Updates, stories, and news from the rescue
Meet the newest member of our sanctuary family: Mr. Buttons. He is approximately 10 years old, he is cute as an absolute button, and he has had a very rough go of it — but that is all about to change.
Meet Julius Cheeser — one of our Long Island mice who was found in a storm drain and has come so incredibly far from where he started. He is ready for his forever home, and we want to make sure the right family finds him.
We are heartbroken to share that our resident ancient roborovski hamster, Carrie, passed away this week. She was not a spring chicken when she was surrendered to us, and she would have been with us for a full year on January 25th. She kept her energy and her sass right until the very end.
We are kicking off 2026 with our very first adoption of the year — and it's a double! Mama Umbreon and her daughter Espeon have gone home, and we couldn't be more thrilled about where they landed.
This is Calliope's story. It is a story about a skin condition that started small, was mismanaged before she came to us, and ultimately became something far more serious. We are sharing it because we believe her experience can help other guinea pig owners recognize warning signs and advocate for their animals before things escalate.
We are barely 24 hours into 2026 and we already have our first foster fail of the year — and honestly, we couldn't be happier about it.
What a year it has been. As we step into 2026, we want to take a moment to reflect on everything we accomplished together — and to thank every single person who made it possible.
You've probably noticed that social media, especially Facebook, has been frustrating lately - it's hard to see the content you're looking for. This has a really negative effect on non-profits who depend on reaching their audience on social media! We've put together a list of ways you can help us and ensure you and others see our content.
Our first surrender of the day is a trio of chinchillas—how cute are these ladies?! 😻
Alanna has officially welcomed Ziggy—Hero’s “normal” brother—into her home!
