Welcome to the last day of Luna's House Virtual Giving Tree!

Today we feature Derek & Hansel. These boys are really, really ridiculously good looking! These handsome gents are on the lookout for a forever home that can keep up with their high-energy lifestyle and curious nature.

Often striking dramatic poses while scoping out their surroundings, these two boys are always up for exploring. Together, they’re the ultimate duo of fluff, fun, and goofy charm.

We estimate that Derek and Hansel are about 2 years old as of November 2024. This bonded duo would love a family familiar with chinchillas or eager to learn about their unique quirks. A home with plenty of space for them to zoom, jump, and show off their runway moves would be perfect.

If you’re ready for nonstop entertainment and a double dose of model behavior, Derek and Hansel are ready to turn your home into their runway.

Like most prey animals, chinchillas are very active and, while they may tolerate being handled when necessary for short periods of time, they do not care to be picked up, carried, or held for extended amounts of time. If you are looking for an active, delightful small animal with a longer life span (12-15 years average
in captivity, up to 20 years) to enjoy and with whom to interact on his/her terms, a chinchilla may be a great choice for you!

Welcome back to day 4 of Luna's House Virtual Giving Tree!

Today's story is Liam & Anson. Unfortunately we don’t know a lot about these fellows’ past, but we do know they have a bright future. They are delightful brothers who defy all odds by living peacefully—most male guineas (even if neutered) find it difficult to coexist in pairs, but our boys are going strong!

Liam, the agouti gent, is the more outgoing of the piggies. Anson, the darker tricolor pig, is happy to follow Liam’s lead. We estimate that the boys are three years of age. They are living the good life in their foster home, but would be SO happy to have a forever home for the holidays this year. 😊

The boys have always been together and will need to be adopted together, as the awesome team they are.

Welcome to day 3 of Luna's House Virtual Giving Tree!

Today we are featuring Sebastien & François. We first met Sebastien & François in November 2020. This handsome duo of neutered male rabbits were surrendered to us when their original guardians decided they could no longer care for them.

In December 2020, these undoubtedly adorable gents were adopted by a couple who contacted us in June of this year to let us know they needed to return the boys.

We are so sad for the boys, but we know that the third time will be a charm for them. We don’t understand how anyone could give up these incredibly sweet buns, but it is 100% their loss…Sebastien & François are amazing!

Sebastien is an English Spot x Mini Lop mix, with helicopter ears--one sticks up, one flops down--and François is a Dutch mix who looks as though he's sporting a fashionably-crooked beret :)

Both boys are rather sweet, though they are skittish with too much noise or activity, so we do not feel they would be a good fit for a home with smaller children.

Welcome back to day 2 of Luna's House Virtual Giving Tree!

Today we are featuring Annie. Annie is a beautiful Tortoiseshell girl who would love to have a home of her own. She likes respectful pets when she wants them and appreciates folks who understand when she doesn't.

Annie can have the "Torti-tude" often associated with tortis - she can be sassy and is finicky about being handled, so she needs a home with folks who are willing to follow her lead when it comes to socialization. With this in mind, we are not comfortable placing Annie in a home with smaller children, for the safety of both Annie and the human kiddos.

Annie is around 15 years old and takes a twice-daily medication for hyperthyroidism as well as an immunity support powder. Administering medication to Annie is challenging, even for those of us here who have been medicating cats for decades. Because of this, we are seeking not only a cat-savvy home for Annie, but one with a guardian who is very experienced with administering oral medications to cats...we know it's a tall order, but we still believe there is hope that Annie will find her perfect people!

Annie would need a home that is open to allowing her to be exactly who she is and is fine with her approaching life at her own pace.

Wish List: Advantage or Revolution flea treatment, new scratching post, new cat bed, new cat toys

Welcome to our last week of our Virtual Giving Tree! Thank you for your consideration in donating to our very deserving featured rescues!

Today starts Luna's House week of Virtual Giving Tree.

Today's story is about Sally. Sally is an absolutely gorgeous Bull Terrier mix girl who, at just under two years of age, can't wait to have a family of her very own! This lucky gal has a fabulous, dedicated foster family with whom she is spending her time until that family comes along--and she is doing very well in a home setting.

Sally is intelligent, fully crate trained, and is a graduate of Mason Dixon K-9’s dog training program. She would love a home with a fenced-in backyard—but she is an acrobat, so she would need a tall privacy fence to keep her safe.
Sally delights in the daily walks she takes with her foster dad, does great in the car, and adores being outside, so she would be a fun girl to take on adventures. An active family that wants a furry friend to go with them for hikes or other outdoor activities would be great for her!
Sally likes other dogs a lot but would probably chase cats.
Sally's previous "guardians" walked into our facility in November 2023 with Sally in tow. The couple asked to surrender Sally immediately, but the employee working the front desk explained that we were not able to accept her at that time. We had just accepted a puppy into our Dog Adoption Program who was showing signs of upper respiratory infection. The puppy was residing in our canine Quarantine room, so we did not want to place another dog into that area.

