These are two young brothers who don't look much alike but they love each other and must be adopted together.  Hubby Buddy/Foster  is the bigger one with brown and white and Fuzzy Bug/Foster  is the one with black and white they are both about a year old and they love to eat and they have a lot of energy.  I usually recommend a child be at least 8 or 9 years old to help take care of the rabbits but I think they would be good with children who are 5 years or older. If you would like more information on these rabbits call Vanessa @ 240-672-8242 / email vanesshartman@yahoo.com
Felipe/Foster is an 11 month old (as of 11.17.11) New Zealand White looking for a home. He is very friendly and playful, healthy, and will be neutered soon.

Bridget/Foster is a 6 year old spayed female ferret being cared for in a foster home. Ferrets are nice pets to have. Ferrets are amusing to watch and quite playful and mischievous. Intelligent predictable with mellow temperaments. They will often times take things they see laying around the house and hide them. While roaming around your house they will climb into any tight spot they can fit themselves into. They do not make a whole lot of noise. Ferrets enjoy any attention their humans can give them. Take them out of their cage and let them explore your home and they will often get silly and start bouncing around. Ferrets like to play and should be provided with toys such as plastic tubes, cardboard boxes and balls connected to a string. If you would like to adopt this adorable ferret contact his foster Kathy @ ferretfoster@yahoo.com

Hi, my name is Lentil/Foster and I'm a 3 year old, female red eared slider! I am quite energetic and would like a very big tank to swim in. I don't get along well with other fish or turtles in my tank, so I'd best be kept by my lonesome. I might be perfect for you if you have an outdoor pond that is big enough for me to hibernate in through the winter and that I could have all to myself, or if you have the space to have a nice big tank for me to finish growing up in. I don't bite, and am pretty easy to take care of. I don't mind dogs or cats, and am patient with children, as long as no one is too loud or moves to fast! If you have any questions or are interested in adopting me, please email Patti @ pstakemehome@gmail.com

If you would like to add him to your family contact his foster Diane @ 301-520-3374/email Diane.Stalder@gmail.com for more information.
Indigo/Foster is a 2 year old female rabbit being cared for in a foster home. She is used to children and likes to be handled.

Frank/Foster is a young albino male dwarf rabbit. He is very lively and curious.
