Adoption
We have lots of lovely bunnies and guinea pigs looking for new homes. All of our animals deserve a second chance and a family to call their own. Our rabbits are health checked, neutered and vaccinated before they leave us and we offer life-long support should you need it. If you have space in your home for a couple of extra residents, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We have bunnies and guinea pigs of all shapes and sizes so hopefully have the right match for your family!
Pet Services
To help fund the rescue, we offer boarding for small animals (e.g. rabbits and guinea pigs) while you go on holiday. All animals are kept in minimum 6ft hutches overnight with access to runs on grass in a secure paddock during the day. We also offer various dog walking and pet sitting services. We can easily adapt our care to suit your pet's needs and are happy to give medication, etc. Our boarding spaces fill up fast - particularly in school holidays - so please get in touch soon! Please visit www.furlockholmes-services.co.uk to find out more about our second business and how it fundraises for the rescue.
Animal Visits
We take our specially-trained team of rabbits and guinea pigs (and occasionally ponies, ferrets, bantam chickens, snails and more) into nursing homes, schools and other residential/day care places. During an animal visit session, participants are able to have a small animal on their lap for handling. They are encouraged to interact with the animal and groom/feed/talk to the animal and we find this is incredibly beneficial for all participants. As well as this, we offer educational visits to schools and groups.

Home-to-Home Scheme
​
Sometimes, a pet owner will be unable to take care of their pet anymore, yet surrendering the pet to a rescue centre may not be suitable. This could be because the animal is not suited to the rescue environment, because the owner is not in a rush to rehome their pet or because the rescue is full and has no space for the animal.
​
We can help the owner find a new home for their pet by posting details of the animal on our website and social media pages for the owner in our Home-to-Home Scheme. Prospective owners/adopters would still be approved via our Homecheck system.
​
We will give prospective adopters as much information as possible, although we cannot make any claim to accurate knowledge of the animal's health or suitability. A home-to-home rehomed animal will not have been in care of the rescue and so comes without the usual guarantees that Furlock Holmes provides. It is a form of private adoption. We will, however, ask the previous owner of the animal to send over all veterinary history and, where applicable, ensure the animal is fully neutered and vaccinated.
​
If you wish to use our Home-to-Home Scheme to rehome your pet, please complete the form below, ensuring you select the "Home-to-Home" option on the second page.
