Special Home Needed
A 6-8 week old male guinea pig is looking for a very special home. He is blind in one eye and has some neurological problems…..however he doesn’t know it, so he’s not really sure what all the fuss is about. He can run and popcorn around with the best of them.
We’d like to find him a special guinea savvy home that has had lots experience and is willing to welcome this little fella into their home….and hearts. He is currently in a foster home in Victoria.
Email info@smallanimalrescue.org for more info.
Choose chocolate
Encourage parents and children to consider what is appropriate at Easter. Choose a stuffed toy or a chocolate bun. There is no retirement home for unwanted Easter bunnies.
You can't have just one!
We have lots of great little piggers looking for a new home or a new companion. Guineas pigs should always live in pairs (or more), as single pigs, are lonely pigs.

Opt to Adopt!
Sadly, this is reality for so many rabbits…and this farm is better than most. Pet store rabbits come from farms much the same where the females are bred & bred until no longer useful.
Please don’t breed or buy while homeless pets die…Opt to Adopt!
Excuses why people can't keep their pets
People have a variety of EXCUSES why they can’t keep their pets
Moe recently developed a problem inside his left eye that unfortunately required his eye to be removed.
In 2007, Moe came to us as part of a large rescue of 19 meat rabbits set loose to fend for themselves in Maple Ridge.
Moe had now his surgery and is doing well. He currently lives with a group of bunnies (all altered of course) and his foster mom reports that he acts as though nothing happened to him.
As we all know, vet care is expensive, especially large operations. In order to help us help him and many others like Moe, we are hoping to fundraise for the cost of Moes surgery. If you are interested in donating, your donation would be greatly appreciated. To make a donation, please click on the DONATE tab above.
Thanks!
Moe sees things a bit differently now

Sadly their owner moved and left them behind with a friend (for 2 weeks). It has been alot more than 2 weeks and the owner has said she does not intend to come back for them. They are good with their litter box and are living with cats & dogs.
If you can help them, please email us ASAP at info@smallanimalrescue.org
Last night, the city of Richmond unanimously voted to BAN the sales of rabbits in pet stores in the city of Richmond. This will come into effect April 8, 2010.
The councillors were wonderful in their understanding of ALL the issues and they definitely saw & understood the bigger picture. We commend them for being so progressive and we have no doubt their decision will make a difference in the lives of rabbits in the future.
Please feel free to send them a thank you and tell them how much you appreciate the change they have made for the lives of the rabbits in the future.
