Adopt Small Animals

"Marla"

This is Marla! She is a stunning, adult, female, Lionhead bunny. Marla has a very pretty, seal point colored coat. She came to the shelter because she was found as a stray. She is very affectionate and loves to be held and petted. If you are interested in Marla please visit her at Reigning Cats and Dogs in Kennebunk. Jason and Paula have been taking great care of her making sure she has an array of fresh vegetables; lots of love and attention; and time outside of her cage to run and play. She may be the perfect bunny for you!

We are wonderful creatures who make perfect pets for the people who are ready to provide the care we need to be happy and healthy. All of us bunnies really appreciate you reading about our care before considering adopting us.

Fill out and print an application or send an application online.

Small animals can make great pets. They teach children to be responsible in the care of an animal that does not require the high demands of a dog or a cat. It is important to consider the animal's life span when making a decision to adopt as some of these smaller animals can live 6 - 10 years or more, and they all require proper care and nutrition. Many times, children tire of the chores of animal care so it is imperative that the adults realize that they will ultimately be responsible for the animal's care. Please call our Adoption Center at (207) 985-3244 to see if we have the right small animal for you and your family !

Adoption: Small Animals

If you are interested in adopting a small animal, simply fill out and print an application, submit an application online, or stop by the shelter to complete the process. Our selection of smaller animals varies. We often have rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, gerbils, hamsters, birds and rats. The adoption fee varies depending on the animal. We provide a free health exam with your newly adopted pet, but the new owner must provide the housing.

  • Rabbit adoption fees include the spay/neuter - $55.00
  • Guinea Pigs - $15.00 each or $25.00 for a pair
  • Ferrets, Hedge Hogs & Sugar Gliders - $60.00
  • Hamsters, Gerbils, Mice & Rats - $5.00
  • Birds - variable

Check out one of our long term residents (LTR)! These great small animals have been at the shelter for over 3 months. Small animals tend to be overlooked since they are readily available at many local petstores. Please remember that the shelter has wonderful small animals that have been frequently handled and checked medically. We can help you find the right animal to suit your lifestyle!
