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.

Events
At the rescue, we hold a variety of fundraising events every year. These events raise vital funds for the charity, but are also great fun and a great chance to come along to discuss adoption or find out more about what we do.
​
Family Fun Day
Every year, we hold a Family Fun Day (normally on the first Sunday in September) which is our biggest annual event. In the last couple of years, we have welcomed over 800 people and raised £5,000 each year. The event is great fun for all the family and includes a huge inflatable obstacle course, catering, ice cream van, a chance to meet the animals, information about the rescue, a raffle and so much more! If you are interested in getting involved in the running of our Family Fun Day, help is always appreciated, so please do get in touch.

Christmas at Furlock
At Christmas, we hold our beautiful "Christmas at Furlock" with the barn open like a stable and Christmas treats and gifts available to buy.
​
External Events
Although we do not provide a "petting farm" at events, we are always keen to attend with information about what we do and donation buckets. We may occasionally be able to bring one of our rescue dogs or ferrets, but will not bring any of our other small furries due to the stress it causes for the animals.
