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.

Microchipping
Every year, we take in many stray animals. Often these animals are dumped, but sometimes they have escaped or been stolen and it is important to be able to track down their owners. Only 1.5% of the animals that come into the rescue are microchipped and we are keen to increase the number of microchipped animals by offering a cheap, simple and easy microchipping service throughout the local area.
​
Microchipping is a simple, safe and quick procedure which could be the one thing that reunites you with your pet should they go missing. Each microchip is the size of a grain of rice and the procedure, which only takes a few minutes, lasts a lifetime. It is similar to having an injection and you will not be able to see the chip once it has been inserted. If your pet is found, a vet or rescue centre will be able to scan the chip to find your details on a microchip database and reunite you with your pet.
​
We are fully qualified, experienced an insured to implant microchips and offer microchipping services at the rescue, or from the comfort of your own home (Whitchurch + 10 mile radius). We can microchip cats, rabbits and ferrets.
​
We use 1.4mm x 10mm ISO microchips that are suitable for all cats, rabbits and other small animals. After we have completed the implanting, we will register your pet through Animal Tracker, a DEFRA registered microchip database. You should receive an email for each microchipped pet registered with Animal Tracker.
