Rescue & Re-homing Help

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU

Penny & Wild SOS FL is a foster home- based rabbit and guinea pig rescue. We are entirely volunteer-run and donation based. We do not have a shelter facility, and our ability to take in new animals depends on the availability of foster homes and donations.

We receive messages, emails, and surrender or re-homing requests for as many as 30 animals each week. Despite the tireless efforts of our volunteers, it’s physically impossible to keep up with the demand. Unfortunately, this means we are unable to accept new animals immediately, as much as we wish we could help everyone in need.

We prioritize urgent and critical cases, such as animals at risk in shelters, those found as strays, or those in the custody of animal control. At the same time, we maintain a wait-list for owners seeking to re-home their pets and try to provide advice and support to everyone who reaches out. For those who are are unable to wait, we’ll do our best to provide helpful resources, including tips on avoiding re-homing and guidance for safely re-homing your pet if waiting isn’t an option.

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!

Before beginning the Surrender Request please make sure you have the following to upload:

  • A copy of the animal’s medial record and/or spay-neuter record (if applicable.)
  • 3-5 clear, well lit pictures of the animal(s) being surrendered.
  • A picture of the animal’s current housing / enclosure.
  • A picture of the supplies you are currently using including: hay, pellets, litter, treats, supplements, toys, etc.