After receiving information about our local open-admission shelter, the couple walked out to our parking lot with Sally. They retrieved a large black trash bag from their vehicle, placed it on the ground, and proceeded to put Sally's feet and back end inside the bag. As our employee and a long-time volunteer watched in horror, the couple brought the bag up over Sally's head and began to cinch it closed. Our volunteer ran out to the parking lot as they were starting to tie the bag closed, begging them to stop. She told the couple that we would take Sally into our care, with no surrender donation required, if they would just sign a surrender form giving us custody of her.

We do not know what Sally's previous "guardians" intended to do with her once they had her tied up inside the trash bag, but we can only surmise that their intentions were not good.

Sally is now happy, healthy, trained, and socialized—but she is very strong and energetic, so we believe a home with older, gentle human kids would be best for her.

Wish List: Pill Pockets, Doggy Puzzles, Kongs, new dog bed

Welcome back to day 5 of Oxford Ferret Rescue Virtual Giving Tree!

Today's story is about two special ferrets that came in together! Shelly is a petite sable girl who was surrendered because her owner couldn’t afford bladder stone surgery. It was a HUGE stone and she did just great! She can always be found in the upper level of her cat condo.
Ellie is an adorable chocolate girl that came in with Shelly. She also needed a surgery to remove bladder stones. She also did well, and recovered from her surgery. She and Shelly have fit in just fine with a few of my other older ferrets!

Welcome back to day 4 of Oxford Ferret Rescue Virtual Giving Tree!

Today's story is Georgie! Georgie is a super sweet, big albino boy. He’s a senior now. He had his large spleen removed earlier this year and is doing well. He has 4 friends in his business and loves safe toys to hide from them!! He’s on medications for low blood glucose due to insulinoma, a common ailment in older ferrets.

Welcome back to day 3 of Oxford Ferret Rescue Virtual Giving Tree!

Today we feature Jeckyll and Opal. Jekyll is mostly white now, but as a youngster had a lot of silver. He came into rescue with Opal when their owner was going through a bad time. He is a senior citizen on both prednisolone and diazoxide for low blood glucose due to insulinoma, a common ailment in older ferrets. He likes safe toys that he can stuff in the toy box.
Opal was a panda in her younger days and is now primarily white. She came in with Jekyll when their owner was going through a bad time. She is also a senior citizen on prednisolone and diazoxide due to low blood glucose due to insulinoma. She’s pretty spunky for an old girl and loves to sleep in cat condos (which we need more of.)

Welcome back to day 2 of Oxford Ferret Rescue Virtual Giving Tree!

Today we are featuring Petey! When he had all of his hair, he was a stunning champagne boy. He was a stray and I now think he's older than originally thought. He is a single guy that is now on prednisolone and diazoxide twice daily for low blood glucose due to insulinoma, a common ailment in older ferrets.

Petey would greatly appreciate direct donations to go towards his pharmacy bill so he continue on his medications.

Welcome back to the Virtual Giving Tree - Week 2!

This week we feature Oxford Ferret Rescue! The rescue is run by Claudia Johnson, who is a beloved friend of the Happier at Home staff.

"I've been the director of Oxford ferret rescue since February 1999 and have had ferrets since 1998. We are located in Fawn Grove, PA and are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization serving the tri-state area of PA, DE and MD. We provide rescue services and education to those in need. I’ve worked at a local animal hospital for over 20 years. I’ve been very fortunate to work with great vets-including Dr Haskin ( an incredible doctor and surgeon). Currently, I have 14 of the shelter ferrets on medicine. Most of the ferrets in the rescue are senior citizens requiring lots of care and TLC."

Today we are featuring Fiametta (Fi). A beautiful petite sable girl, Fi came in with screaming seizures, possible trauma, fluid in her chest and painful ulcers in both eyes. She was on IV fluids and meds when she initially came in. She had a bad setback over a month ago but we take it day by day. She’s very “special”. We go through a lot of small round beds -she’s messy❤️

Welcome to day 5, and the last day of The Hero Rescue Virtual Giving Tree!

If you can find it in your heart to donate, every little bit helps!

Today we feature the amazing Penny!

