We were called for another rescue today. We are currently housing TEN guinea pigs. Yes, ten. We have been doing this over a year and quickly realized we were going to be a sanctuary. I am BEGGING you! Please, if you get a pet, realize they are a commitment. The holidays are right around the corner. I know the puppy is cute, your children are begging for a bunny, the guinea pigs are "starter pets." The puppy will grow up, the bunny needs to roam, the guinea pig is NOT a starter pet. Actually, there is no starter pet. When you get these pets, realize they are your pets. Your children will likely get bored or realize it's a lot to handle and they'd rather be with their friends, watching TV, are playing on their phones. You're putting a living creatures life in your hands. They can't provide their own food, water, or clean up after themselves. There WILL be accidents.

Yes, we are aware there are extreme circumstances. We acknowledge and applaud those who reach out instead of letting harm come to these babies, but we are hurting for each one too. Please remember, we do this out of our pockets and with all the love in our hearts. All vet care, food, and products needed come from our pockets. We assume all liability for animals when they enter out care. We have poured a countless amount of our time, blood (we've had some fiesty ones), sweat, and tears into this. If you ever feel you have extra time, or your kids want some animal cuddles, our door is open. We welcome anyone who wants to spend time socializing the animals, cleaning, or grooming them.

Sincerely,
The Fuzz N’ Scales Team

We are looking for an immediate home/foster for these babies. They were dumped in the state park and picked up by some awesome people with hearts of gold. Unfortunately, they are unable to keep them. I am working on helping them find a home as we have 3 coming in Friday and our quarantine area will be full for a few weeks.

Please contact the page if you are interested. There is obviously no fee, just unconditional love. If you are interested, please reach out to us and we will get you in contact.

We haven't updated in awhile, so I thought I would share a few things.

● A little over 2 weeks ago, we made the hard decision to help Warren cross the rainbow bridge. This was a hard decision, and we are heart broken and devestated. Warren and Winslow are the reasons Fuzz N' Scales was started and they hold such a special place in our hearts. Winslow is doing okay, but he really is missing his best friend. This has by far been the hardest part of the rescue. Warren and Winslow came into our family over 7 years ago and we have estimated their age is around 10-12 now. Unfortunately, Warren developed tumors that made him extremely Ill and he would not have made it through surgery. You may be wondering who is Warren, so I will attach photos to this post. Warren was our panda, and will forever be missed.

● Through no fault of their own, George and Fudge have been separated. They will need to remain a single pig, but would do great in a room where they could hear other piggies. George and Fudge are both very dominant and want to be the top dog. As a reminder, they are both males. The only fee for them is unconditional love. Check out our posts of Halloween photos for piggies available for adoption.

●We will be moving! Early next month we will be moving to Louisiana, Mo. We are buying a home that will allow us to have a separate room for the rescue animals. This will allow us to let people come visit the rescues and spend time with them to form bonds with the animals before adoption. This will be great for those wanting to see the care and what the animals are accustomed too! We will keep you all updated on the status and will let you know when we are allowing rescue visits!

Much love to all of you and thank you for your support in this crazy journey!

The holidays are upon us and I know it's the perfect time to surprise your kids or spouse with the cute new pet they've been absolutely begging for! Stop and think if this pet is cute in the moment, or if this pet is a genuine lifetime commitment. During the holiday season, 3 pets are abandoned every hour.

George and Fudge are bonded males looking for their forever home. They have been with the rescue for several months now. Fudge is crested and always has a cute little angry face. George is an abyssinnian and has the most luscious locks at all times. If you would like to add George and Fudge to your family, send us a message. The only requirements are unconditional love, pics of an appropriate cage, and they come back to the rescue if you can't keep them.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 are bonded females looking for their forever home. They came to us with a case of bumble foot, but are now cleared for their new home. They are 3 months old and love cuddles, veggies, and their hay. If you are interested in adopting these two females, click on the send message button below. The only requirements are unconditional love, pics of an appropriate cage set up, and they come back to the rescue if something comes up and you can't keep them.

A day in the life of Fuzz N' Scales- Guinea Pig Edition

09/10/2022

Soon we will have 2 female guinea pigs ready for their forever home. They came to us with a case of bumble foot and are being treated. They are a bonded pair and will have to go together.

George and Fudge are still looking for their furever home. Requirements for adoption are as follow:
*Pictures of an appropriate cage and area
*Must go to a home together. They are bonded males
*Must come back to us if decided you can not keep them.

**You may buy their cage from me for an additional fee.

Fudge is an American crested. He is mostly social and doesn't mind being picked up and petted.

George is an abyssinnian. He is very shy and timid and needs some work on handling, but he is starting to come around.

They will come with a guinea pig care and feeding guide that was created by me. If you are interested in adopting these two, send a message to the page. ❤

We've had a couple people ask, so I wanted to share. We do have an Amazon wishlist for the animals that we currently have. There are various things on there. I'll post a link to the list in the comments, but please do not feel obligated to buy anything.

George and Fudge are officially ready to be adopted. Requirements for adoption are as follow:

The sound that means food is coming. This is the wiggie chorus we hear every night. 2 bonded boys will be ready for their forever home in a little over a week. ❤❤

05/15/2022

Meet George and Fudge. These two bonded males will be available for adoption after their quarantine period. Since they are bonded, they will need to stay together. George is an abyssinnian and Fudge is a crested. If you are interested in adopting George and Fudge, send us a message.

Happy Friday!! I wanted to update everyone. Since we officially began this adventure, we have taken in 7 friends. I will be posting information this weekend to explain the adoption process. Thank you all for your support! ❤

As we are getting ready to take in our first fuzzy friends, we decided to share a few things that would help. When messaging us age, gender, and if you are sending their food, toys, treats, etc. Would be super helpful. When we get ready for intake, we make sure that we are able to meet all needs each animal will have. This often means running to the store to get things that we don't have immediately on hand. Species specific food, treats, medical supplies, etc.

If you or anyone you know has any cages/aquariums you may not want laying around, let us know.

I am a small animal rescue individual specializing in different pets. I’ve waited to long to start a page let alone a business. Everything I do I do for the sake of the small rodents and reptiles and open to helping really any animal in need of a temporary fostering or adoption. Ones that have been left without a family or permanent home. Whatever the reason or issue is send a message and we will get back to you asap! Just give us all the details about the baby in need. Much love and light ❤️
