Dolly & Friends Small Animal Sanctuary, Inc.

Animal rescue in Fairfield, PA

At Dolly & Friends, we are passionate about the well-being of the small animals in our community. We provide the highest quality foster/adoption, sanctuary, education, and temporary boarding services for our small furry friends.

We aim to find loving homes for all small mammals in our facility and community, and in the process educate the public on proper rabbit and guinea pig care through free events and teachings. We advocate for indoor living, desexing of the animals, and adequate enclosure spaces so the rabbits we adopt out will have the same V.I.P. treatment as they did with us. Dolly & Friends also works closely with our local humane societies and SPCA’s to handle their intakes for small animals so they can focus on the dogs and cats that are in need of homes. We love supporting our local animal non-profits!

Additional adoption info

We vet check our potential adopters and give an extensive questionnaire as part of the application. We deny adoptions for any reason including previous history with animal abuse, no vet record for current pets, not planning to spay/neuter when of age, etc. We also provide education to the adopters who are unsure about rabbit care, handling, or diet and provide support even after the rabbit is rehomed. The adopters are required to have a 2 week foster period to ensure that the rabbit will work out for the family and the adoption contract states that the animals must be returned to our facility in the event of needing to rehome in the future. We also schedule the spay/neuter with the adopter before taking home the animal.
