Looking for their forever home

Animals For Adoption

What we

ASK FROM YOU

Please make sure you’ve carefully researched the type of animal you’re considering adopting. 

We welcome questions so if you aren’t sure of anything please feel free to message us on Facebook by clicking on the button in the corner. Our team will answer you as quickly as possible.

Once you’re sure that you want to go ahead and adopt an animal you will need to:

  • Email us at team@greatfieldsmallanimalrescue.co.uk to let us know which animal you’d like to adopt (if the animal you’re interested in is still under assessment, or there’s a species you’re looking for that we don’t currently have available for adoption, let us know if you would like to go on the waiting list.
  • We will then contact you and ask you to provide pictures/videos of the housing you have along with information on its dimensions. Please be aware we may ask for adjustments to be made to ensure homes are suitable. We want our animals to go to homes where they’ll have the best life possible (see relevant animal care pages for approved housing sizes).
  • Once the housing has been approved we will get in touch to discuss further information about the animal you are interested in and arrange a home check if necessary.

What We Look For

Five Star Accommodation

We want to make sure each of our animals is going to a forever home where they’ll have enough space to enjoy their lives and be able to exhibit their natural behaviours. They also need space for enrichment to be provided and to be able to enjoy time outside of their accommodation. This could be in a secure predator proof run in the garden for rabbits or guinea pigs, a secure playroom for chinchillas and degus… a playpen for hamsters and other smaller furries.

Time & Attention

The animals in our rescue spend time with us, or our fosterers, daily, they are also provided with enrichment. You will need to continue this by giving your new furry friend plenty of attention and handle them where appropriate. Some animals enjoy being picked up, others prefer spending time exploring or engaging with an enrichment activity. It’s always a good idea to continue to get your pet used to being handled so they are comfortable with being checked over as a minimum. 

Company & Enrichment

Many species of small animals need the company of their own species, obviously some need to be housed on their own. Most of our animals do come in bonded pairs or groups, but if we have an animal that doesn’t have a friend yet we will be looking for a home where they can be bonded to another. Providing species appropriate enrichment is really important, such as: setting up foraging opportunities, creating mazes with tasty treats hidden in, puzzle games and feeders…
