We Need a Good Home
Please note the majority of our small animals come in as strays,
therefore we may not know anything about their prior life. All
temperament descriptions come from our observations of interactions
with people, and are true to the best of our knowledge. The adoption
fee for most of these pets is $20. Please check with the shelter on
fees for smaller rodents.
Please Adopt Us

Matt Breed: Guinea Pig Color: Black &
White Sex: Male/intact Age: 1

I am, ready for my new home with a cage and everything! I'm
pretty friendly and definitely pettable! |
 |
Identification:FCAS005053A Name: None
Yet Breed: Guinea Pig Color:
Brown Sex: Female Age:
Adult Other: Imagine being a stray guinea pig! Well,
I was, but someone must have loved me once because I don't
mind being held and petted. Do you have a little room in your
home for me? |
 |
Identification:FCAS005134A Name:
Unknown Breed: Rough-coated Color:
Tri-colored Sex: Female/intact Age: 1
year Other: I'm not really keen on being picked up,
which probably means I'm not used to it. Yet. I could be a
really sweet pet if you take the time to teach me the joys of
cuddling! |
 |
Identification:FCAS005136A Name:
Unknown Breed: Rough-coated Color:
Tri-colored Sex: Male/intact Age: 2
months Other: I'm here with my brother, and we
haven't been socialized much, so we're a bit nervous. Time and
patience and cuddling will bring us around,a nd we'd love to
go home together if you can find room for two. |

Identification:FCAS005137A Name:
Unknown Breed: Rough-coated Color:
Tri-colored Sex: Male/intact Age: 2
months Other: Brother, here, waiting
not-so-patiently for a quieter home where someone can pet me
and play with me and teach me to get in touch with my inner
cuddlebug! Preferably in company with my brother, of course.

Identification:FCAS005365A Name:
Unknown Breed: Golden Color:
Brown Sex: Female/intact Age: 3
months Other: Can you see me through the bars of my
cage? I'll come over to see you if you come visit me. I don't
take up too much space. Just thought I'd let you know in case
you want to take me home. |
 |
Identification:FCAS004906A Name:
Unknown Breed: Domestic Color: White and
gray Sex: Female Age: 1
year Other: My friends and I all came here together
when our owner couldn't care for us anymore. I'm the only one
left! Sometimes I like to be held and petted, and other times
I stamp my little bunny foot at people. I may be a rabbit, but
I'm entitled to my opinion. And opinionated bunnies are the
most fun! |
 |
Identification:FCAS004988A Name: Bun Bun
Green Breed: Domestic Color: Black and
white Eng. Spot Sex: Male/intact Age:
Adult Other: I am a trained house bunny! Seriously,
I know how to use a litter box, I like cats and kids, and I
come with my very own red and white sheet, which is my special
toy. I'm friendly and curious and would be great even for a
first time bunny owner! |
 |
Identification:FCAS005209A Name:
Harrison Breed: Minirex Color: Black and
white English Spot Sex: Female/intact Age:
1 year Other: I'm sweet, loving, and wonderful about
being held and petted. And since I'm a Mini-rex, I have VERY
pettable fur. I'd make a good housepet for almost anybody,
even if you've never had rabbits before. |
 |
Identification:FCAS005223A Name:
Maggie Breed: Harlequin Color:
Gray/white/tan Sex: Female/intact Age: 1
year Other: I'm a beautiful girl, though a bit on
the hefty side. I'm a little squirmy while being picked up but
once you hold me, I calm right down. I'm very sweet and
friendly, and would like some space to run around in so I can
regain my lovely figure! |
 |
Identification:FCAS005237A Name:
Unknown Breed: Dwarf Hotot Color: White
with black Sex: Female Age:
Adult Other: I came in as a stray. Can you believe I
was wandering around outside? I mean, do I look like a wild
bunny? Certainly not; I'm much too beautiful. And if you've
never met a vocal bunny, come see me! I'm one bunny girl who's
not afraid to speak her mind. |
