It is with immense sadness and disbelief, that we share the heartbreaking news Lisa has passed away at hospital in the early hours of June 18th.

Lisa was the founder of The Small Animal Rescue Society of B.C. and well known for her dedication and advocacy for the animals. Lisa lived and breathed for the unwanted small animals, her life was dedicated to them.

Lisa had a history of lung and bronchial illness.

Please be patient with the Volunteers of SARSBC while we navigate this tragedy in regards to the rescue work.

The remaining animals in the care of SARSBC are currently in foster homes.

The local Animal Rescue community will be planning a celebration of life for Lisa at a future date. And we will continue to update the community through social media as more information comes.

It’s backkkkkkkk 😟
This time in Seattle however with its transmissibility via flies, birds, tires etc, it’s inevitable that we will be seeing cases here too 😔

Please contact your veterinarian to get your rabbit vaccinated.

WSDA has confirmed a case of rabbit hemorrhagic disease ( ). The confirmed case was in King County and presented with sudden mortality of 90% of the rabbits.

There is now a vaccine available and rabbit owners can speak with their veterinarian about the possibility of vaccinating their rabbits.

A growing number of scientists are calling for an end to the "gold standard" of animal experimentation, because not does it come with ethical concerns, increasingly it may no longer the best way to get results, thanks to technological advances that can replicate human biology for testing drugs and c...

A good visual reminder as to why you shouldn’t house rabbits and guinea pigs together.
They have different dietary requirements, have different toileting habits and can have very different temperaments.

Update 5pm May 2
Nursing mom found so the babies will be joining her :-)

UPDATE: there are 7, 3 day old babies that would benefit from a nursing mom or someone with experience able to nurse them with formula

Can any rat savvy people help us out?

We received a call from a girl who called a local shelter and was told to call us about orphan *domestic* baby rats.
The mom rat passed away 3 days ago and she is distraught about the babies. She is crying on the message and is hoping to surrender them to us.
