Small n Furry (and some scaley) creatures looking for their forever homes!

We have several rabbits, hamsters, fancy rats, ball pythons and bearded dragons looking for their forever homes. To see an updated list of our adoptable pets please visit our petfinder page

We also are in need of temporary foster homes for multiple animals!

At this time we are AT CAPACITY for all mammals and not accepting new surrenders.

We have a waiting list of over a dozen animals that are in need of our help, but we can take any more in until a few of our current animals are adopted or placed in foster.

List from longest residents to newest surrenders:
Myrtle: young female ball python from a neglect case in 2023 - took a year but she is finally rehabbed and ready to go!
Salazar slytherin - 29 year old ball python needs experienced adopter.
Marvelous Marge - still looking for a special hospice home for this sweet giant angora!
Cinderella - beautiful fluffy angora mix that has been with us for several months.
Lint - lionhead angora mix that was hand raised, she has grown up with us!
Popcorn - lionhead mix, super friendly!
Chad - lionhead mix (I sense a theme here… so many lionheads!). Neutered and would do well with another rabbit companion.
Millie - young female budgerigar parakeet looking for a flock to join!
Firecracker - spunky true to her name! Going to be a BIG rabbit.
Milo - shy baby harlequin rabbit that needs a quiet home.
Poppy and Rose - two calm, sweet female guinea pigs
Cleo - super chill adult female bearded dragon
Grandma Gertie - hospice senior bearded dragon.

Too many hamsters and rats to list! We have a litter of babies that were just surrendered that will be available in several weeks!

Today we had a wonderful donation made from the family of one of our special boarding clients in his honor. Milo was a special needs splay legged rabbit. His owner made sure he had the best care to help with his handicap. Milo has stayed with us a few times over the last year when his owner had to travel.

Sadly he had an aggressive cancer and his family helped him over the rainbow bridge this week.

To honor Milo and their generosity we have decided to name this little guy Milo II. He is the little harlequin rabbit that was found abandoned in a hutch with the older lop rabbit when their owners moved away.

Milo II has grown and made so many improvements since arriving to the rescue. He still is a little unsure if people but is quickly coming out of his shell. He is now ready for adoption and we estimate he is about 8-10 weeks old.

Popcorn still searching for his forever home!!

This adorable young lionhead rabbit has been with us since April. He came to us from our friends at the Popcorn Park Animal Refuge after he was surrendered due to a serious eye infection. It was discovered that he had a condition called Entropion. Our vet started him on a course of medications that helped cleared up his infection. Fortunately as popcorn grew his eye condition resolved on its own and he will not need any additional treatment at this time.

He is fortunately in an amazing foster home but he can only stay there till the middle of August. We are hoping to find him a forever home before then. Popcorn has had 3 adoptions fall through so far… poor guy has not had the best luck.

If we can’t find a forever home for him before he has to come back to the rescue, we’d love to find another foster home for him to hop around in until the perfect forever home is found!

Popcorn is litter box trained and a very silly and active rabbit. He has been great with people and may do well with another rabbit.

Red Tail Boa Constrictor looking for a new home!

Chomper is a 14 year old male red tail that is searching for a new place to call home. His owner was no longer able to care for him due to some changes in the family.

Chomper is a spry and healthy snake - he doesn’t mind being handled but would rather spend the day slithering around his enclosure. We are hoping to find a reptile savvy home for him to join!

Dust Bunny was adopted today!

Many people ask me how I handle not getting attached to all of the animals that I take in. Yes, I’ll miss this floof a lot and really enjoyed raising him - but I am so thrilled to send him off on his next adventure.

This adorable fluffy rabbit was one of two that I took in back in April when they were about 24 hours old. Hand raising rabbits is no easy task but this little guy was a fighter!

His sister, Lint, is still searching for her for her home.

Special shoutout and thanks to rooly_buns for making an awesome rabbit litter box! We LOVE their boxes and it really helps keep our rabbits clean and happy.

Cinderella, one of the rabbits we have for adoption has a naughty habit of digging in her regular litter box setup. She had a full on party last night and made an absolute mess!

Fortunately we just got a few more Rooly boxes and were able to give her this fresh setup today. We’re going to give her a separate box with bedding in it for her to dig.

Cinderella is still looking for her forever home! She has come a long way from being surrendered a matted mess a few months ago. She is a very silly rabbit and I think would definitely enjoy a home where she can hop around and have more space.

Where are the arachnid enthusiasts?? We have creatures just for you!

(Apologizes in advance to those who have arachnophobia - warning posted!)

We have 4 beautiful tarantulas that were just surrendered to our rescue that are looking for new homes to make their webs in! This collection was left behind by their previous owner with a family member that was not comfortable caring for them long term.

