Officials say that although the fire caused severe damage, it doesn’t appear as if it compromised the structure of the building, which was unoccupied and under construction.

Guinea pigs can live over five years, and they require a large cage with a hiding shelter, hay, a water bottle and food bowl, proper bedding, and toys. Guinea pigs are social little animals that need the company of another guinea pig of the same sex, so this is something to keep in mind. They love interaction from you, and many enjoy being held and cuddled. Guinea pigs need vitamin C supplementation alongside their diet of guinea pig pellets, hay, treats, veggies, and fruits.

Rabbits can live over ten years, require space and commitment, and can be costly. They are social animals who want your attention and who each have their own personalities. Rabbits are fragile and have delicate spines, so their owner must be educated on proper rabbit handling. Because of this, rabbits do best with adults and older children.

Rabbits need a large cage with a hide shelter, water bottle and food bowl, toys like balls and chew sticks, and a hay rack. They can be litter box trained, which means they also need a litter box. A healthy rabbit’s diet consists of 80% hay with timothy, grass, and oat hays for older rabbits and alfalfa hay for young rabbits. Rabbits also need a large variety of vegetables and greens, a limited amount of rabbit food pellets, and the very occasional sugary treat like carrots or berries.

Rabbits get bored just like the rest of us, and enjoy ripping up newspaper and playing with cardboard boxes and toilet paper rolls. Rabbits can be messy and enjoy rearranging their cages exactly how they like it! They need room to roam and exercise outside of their cage each day, but it is very important to rabbit-proof your home areas before letting the rabbit out. They love to chew on wires and destroy paperwork, and should always be supervised.

Adoption Fee: $35.00

Our bunnies are for indoors only.  Adoption includes their neuter and microchip.

Hamsters make great pets for older children or adults.  Syrian hamsters are more tolerant and loveable.  Dwarf hamsters can be more sensitive and fun to just watch.  Hamsters require decent size wire cages or large tanks with a lid that allows for airflow.  They should be on paper based bedding (no wood bedding with oils, like pine or cedar).  Hamsters can eat a good quality, hamster specific seed mix with supplemental snacks like cheerios, whole wheat pasta, fresh fruits and veggies, and even some hay to nibble on.  Hamsters require lots of chew toys to keep their teeth short and a wheel to run on and get their exercise.  Water bottles are a must as water bowls would get too dirty.  Hamsters like to burrow into their bedding, so hidey houses and deep substrate are a good idea so they can make themselves comfortable while they sleep during the day.  Hamsters are solitary creatures and should not be housed together.
