FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Where are the bunnies and how can I meet them?
We are a foster home based rescue. All of our animals are located in group or individual foster homes in the Miami-Dade/Broward areas.
- Before meeting our rabbits, you will need to attend a BUNNY101 classes and submit an ADOPTION APPLICATION, after which a Meet&Greet with the rabbit can be arranged.
- For guinea pigs, please complete this ADOPTION APPLICATION.
Is there a cost for adopting? I can get a rabbit for free, why should I pay?
Our adoption fee is $100 for rabbits and $75 for guinea pigs. Our animals are adopted out to forever homes only after they have been fully vetted and medically cleared — health is not always guaranteed if you purchase a rabbit from a pet store, breeder or get one free from an ad. Additionally, while you might be able to get a rabbit for free or cheaper, they might not be spay/neutered. The cost of spay/neutering a rabbit is $300-600 depending on the veterinarian. Unfixed rabbits can be destructive, aggressive, may not litter-box train as easily and end up in rescues after dumped. Adopting a rescue rabbit is not only cheaper in the long run, you are helping to save a life!
Do you accept owner surrenders? I found a bunny can you take it?
We are 100% foster home based and do not have a shelter facility. Our ability to take in new animals depends on the availability of a foster home. At this time, all of our foster homes and waitlist are FULL (estimated wait time is 2-3 months).
- If you ARE able to foster the animal until adoption (this can take up to 6 months) then please submit a FOSTER APPLICATION and one of our coordinators will be in touch with you.
- If you ARE NOT able to foster the animal you can submit a SURRENDER REQUEST and we will email you when a spot on our waitlist opens up.
Do you accept dogs / cats / wild rabbits / etc.?
Penny & Wild: Smalls of South Florida is a 501(c)(3) small animal rescue; we specialize in domestic rabbits and guinea pigs but occasionally accept other small mammals such as hamsters or ferrets on a case by case basis, if a foster is available.
We DO NOT accept: cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, wild rabbits (cottontails, marsh rabbits) or other wildlife.