Penny came to our foster home from Baltimore County Animal Shelter as a stray in late June. My she was quite a medical mess! She was skin and bones. The shelter vet said she was a 2 out of 9 on the Purina scale and needs to be at least a 4! She also had some hair loss and sores on her legs because of lack of nutrition. And Man did she STINK! She was so skinny she was at risk of going under for her spay. So, we had to work on getting her fattened up. With lots of good kibble and treats as well as a couple of medicated baths and coconut milk soap her hair slowly grew back. And within 3 weeks she plumped up by 14 pounds! During the time she also gained a lot of confidence and started to play more with her fur foster siblings. Actually when I think about it, she was a real SPITFIRE!!! LOL. She was then ready to be spayed. We also had to have her treated for Lyme once she got through the surgery. After her rest period we were able to get her out mingling at one of Hero’s many rescue events! Well, a family quickly fell in love with her at one and put an application in for her right then and there! She has been with her furever family now for almost 4 months and is doing spectacular!

The first few photos are Penny’s before her transformation. You can see how skinny she was (and the Purina description for #2) and the hair loss on her ear and legs. Then you can see her “after” photos. A nice shiny black coat and happy face!"

Congratulations on your forever home, sweet Penny girl!

Welcome back to day 4 of The Hero Rescue Virtual Giving Tree!

Today we feature a special type of fosters that are very near and dear to one of the foster's, Mary, hearts....BOTTLE BABIES!

"I’ve fostered for about 10 years, my favorite foster is my next foster. I love, love, love the bottle babies. Feeding every 2 or so hours, making sure they eliminate, checking weights and then you blink, and they are eating on their own but need to learn how to be puppies because mom isn’t here. The baby steps as they become more independent are huge and watching is awe-inspiring. The reasons that they are without a mama is the part I try not to dwell on. That part is sad and ugly, my mission is to keep these babies healthy. Ideally they thrive, go to loving homes, and live happily."

As with all puppies, the most needed items are p*e pads, Purine One Puppy food (dry and canned), and toys!

Welcome back to day 3 of The Hero Rescue Virtual Giving Tree!

Today we are featuring sweet Theodore.

"When we picked up Theodore from the local shelter, we knew that a leg amputation was possible. He was found in someone’s backyard in pain and unable to walk on his leg. However, we wanted to give him a chance before amputating. When we picked him up, we were surprised to see his jaw had also suffered an injury, giving him a very unique smile. After x-rays, we saw that he had an old fractured leg. Luckily, his jaw seems to be okay and will likely stay that way without causing him anymore pain. It’s been six weeks of back and forth appointments to the vet for frequent bandage changes and new x-rays, but he is finally without a cast and growing muscle mass. His walk may never be 100%, but it’s so much better than how he started with us! Throughout all this pain, Theodore has had the absolute best personality and is filled with typical kitten antics and love."

Welcome to day 2 of The Hero Rescue Virtual Giving Tree!

Today we feature Ms. Grace and allllllllllll of her adorable babies. Ms. Grace found herself pregnant and alone in a dump in North Carolina. With help from rescue partners, Grace was seen by a vet and put on transport to bring her up to The Hero Rescue where she could have her babies in a clean, quiet and safe foster home. Grace was with her foster for 4 days when she decided it was time. She had a long and exhausting labor and ended up needing urgent vet care when her last puppy was stuck. Grace delivered 9 puppies and 2 were unfortunately stillborn. Grace is feeling much better, and is able to raise her 7 babies with help from her foster family. Puppies are a lot of work and require a lot of supplies. The most needed items for Grace and her little family are puppy pads, Purina One Puppy Food (dry and canned) and toys.

Welcome to our first week of our Virtual Giving Tree!

This week we are featuring The Hero Rescue! The Hero Rescue started in 2019 as a group of 7 people who had a vision for what rescue should be.

The Hero Rescue is now formed by a network of volunteers and fosters committed to saving lives of animals at risk of euthanasia, abuse, and neglect. By relocating animals from over crowded shelters to Maryland for adequate veterinary care, castration, emotional rehabilitation and eventually adoption, they make a difference in the lives of animals as well as in the local communities they serve .

In 2023 The Hero Rescue saved 529 animals. As of 11/11/2024, they have saved 546 animals in 2024 and that number is still growing.

The Hero Rescue's most needed items are: p*e pads, Purina One Puppy food (both dry and canned), kitty litter, canned kitten food, paper towels, clorox wipes, and toys!

Today's story features Sadie! Sadie was laying in a local shelter in poor condition. She was suffering from a serious infection of her uterus called Pyometra. The shelter staff did what they could for her, but she needed emergent care. The Hero Rescue pulled her out as soon as they could and met up with Happier at Home on a Friday afternoon. Sadie received the care she needed, emergency surgery to save her life, and was placed in the loving care of her dedicated foster. Sadie will now be living her best life ever as her foster could not let her go and made her a permanent member of her family.

Now lovingly renamed Bailey Jo, the Happier at Home team is ecstatic to be able to continue to see Bailey as a regular patient and watch her continue to thrive under the watchful eye on her new family.
