Small animals can live for a long time – 7, 10, 15, even surplus 20 years depending on species and breed. We try to place rescues in "furever" homes.

We see them surrendered for various reasons. Often the adopters were not prepared to cover the cost of vetting, supplies, or training required for their new pet. Additionally, they were not prepared for the time cost associated with a small animal’s care.

Older rescues are harder to rehome than baby animals, placing an extra burden on rescuers.

We look at the age, characteristics & habits, as well as the commitment the adopter is able & willing to place on their adopted pet. We try to match the pet’s temperament & potential needs to the adopter's ability to provide for the pet.
