Pickles & Gerkin

€35adoption fee

two sweet ladies who love to lunch! Meet Pickles & Gerkin – they are 1-2 year old sisters who came into the NSPCA after being found living in completely unsuitabke conditions. Pickles had a ton of missing fur on her back and open wounds, and was extremely withdrawn. Her breathing was also quite laboured. We weren’t sure if she would make it. After a few days here and secretly eating at night, Pickles slowly started to come out of her shell and we were finally able to give her the medication she so badly needed. She got a medicated bath, got treated for parasites and went on anti-biotics to help her lungs recover from her infection. She really turned a corner during this time and became a different pig – all of a sudden she as ‘wheeking’ when she heard the treats coming, munching down on hay and coming to the front of the enclosure when she heard her salad coming, and her pal Gerkin was with her the whole way! These girls have really been through it and deserve the best piggy home after all they’ve been through – could you be the one for them? Thank you for choosing to adopt guinea pigs from the NSPCA. Please make sure to do your research on how to care for a small animal before considering adopting. We recommend guinea pigs be kept indoors with an enclosure that’s a minimum of 140 x 60cm for with an adjoining run to exercise and explore. Guinea pigs require proper housing, bedding, food, enrichment, exercise and vet visits. Small animals are not pets for young children to look after, all the family must be on board to look after and care for any new pet coming into the home. We have seen too many being abandoned so please make sure that you are in a position to look after them and provide them with everything they need.

Haribo

Haribo is a little shy since moving to the rescue but she is loving being able to explore different smells and textures. She needs a home that understands that cuddles aren’t her favourite thing, but she will take any treat you give her… and maybe that might lead to being more comfortable around you. Haribo deserves the best, so if you think you can provide that, give her a chance!

Miss Alice

£10–£50adoption fee

Miss Alice is a sweet, inquisitive girl who was brought into our care after he was found by a kind member of the public abandoned. This pretty girl has a lovely gentle nature which is hard not to love. She is playful and sociable with a big personality and lots of charm. She loves being involved in everything around her and is very people-oriented, always keen to investigate new faces and making new friends! After satisfying his curiosity, she loves curling up in her cosy bed for a peaceful snooze. Miss Alice would be best suited with a family who have experience caring for a ferret and will be able to provide her with a spacious set up, so she has room to exercise and toys to keep her entertained. Ferrets are very active and curious, so her new family will need to be able to provide her with plenty of playtime and stimulation.

Tiffin

Tiffin is a little shy, but very curious and we can see her confidence growing slowly. She can get a little startled by sudden movements, but once she knows you’re there, she is very gentle and curious. She tolerates gentle petting but doesn’t seem too keen on being picked up just yet. Her favourite activity by far is foraging and she very meticulously strips every spray she finds.

Fig

Little Fig is a very quiet, exceptionally shy little baby who is just adjusting to life away from his mama. He came to us at a tiny 4 weeks old as the only surviving pup from an accidental litter. He is learning how to do all the adult hamster things like burrowing and foraging all on his own, so he’s understandably finding the transition to be quite a scary leap into the unknown!

Nana

Nana came to us quite shy, but she has come out of her shell a lot. She loves getting out of her enclosure for play pen time and is getting used to being pet. Her favourite meal is porridge and she loves a coconut chip. Nana has a lot of energy so she’ll need a nice big enclosure with a 33cm wheel to run on as she’s quite a large syrian. Please note: Nana requires a barless/tank style enclosure.

Pea & Phoenix

€100adoption fee

two paired pals looking for the perfect home Pea and Phoenix are two female buns who came into the shelter last year and were adopted. Sadly, through no fault of their own, their owner could no longer keep them and had to return them to us. These girls were really well looked after and they are such gentle souls, so we hope it’s not long before they’ll find their new home. Pea and Phoenix are very close and they would suit a family who will have them roaming around the house, snoozing, eating and cuddling all day long 🙂. Thank you for choosing to adopt rabbits from the NSPCA. Please make sure to do your research on how to care for a small animal before considering adopting. We recommend rabbits be kept indoors with an enclosure that’s a minimum of 140 x 60cm with plenty of indoor free roam time.

Chester

€100adoption fee

a really gentle sweet little man Chester is a 4 month old lionhead cross rabbit who was born in a foster home with his 4 siblings. He has always known love and kindness and s a very well rounded bun as a result. He is the smallest of his siblings so he needs to wait another few weeks before he’s big enough to be neutered, so we’d love him to go to a foster home who would like to adopt him after his surgery. Chester is too young to be neutered yet so he must go to a foster home until he can come back to the shelter for their surgery. We are planning on booking his neuter surgery for the end of October so he will be on foster until then. We are particularly looking for families to foster with the intention of adopting Chester after his surgery; we call this process ‘fostering-to-adopt’.

