04/07/2024

We had a blast yesterday at Tampa Bay Bunfest!!!!! Thanks to everyone who stopped by the bunny grooming station, and of course to Suncoast House Rabbit Rescue for putting on an amazing event. We can't wait to go back next time 🥰 so many sweet and cute bunnies!!

04/06/2024

We're all set up for Tampa Bay Bunfest! Come and see us to be one of the first to smell the bunny inspired perfumes by d.grayi and pick up some adorable crafts from ArtisticFluff Brenda

We're super excited to head to Bunfest tomorrow!! Come see us at our booth, the grooming station, or check out the perfume sets d.grayi perfumes donated for the raffle - including a brand new one that hasn't been released yet!!

Thanks to a very kind neighbor of mine, the animals got some extra veggies today 💜 here's Sam and Fruity enjoying (and stealing) some fresh, home grown cilantro!!!

Would you believe I cleaned this enclosure just a few hours ago? 😂

Welcome Rosie into our care!

Rosie is a young female guinea pig, with a big appetite and an even louder voice when it comes to treats. She's just come out of quarantine, so she just needs a vet check before she's ready to join her next herd!

If you're interested in having Rosie join your herd, let us know!!

Sam and Fruity just keep getting sweeter and cuter 💜

01/24/2024

Look at these two ❤️ they let me get such cute photos of them this morning!

I can't believe Sam and Frodo (I kept accidentally calling him Frodo...so his name is Frodo now!) are still looking for their furever home!

These two sweeties are bonded and will need to be adopted together. They love their hay and treats, and love their noses being scratched 🥰

...and we're back!

We had a couple of technical difficulties that prevented us from posting for a while, but we're back - and with some great news!

Congratulations to Chocolate Chip (now known as Henry) on finding your furever home ❤️ we are so excited for this pairing- and it's going so well. He's absolutely spoiled and having the time of his life throwing cups around and getting loves from his new mom!

To help us have more success stories like this one, please consider donating. We always need hay, litter, vet care and enrichment for the little ones :)

Sprinkle is getting some extra snuggles for International Rabbit Day! He's such an even tempered bunny. He's still looking for his forever home ❤️ could that be with you?

09/23/2023

Welcoming this little darling to our care! This little lady was found as a stray. She'll be seeing our exotics vet, and after our stray hold will be available for adoption! Ferrets need friends, so if you have or know someone who has female ferrets, let them know this little one needs a home!!

Does your teen need community service or volunteer hours? As a federally registered nonprofit, we offer those - through our Foster for Hours program!

The way it works is:
- You and your teen foster a rescue animal(s) for us and keep a log of the care your teen provides to the animal(s).
- We sign off on the number of hours spent caring for the animal(s)
- Your teen can turn in that signed logbook or letter of recommendation to fulfill their service hours (Before applying please contact the organization or school to ensure that these hours will be applicable, as not all programs will accept service hours gained this way.)

If you're interested, head on over to www.pawphanage.org/foster and make sure to put "FOSTER FOR HOURS" in the subject line - and make sure you tell us what kind of animal you're interested in fostering. We provide all supplies and food except for daily veggies/treats.

Fostering is a great way to help us help more animals.

*Please note the adult/parent/guardian is still responsible for making sure the animal is properly cared for, and transport to/from any necessary vet visits.

Look at who's officially available for adoption!!!🎉🎉🎉

Sprinkle is a 1yo, ~5lb, neutered and vaccinated male. He is a red eye white (REW), and absolutely exudes the sweet and easy going temper that REWs are known for. He is a perfect addition to any family - especially if said family loves giving out the treatos 😉

If you're interested in knowing more about Sprinkle, head on over and fill out an application at www.pawphanage.org/adopt and meet this dashing and darling fella today!

Rabbits are family, no matter what.

I hope this little one and his family are okay and reunited after this terrible, devastating event.

02/09/2023

This adorable pair is still available for adoption! Sam and Fruity are almost a year old, so they're still young and spry (and love their hay and treats).

They're long-haired, so need semi frequent trimmings and grooming.

If you're interested in meeting these two, head to pawphanage.org/adopt to fill out an application and make sure you mention these two!

We also need help with their ongoing care. They go through hay and treats like it's going out of style! If you're willing and able, we've got lots of different ways to donate:

Chocolate Chip would like to, respectfully, remind everyone that if you're going to change your bunnies bedding...

Do it with the bunny in another room 🙄🙄

This was laid out all nicely!

Silly bunny.

Chocolate Chip is available on a foster-to-adopt basis. If you're interested, please head to pawphanage.org/adopt to fill out an application!

In the meantime, we could greatly use your help with supplies and vet bills. Prices went up considerably recently on everything, so we're struggling to get everyone fixed in a timely manner. And of course: we always need hay!

*****COURTESY POST*****

Marshmallow is currently not under our care. If interested, please contact us so we can put you in touch.

Through no fault of his own, Marshmallow needs a new home! The current owner says he is sweet, likes to be pet, and is good with nail trims. He is good with children. He has been around cats and is not scared of them (although we don't recommend letting your cats have unsupervised access to your piggies)

He's about 1 year old, so he's got a full life ahead of him!!

Marshmallow is currently in the Orlando area.

Prince Philip loves playing board games with kids! He's such a good bunny, and just loves everyone. If you've got a bunny of your own, show us them doing something cute (which, as we all know, is everything!)

We're really in need of some supplies for all of our darlings, including blankets, hay (as per usual), and some treats and enrichment toys! If you're able to spare anything, we'd greatly appreciate it!

I'm hoping this is the last follow up for this sweet little piggy! His wound has healed up so nicely and he's just the most darling little guy. Send good vibes! And maybe some hay for Christmas? 🎄 ☃️

Is there anyone available to transport a baby bunny from the Apopka/Gotha area to Palm Coast (approximately 1.5 hour drive) today or tomorrow?

Holiday reminder!

Make sure you have a plan in place now to keep your animals as calm and comfortable during fireworks on New Years Eve this year. If you need help developing a plan for your pet(s), call your regular vet *now* to figure out what's best for your animal. For my dogs, trazodone from their vet and extra snuggles has proven the most effective. For my rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, it's providing extra shelter and (safe) bedding that helps dampen the noise.

If your pet is microchipped, make sure it's still current and up to date. If your dog/cat has a collar, make sure it has the tag on it. Let's keep our animals as happy, safe, and comfortable as they can be ❤️
