We want our rescued pets to have loving, permanent homes and will do all that we can to match them with the right home and family. Please let us know what you are looking for in a new pet (i.e. personality, activity level, and family compatibility) so that we can help you find the perfect new family member! Pet ownership is a commitment of many years, and you will receive many years of joy and love from your new pet. All of our rescued pets live with a local foster family until their forever home is found. They are all checked by a veterinarian, current on their vaccinations, spayed/neutered and dogs are micro-chipped.
Rio originally came to us as a baby in a family of rabbits rescued from Mud Island. He was quickly adopted and became best friends with a cat. Together they free-roamed the living room, often waiting at the door for their human to return. Sadly, his human had to relocate and was not able to take Rio on the journey. We gladly took him back into our family and have taken note of his unique personality.
Rio is a BIG boy! He does not like being picked up or held. He is very timid and a bit skittish with fast movements. You could say he’s a real scaredy-cat….fitting considering his best friend was a cat! In a few short days we have seen his willingness to trust with patient hands, and he melts like butter for nose rubs and kisses.
He is very vocal. He loves food. He shows off his BIG binkies when he’s happy.
He will do best in a family with a cat and room to roam. He has the most excellent litter skills and behavior outside his enclosure.
Won’t you consider giving Rio a loving home where he can be part of the family? If you are patient, the rewards will be great with this guy!
P.S. Check out the adorable video of him eating while reclining on our web site!
