Those we get to love forever

OUR PERMANENT “SANCTUARY” RESIDENTS

While Penny & Wild operates primarily as a rescue (with the goal of re-homing our rabbits & guinea pigs into loving indoor, forever homes) we sometimes encounter rabbits & guinea pigs that may not be suitable for adoptable or are unlikely to be adopted. This can be for various reasons:

  • They might be older; seniors are often overlooked due to their age or secondary health concerns.
  • They might need life-long medical management for a condition.
  • Or they might be “fospice” and only have a few more months to live.

We believe every rabbit & guinea pig deserves the change to live out their lives in comfort and happiness. Our Sanctuary Program provides loving, long-term or life-long foster homes where these rescues receives veterinary care and are cherished for as long as they are with us.

Bentley & Talia

Bentley was surrendered to Penny & Wild (August 2022) when he was ten years old. His owners purchased him as a baby for their children to play with and he spent a decade locked in a hutch in their backyard. As their children got older and they lost interest they reached out to us. Bentley had advanced glaucoma in both eyes when he came to us. He was never taken to a vet until he came into our care. He now goes to an ophthalmologist every 3 months and gets daily eye drops to manage his condition. He also gets pain medication for arthritis twice a day and subq fluids to help his kidneys.
Talia was caught running loose on the side of the road by a good samaritan (October 2022). We later learned that she had been a stray and fed by the neighbors in that area for NINE YEARS without anybody stepping in to help get her safe. Talia was caught just weeks after a massive tropical storm blew through the area which caused severe flooding, drowning all of her babies and most of the other rabbits in the area.

Bentley & Talia are safe in a Sanctuary Foster Home with one of our long-time fosters. Their foster is committed to keeping them for the rest of their lives but she has multiple other fosters and 4 personal rabbits if her own. They would love a Sanctuary Foster Home of their own where they could get all of the attention and spend their retirement years getting spoiled.

Daisy & Mae

Daisy, and her daughter Mae, were surrendered to Penny & Wild in March 2024. They are both “Lethal White Guinea Pigs” which means that they were born with a number of birth defects and medical conditions as a result of their genes. Their previous owner was no longer to afford their care and reached out to us to help.
Daisy used to be able to see when she was younger but developed mature cataracts and is now blind. She relies heavily on the presence of Mae to help her feel secure and get around. Daisy receives daily eye drops to keep her eyes comfortable.
Mae was born with microphthalmia (meaning her eyes are too small) and also receives daily eye drops. Unlike her mother, she’s never been able to see and was born deaf. As well as missing half of her lower jaw! After years of getting her teeth trimmed every couple of months Mae had corrective surgery to remove 2 teeth once in our care. This made it much easier for her to eat.
These two girls are extremely sweet, and despite being deaf and blind, are happy in their sanctuary foster home.
