🚫 NOT ACCEPTING NEW SURRENDER REQUESTS UNTIL MARCH 1 🚫

At this time, all of our foster homes & waitlist are FULL. We are unable to accept new animals into our care unless the owner or finder is willing to temporarily foster until a permanent foster home or adopter becomes available. This process can take 2–3 months.

If you’re interested in becoming a temporary foster, please email intakes@pennyandwild.org to learn more. Thank you for your understanding and support!

HOW YOU CAN HELP


It takes 4-6 months to find a suitable home for a single rabbit or guinea pigs. Bonded pairs or trios can take up to a year to re-home.

Each rabbit and guinea pig costs $150-400 on intake, depending on if they are already spay/neutered or not. This includes the cost of setup and supplies ($50), a wellness exam ($100), and spay/neuter surgery ($350 on average). Not to mention the ongoing monthly cost of food, hay, and litter, which are around $40/month per animal.

If you ARE able to temporarily and/or sponsor the animal until a new home is found

we are more likely to accept animal(s) into the rescue if we have the time to find a permanent foster or forever home. While we do our best to help every animal, the most common reasons we’re unable to assist are a lack of available foster spaces and/or lack of funds.

If you ARE NOT able to foster until an adoptive home is found

we’ll add you to our wait-list and work behind the scenes to place your animal(s) into a foster home as soon as one becomes available. In the meantime, we’ll also be fundraising to cover the cost of supplies and veterinary care.

If you can find a foster and/or sponsor through your own network of friends, family, or by asking online, we’ll be able to help sooner!
