Rabbit and Small Animal Rescue

Adopt a Friend

Adopting an animal is easy. Just fill out the application form below. We'll review it and get back to you within 48 hours, no phone calls please. If you have questions email us at: rasa.rescue@gmail.com, no phone calls please. We screen all adopters to ensure that our animals end up in appropriate homes, and therefore cannot guarantee anyone an animal. However, even if the animal you are interested in is no longer available, we can usually help you find another animal who will fit perfectly into your family. Our rescue always has animals who are not yet on the internet, and we also have good connections to other rescues.

If you're not sure what animal you want or you have questions about adopting, you can either email us at rasa.rescue@gmail.com or fill out the form below, no phone calls please. We'd be happy to discuss the choice with you. Because our animals are in foster care, we know a great deal about their personalities, which makes matching easier and more successful.

Adoption donations ensure that our animals go to responsible homes and allow us to provide for the animals in our care. We are in desperate need of funds and even the smallest donation helps. Our minimum fees/donations are as follow:

Holland Lop & Lionhead rabbits: $80.00 All other rabbits: $70.00, Bonded Pair of Rabbits (excluding Lionheads & Holland Lops): $130
Guinea Pigs: $30
Neutered Male Guinea Pigs: $40.00
Chinchillas: $50
Hamsters/Gerbils: $12.00
Mice: $5.00
Rats: $40.00 neutered
Cockateils: $90.00 single $150.00 bonded pair

Discounts: We do sometimes offer discounts for hard-to-place animals, and we may very well have a hard-to-place animal who will fit right in with your family. Email us for information. We'd be happy to help you figure out which companion animal is right for your family!
