Hello 2026! Let’s (Re)Introduce Ourselves 🍾🎉

As we step into a brand new year, we wanted to pause and properly reintroduce ourselves for those who are new here — and say thank you to those who have been walking alongside us.

Little Lives Small Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the Tri-Cities, WA area since 2016! We are dedicated to helping small animals (like rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles and more) who often get overlooked. Our mission is simple but meaningful: to rescue, rehabilitate, and find loving homes for the little ones in need while also educating our community on proper care and compassionate ownership.

We operate under a case-by-case basis, focusing our efforts where we can provide the safest, most responsible care. While we love all animals, we do not take in cats or dogs, and we are not licensed to assist with wildlife. This allows us to stay within our scope and ensure the animals we do help receive the care they deserve.

We are a 100% foster-based rescue, which means we do not have a shelter building or central location. Every animal in our care is living in a volunteer foster home, receiving individualized attention, medical care, and love while they wait for their forever families.

Did you know Little Lives is entirely volunteer-run? Nobody takes home a pay check and our animals get the care they need thanks to donations from our community and supporters.

Every intake, adoption, late-night message, vet trip, and enclosure cleaning happens outside of full-time jobs, families, and everyday life. We do this because we believe little lives matter — even when it’s hard, exhausting, or unseen.

As we head into 2026, we’re excited for what’s ahead: more rescues, more education, more happy endings, and more chances to make a difference together.

Thank you for being here, supporting our mission, and caring about the little ones. 🐭🐰🐹 Here’s to another great year!

🐰 UPDATE: FOSTER FOUND 🐰

🆘 RABBIT FOSTER NEEDED 🆘

We have a senior bunny needing to return to the rescue immediately. His owner's health has declined to the point where the bunny is no longer being cared for properly.

He was adopted back in 2018 and now, at ~10 years old, needs a safe place to land.

We are looking for a long-term foster/sanctuary placement given the rabbit's age.

Do we have anyone open for a senior bunny? 💔 Indoor housing would be required. All necessary supplies and approved vet care would be covered by the rescue. Example setup (provided by us) in the comments.

Olive is still waiting for her forever home! She's basically a torti 🐱… in bunny form.

She’s got that classic tortitude: very hands-off, strong opinions, and absolutely needs to know what’s happening at all times. Olive doesn’t require constant touching or cuddling, but she does require being included. Watching? Yes. Supervising? Definitely.

She’s the perfect companion for someone who loves an independent pet with personality—happy to share space, vibes, and judgmental side-eyes, without needing affection 24/7.

If you appreciate a little sass, a lot of charm, and a bunny who knows her boundaries, Olive is ready to rule your home! Apply here! https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2534462&name=Olive

A Friendly (But Important) PSA 🐾

We get it — sometimes rescues may not have exactly what you’re looking for (especially those of us with smaller operations). But before buying from a pet store, please be sure to ask the staff to visually confirm the s*x of the animal you intend to purchase (when applicable). ESPECIALLY if you're buying a pair.

We hear horror story after horror story of families being told they’re purchasing two animals of the same s*x… only to be surprised with babies shortly after bringing them home. If the animals aren’t separated quickly, the cycle can repeat – instantly in some cases.

If the pet store can’t confidently confirm the s*x, please reconsider your purchase. Accidental male/female pairings are far more common than people realize, and they often lead to overcrowding, stress (for everyone), and animals needing rescue.

📸 This is an old photo. We don't currently have any babies for adoption. Our most recent accidental pet-store litter have found homes.

UPDATE: Waffles is the RABBIT!!!!!! 🐰

Waffles 🧇 is hoping for his special
home before the paw-lidays! 🎄🐾 He absolutely loves his foster family (animals included), but is hoping for a more permanent place to stay.

As the holidays approach, we want to remind everyone that pets should never be surprise gifts. Animals aren’t toys or decorations—they’re living, feeling beings who require time, patience, and a long-term commitment. Sadly, when the excitement fades, too many pets are forgotten or discarded once the “newness” wears off.

Learning about proper care, lifespan, costs, and daily needs is essential, and when a family is truly prepared, adoption can be one of the most meaningful decisions you’ll ever make!

Pets aren’t seasonal and animals like Waffles deserve homes that last long after the holidays are over. If you’ve done the research, are ready for the commitment, and are looking to add a lifelong companion to your family, Waffles would love to meet you. 💛

He's such a good boy. Read more and apply here: https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2565920&name=Waffles

📌 UPDATE IN A PINNED COMMENT

🆘 HAMSTER EMERGENCY 🆘

📍 Tri-Cities, WA

We just received an urgent request for help involving 20+ hamsters currently housed in a single enclosure, with multiple females likely pregnant. We are actively working to coordinate intake, but this is a situation we cannot handle alone.

Our first order of business will be getting our hands on them and separating males and females.

We desperately need help from our community, surrounding communities, and fellow rescues.

➡️ If you are able to foster a hamster, please text us ASAP at 509-850-0023. Fosters DO NOT need to be local, but do need to be willing to commute to Kennewick when needed.

➡️ If you are part of a small animal rescue and have room to take in one or more hamsters, please reach out. We are more than willing to help coordinate transport.

Every share, every foster, every connection matters. Please help us prevent this situation from becoming even more overwhelming.

We will be making a list and taking donations for supplies (such as bedding, enrichment, etc), so please stay tuned.

UPDATE: We are not looking for someone to take all 20. We are looking for individual foster placements or rescue transfers where possible.

Hi there, I'm Clefairy! 💗

I'm a sweet little bunny who loves to get lots of pets and I use my litterbox like a proper lady. I'm newer to the rescue but getting braver every day. I have been exploring my foster home more and more and it's kind of exciting! As I mentioned I love pets and greeting my favorite humans, but I also love fresh snacks. Some of my favorites are romaine, carrots and apples, but I don't get those last 2 too often since my foster says too much isn't good for me.

Speaking of things that are good for me, my adoption fee includes a wellness exam, spay, and microchip – isn't that awesome? Oh and there's more! My entire setup (4x4ft xpen, bowls litter box etc) is available for an additional donation! Soooo if you're ready for a little sweetness in your life, I'm the girl for you! Click on that adopt button and apply today, I can't wait to come home!

Make Free-Roaming Easier for Your Rabbit 🎄🐰

If you’re wanting to give your rabbit more freedom to roam, but are concerned about the mess they may leave, one simple change can make a huge difference! MULTIPLE LITTER BOXES.

Rabbits naturally prefer to go potty in corners or familiar spots. By placing several litter boxes in the areas they hang out most (near their pen, favorite hideouts, and high-traffic spaces), you make it easy for them to find a potty spot quickly and comfortably.

More litter boxes =
✔️ Better litter habits
✔️ Fewer accidents
✔️ Easier cleanup
✔️ A happier, more confident free-roaming bunny

Options, options, options! Spay/neuter is also tremendously helpful for litter box training.

Struggling with litter training? Comment below and we can try to give more tips!