First we have an adult Zebra Leg tarantula - known for their extensive burrowing ability these tarantulas are usually pretty docile.

Next we have a juvenile Pink Toe Tarantula. This is an arboreal species (they are excellent climbers!) and they spend their days weaving elaborate webs underneath leaves or on tree trunks.

Third is a big beautiful Curly Hair Tarantula. Otherwise known as the “fluffy” tarantula. This species is well known for their specialized
urticating hairs on their body that can be released when they are scared or threatened. However this species is very commonly kept in the pet trade and can be quite docile.

Fourth we have a Mexican Red Knee Tarantula. This species is known for their unique color pattern and quick moves. This one almost escaped this morning while filling its water dish.

Please note that we do not have any official information of gender and age on these arachnids.

Interested in adopting one of these unique creatures? Please send us a message!

Young male guinea pig in search of a new herd to join!

Meet Lucky Larry - this adorable male Abyssinian guinea pig was rescued by one of our fosters from a less than ideal situation. Despite his rough start he is a very friendly and inquisitive little pig! We are hoping to find a family with other male piggies so he can have friends, as guinea pigs are very social animals.

If you are interested in giving Larry a forever home, please send us a message!

Babies having babies… hamsters take over the rescue!!

I got a call this afternoon literally as I was about to finalize a hamster adoption. They said they had 2 hamsters that had babies and they needed to “get rid of them” and they were already in their car driving around and wanted me to take them asap.

Apparently they tried to take them to a Petsmart, but of course they refused to help them and gave them my number. The family got 2 hamsters (knowing they were male and female) from a friend that had an accidental litter. They then were shocked (really) that they had babies shortly after. Claiming that they were overwhelmed with their care and their kids were not ready for the responsibility they needed them gone.

Even though I have *15* hamsters in the rescue right now, I got in my car in the middle of cleaning the rescue room and met this family to pick up these hamsters.

These adorable Syrian hamsters are not only siblings that have now created 4 more babies, they are babies themselves!! They appear to be 3-4 months old. The pet stores don’t tell people just how fast these little rodents multiply! I’m glad I was able to take them in when I did before they had second and third generations.

Mom and dad are now separated and so far mom is taking care of her 4 little 2 day old babies.

The other issue here was the enclosure that they were being kept in…not only was it filthy, but incredibly too small. I’m going to make a whole separate post on that and also provide some educational resources for appropriate hamster enclosures.

The dad will be ready for adoption next week, mom will have to stay with her babies.

We also have several other Syrian hamsters from our last surrender that still need homes! Along with Fred, the senior that was abandoned. Plus 3 Campbell dwarf female hamsters from the “oops” litter we took in back in April!

We have a LOT of hamster mouths to feed and enclosures to keep clean. We have a lot of hamster specific items on our Amazon wishlist. We are also running low on essentials like cleaner, trash bags and paper towels. Any amount helps!

Pigeon looking for a new flock to join!

Meet Fred, a young adult racing pigeon. He was found by one of our fosters on a busy highway last month, dehydrated and without his tail feathers. We think he may have gotten into a scuffle with a predator and lost his way home. He had several ID bands and my foster was able to contact his owner, who sadly did not want him back.

We are assisting his foster mom with helping find him a forever home. His tail feathers are growing back and be is feeling much better with some TLC.

If you are interested in adopting Fred, please send us a message!

Hospice home needed!

Meet Grandma Gertie. This super senior bearded dragon was recently surrendered because her owner sadly passed away. Unfortunately we have limited information about her history. We estimate that she could be easily 10+ years old, but her age is unknown.

On intake we noticed that she had signs of significant dental disease, so we brought her to our vet. They confirmed our suspicion and we planned for a dental procedure. Since dental procedures for bearded dragons require anesthesia we decided to run some pre-op bloodwork. Sadly we found that GG is severely anemic, and most likely has cancer.

Due to the risks of anesthesia we decided with our vet that the best thing would be to not pursue a dental cleaning at this time. We are using topical antiseptic cleaners for her mouth and she still is eating like a champ, although she prefers to be hand fed insects (her hunting reflexes are a bit slower).

We are looking for a very special home for this super senior beardie so that she can live out the rest of her life being spoiled as she deserves!

Prior Bearded Dragon or reptile experience is a requirement for her adoption.

For more information, please send us a message!

Rabbit grooming!

Tired of your rabbit blowing dust bunnies all over the house? Schedule an appointment for a deshedding visit. Rabbits molt and shed their fur frequently, as it’s important to keep up with the maintenance of their fur, as they can get sick if they ingest too much of the loose fur while grooming themselves.

Yes all of that fur came off of one little rabbit!