Jimmy & Choo

€100adoption fee

two bananas babies looking for a fun-filled home! These two little loonies are Jimmy and Choo. They were found dumped in a shoebox down the country and thankfully someone spotted them and rescued them. Our inspectors brought them to our Dublin centre so they could start their recovery. We assume Jimmy and Choo are siblings as they are very close. They were treated for mites and microchipped when they arrived and have settled really well. Like most young ferrets, they can play bite quite a bit but this is behaviour that should settle over time; because of this, we recommend Jimmy and Choo go to homes with experienced ferret keepers who won’t mind the occasional nip! Jimmy and Choo are really coming out of their shell and absolutely love exploring every inch of their enclosure and snoozing in their cuddly bed. We’re sure with the right home they’ll be the nicest pair around! We are looking for foster homes for these ferrets with homes intending to adopt them once they’re old enough. We call this process ‘foster-to-adopt’. We are doing this because these ferrets are too young to receive their contraceptive implant, so we are looking for foster homes for them until they are 6 months old. They will then come back to us to get their implant and can then be officially adopted by their foster families. Ferrets are highly social, active animals and benefit hugely from another ferret friend and/or someone who is home a lot of the time to interact with them. They need to live inside with a multi-storey enclosure where they can climb, sleep and go to the toilet. We are happy to recommend enclosures or any advice on husbandry by email: smallanimals@nspca.ie

Bunny Blanco

€100adoption fee

a big boy with big love to give :) Bunny Blanco is a 1-2 year old New Zealand White cross male who came into the NSPCA through our inspectors after being found with other rabbits living in awful conditions. He was quite nervous when he first arrived but he’s been thriving ever since and has been so good here. He absolutely loves his food and will be easily won over by treats! Bunny Blanco could happily live with a spayed female rabbit or as the only bun once he has space to hop around and interact with his family. Once he has a comfy bed to lie down for cuddles in the evening he’ll be a very happy bun! Thank you for choosing to adopt a rabbit from the NSPCA.

Patty & Rachel

€100adoption fee

a mother and daughter duo looking for love Patty and Rachel are two girlies who came into the shelter together with Patty’s other babies. They were no more than 2 weeks old, and Patty had 5 of them! Even though this time was stressful and she had been living in bad conditions, Patty gave her babies everything and has been an excellent mother. Her babies have been thriving since coming in to us. She was always closest to Rachel so we decided to keep them together to find a forever home who would love the two of them equally. Patty has now been spayed but Rachel is not old enough yet, but she will be spayed very soon. Racehl is too young to be neutered yet so she must go to a foster home until she can come back to the shelter for her surgery.

Peanut & Butter

£20adoption fee

Look at that hair!! Meet Peanut and Butter! Getting photos of them was like getting a picture of lightening; they are too fast! Peanut is the older of the pair, and also Butter’s father. You can tell who Peanut is by his lovely long hair! Butter is the smaller tri-coloured piggy. Both these guys have only recently arrived into our care as of the time I’m writing this. But they’re settling in very well! They get VERY noisy when it comes to vegetable time. They basically squeak the entire unit down from their excitement! Peanut and Butter will have to come home together. If you’d be interested in adopting this lovely pair, then please put in an online application form down below!<3.

Zola & Blue

£45adoption fee

ZOLA AND BLIUE!<3 Normally they aren't as tufty looking, but currently they're going through a MASSIVE molt!! But this is Zola and Blue. Zola is the brownish grey lop, and Blue is the white and fawn lop. There is a notable size difference between the pair of them, Zola is a lot larger than Blue! Both Zola and Blue are so sweet and affectionate; they've not got a bad bone in their body. I find that Blue is the most confident out of the pair of them, but Zola is still extremely confident too! Other than finding the odd tumble weed of fur rolling around due to their current molt, they're super clean! They take a lot of pride in always toileting in their hay tray. Since Zola and Blue are a bonded pair, they will have to go home together. These two would make the perfect little house rabbits. If you'd be interested in adopting them, then please put in an online application down below!<3.

We were told that Coco was the shyer of the pair, but he is a pretty confident boy! Coco will have his nose in everything and anything he can get to. He is a super curious boy! I’m sure in no time he’ll be running over to humans for attention! Since Coco is a single bunny, we’ll be looking to get him a friend. If you’ve got a single rabbit at home, then please put in an online application down below<3.

Such pretty colours!! Meet Biscuit! The second Biscuit arrived into our care, I knew he was gonna be a rascal (in the best possible way). Biscuit will stick his nose in everything and anything he can get to; nothing is safe! Biscuit would be a very outgoing little rabbit. As soon as he sees us going into his run, he is running over to us like a whippet! Biscuit is a little larger than he should be for his breed and size; he’s got a bit of a belly. But he’ll be back in proper bunny shape in no time! If you’ve got a rabbit at home little for a friend, then please put in an online application form down below<3.
