Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
I am MacDuff and MacBeth is my brother from another mother. We love to groom each other, sleep together and eat together. We’ve even been known to escape together when we’re on the hunt for some yummy food. Luckily, Friends for Life understands our love and is going to make sure we get to stay together forever.
Once we get to know and trust you, our personalities will blossom and you will see what truly amazing bunnies we are! While I'm on the topic of rabbits, I'd like to mention our bodies are more fragile than that of dog and cats, so we would be best suited for a home with adults. Teens are ok too, as long as they understand how to handle us safely. (If you've never held a bunny before, that's ok! Our boss can talk you through it!) While I'm laying out our preferences, we don't really fancy being held since we are prey animals -- but we enjoy it tremendously when humans join us on the floor to play with us and pet us. So much, you might even see us do zoomies and binkies when our hearts fill with joy!
Our love can easily be earned with bites of blueberries and bananas as we are highly food motivated. We are also smart enough to get our blueberries out of a foraging toy; that makes us think too. Of course, we cannot have all the fruit we want because that might cause us to develop health issues. Don’t be stingy with the Timothy hay and fresh greens; we love that too. And of course, we always need fresh water.
And, not to brag, but we’re pretty neat. Seriously. we are trained to use a litter box. We might leave a coco puff here or there accidentally, but those are easy to clean. We’re neutered. And get this – we are also self-cleaning. That means you don't -- actually SHOULD NOT -- bathe us. But you can watch as we lick our paws and groom our faces and ears. It's pretty adorable. Our health is important to us. In addition to a healthy diet, it's important we see the vet, just like other companion animals. If you're considering adopting us, we need to go to a specially trained exotics vet.
We would love to get settled in a forever home sooner than later. If you are interested in adopting us, please go to this link and fill out the online application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FFL/Rabbit
And last, but not least, there is only one adoption fee for both of us, $75.

FRIENDS FOR LIFE
The Don Sanders Adoption Center
107 E. 22nd Street
Houston, TX 77008
713-863-9835
HOURS:
11-4PM Wednesday - Monday
Closed Tuesday
We are currently located in the Historic Heights. Our shelter looks more like a gallery than a shelter! Incredible photography is displayed in our lobby. Care has been taken with every detail of the building. We are bringing in 100% outside fresh air and turning over the air in each space completely 15 times an hour. We have made certain that sunlight reaches every animal (and staff) workspace and even engaged a professional acoustician from the beginning to ensure that we manage the sound for everyone's comfort. We have cageless cat rooms with 19-foot ceilings and climbers everywhere to keep the kitties happy and healthy. We have a 'real life' dog living area set up for the dogs. Our shelter is unlike any you've ever experienced! You have to see it to believe it!
We need adoption counselors, docents and animal "smoochers" to keep everyone feeling loved. We also need, welcome and swoon over our foster parents!
Our volunteers and foster parents are like gold to us. Please consider joining this energetic and positive group! If you'd like to volunteer, please just email us below or drop by!
volunteermanager@adoptfriends4life.org
Come by and visit! Even if you are not adopting an animal, we have well-trained staff to answer pet related questions, a wealth of training, medical and behavioral information and a fun atmosphere to just drop in and get your fix of animal love!
As always, Friends For Life is a No Kill organization.

More about this shelter
WHO ARE WE?
We are located in Houston and are the only LEED-certified green No Kill animal shelter in Texas. We incorporated as a 501(c)3 no kill organization in 2002. Friends For Life was started with the purpose of providing the animals of Houston and surrounding areas with immediate alternatives to the killing and a long term plan to change the direction of the sheltering community to a more compassionate future. Our ranks are made up of veterinarians, architects, business people, lawyers, physicians and animal care specialists all passionately dedicated to ending the killing of homeless animals.
WHY DOES OUR ANIMAL COMMUNITY NEED FRIENDS FOR LIFE?
At 80,000 annually, Houston has the tragic distinction of being the city that kills the most animals in its shelters second only to San Antonio. Some of the reasons Houston shelters kill animals is that they are a certain breed (pit bulls, rottweilers, chow chows, etc.), weigh under 2 lbs, sneeze on intake, are over 7 years old, are missing some hair or are pit bull puppies. 75% of the animals we adopt into loving homes have been previously rejected by other organizations as 'unadoptable.'Friends For Life is taking meaningful steps toward reversing this tragic situation by redefining 'adoptable' every day and finding homes for animals who otherwise have no hope. At Friends For Life, EVERY ANIMAL MATTERS.
EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION PROGRAM
Limited only by space, we will accept any animal needing our assistance regardless of age, condition or breed. They include beautiful cats, dogs, puppies and kittens. All are fully vet-checked, tested and have received all age-appropriate vaccinations and spay/neuter surgery.
We have training consults and discounted training services available for all FFL animals.
HOW CAN YOU BE A PART OF CHANGING THE FUTURE?
1. Take a look at out website at www.nokill1.org and consider volunteering. Many of our volunteers have been with us for years and have traveled from as far away as Georgia and Indiana to volunteer for FFL projects. Trust us, it's a good gig!
Sign up online at www.nokill1.org/how-to-help/volunteer or just stop by and see us!
2. Adopt an FFL animal in need. The truth is, 'unadoptable' is what we make it. Every animal adopted from a no kill program sends a powerful message that this is the direction we want to see our shelters take. Every life has value. Together, we can chage everything!
