grooming, since their horses seem comfortable with me.

Yeah, that made my day.

I am heartbroken. Little Baby (renamed Holly), the special needs girl I transported to Tribbles Rabbit Rescue from Queens NY on Sunday, was on schedule to be transported to a sanctuary rescue in Connecticut on Saturday.

The Bunderground Railroad asked for volunteers to drive and immediately I let them know that I wanted to drive her, at least part way.

I just got word that this special little girl passed away a little while ago. She'd been eating well, but earlier today, she began struggling and went downhill very quickly.

She was 3 months and 1 week old. She was very sweet and soft and was loved.

Binky free little one.

😭😭😭

This is Baby, a 3 month old bunny with splayed legs, aka Swimmer Syndrome. She was scheduled for euthanasia after 6pm today.

I just picked her up at Animal Cate Centers of. NYC in Queens for Tribbles Rabbit Rescue .

She's munching on hay and lettuce and moving around in the carrier.

So, Friday i picked up a dumped bunny who was given shelter by a Good Samaritan and took him to Tribbles Rabbit Rescue.

Saturday, I picked up a bunny in Barnegat from a foster who could no longer care for her. Then it was northbound to north of Freehold to.pick up an owner surrender. They got the bunny during the pandemic. Now, their son has "outgrown the bunny".

Yeah, some people suck.

Early in the pandemic, TV bobble heads were telling people to "adopt a pet" to combat the isolation.

Now we get the calls to surrender them.
And we have to arrange transportation, vet care, housing, food, and try to get them adopted.

Thank God not ALL people suck.

So, i spent MANY hours on the road yesterday...from my home in Mount Laurel to Barnegat to west of Tinton Falls to Malaga, and then back home.

After I delivered these innocent creatures, to Tribbles Rabbit Rescue , I stopped by the farm recently occupied by Elephant Shoes Animal Rescue and visited some of their sanctuary horses, who all came over to me for head and nose scratches. THAT made my day.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.

So, I picked up this friendly bun today. Set loose by someone, a Good Samaritan gave him (her?) shelter until I could pick him up and get him to Tribbles Rabbit Rescue.

I ran into some "wintry mix" on the way up and back.

Tomorrow (Saturday), I'm picking buns in Barnegat Twp NJ and Manalapan NJ to go to our intake person in Malaga.

Gonna be a lonnnng day.

That will make 92 bunny transports this year (+32 other small animals). :-(

It has been a while since I've posted about rescue transports. November has been busy.

Picked up two cats (fosters) in Philadelphia for vet services in NJ (dental care) and returned them to the foster, for Elephant Shoes Animal Rescue.

Picked up 5 rabbits from the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Rescue to transfer to a Tribbles Rabbit Rescue intake foster near Malaga NJ. These rabbits were surrendered as part of a benign neglect hoarding situation.

Picked up a rabbit from the Jersey City Animal Shelter for transfer to Tribbles. I've been picking up rabbits (and hamsters) from JCAS every few weeks. It's actually a nice ride up the Turnpike.

Picked up a rabbit from a foster in Pennington NJ for vet care and then returned him to them, for Elephant Shoes (this family fosters for several rescues).

Thanksgiving Eve, my wife came across a post on a Moorestown NJ Facebook group about a dead guinea pig in the grass alongside the walking path. They also stated that there was a live one, perhaps a baby, hiding under a nearby trash can. People were writing about "call animal control" (they won't do anything), so I jumped in the car and went over. I located and recovered the deceased piggie. The live one was not anywhere around. My wife called to tell me that someone had picked that one up, apparently prior to my arrival. I brought the deceased one home and gave it a proper burial today, in the rain, wrapped in a soft guinea pig blanket. All of God's creatures deserve respect and dignity, not to be left in a field to be picked apart by carrion-feeders. These piggies had to have been turned loose (or dumped) in the park by some low-life scumbucket with no regard.

Today (Thanksgiving) is a day with family.

Tomorrow, it's off to Jersey City Animal Shelter to pick up an abandoned bunny for Tribbles.

Then we'll see what December has in store...
