Tiny Paws Rescue and Sanctuary is a small scale, privately run animal rescue. We predominantly handle pocket pets, such as mice, hamsters, degus, rabbits, guinea pigs or other small animals that happen to come into our care.

We work with the help of dedicated volunteers who clean cages, fill water bottles and socialize the available animals. They maintain our adoption displays in area Petco locations and help with donations and other adoption events that may take place.

We strive to create a better environment for the animals who reside in both our foster homes and our personal care. Animals are fed a balanced diet of high-quality ingredients, watered daily and their habitats are cleaned weekly or as needed for some of our more messy residents.

We currently work with Guardians for Animals and their Foster to Adopt program. This program enables potential adopters to have a 'trial' with the animal to see if it is suitable for their family. This also helps to reduce and, hopefully, eliminate the need to drop animals off at shelters, in the woods or on an unsuspecting neighbor.

We are often given the pleasure of handling pregnant animals due to improper gender difference in an animal. This can be a major problem for the average pet owner. If you are unsure of your pets gender, please contact a local veterinarian for assistance. This will help prevent unwanted pregnancies in unsuspecting pets.

If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Please print out a few Flyers and put them up at vet offices, pet stores, etc.

We now have Monogrammed Tiny Paws Products!! Please see the For Sale page for more information.

Thank you to all the people who stepped up to take in the rescue animals when I developed the allergy to them. We have our numbers under control now and things are moving smoothly. The rescue would not function without all the volunteers who open their hearts and homes to these little critters in need. Linda Oleszko

Featured Bunny:

Ripple

How could anyone resist that adorable and perfect bunny face?! Ripple is a cute little girl, weighing in at only 2 lbs. 7 ounces so far. She lets her foster Mom pick her up easily and enjoys being carried around like a baby! She is truly precious. Ripple seems very docile in nature, but not timid. When put in her cage, she immediately comes to the front to check out her surroundings -- she is absolutely loveable and will make the perfect pet for some lucky family!
