If you’re interested in adopting from us, please complete the form below, giving us as much detail as possible. As part of our adoption process, we’ll ask you to email over pictures of your set up.  Please note that guinea pigs should have accommodation measuring a minimum of 4ft x 2ft and the RWAF recommends a permanent enclosure size of at least 10ft x 6ft for rabbits. Bigger is always better though!

Adopting a rabbit or guinea pig is a big commitment but we aim to make the process as simple and friendly as possible. Please feel free to contact us at any point for more information and even just to have a chat.

You can view the animals available for adoption here.

    Our animals are kept mainly at two locations – one in Sunderland and one in Cockfield, Bishop Auckland.  We will try and be flexible with appointment days and times.

    If you wish to go ahead with adoption, we will ask you to fill in an Adoption Agreement so please give it a read through beforehand. We will also provide you with any other paperwork such as vaccination cards. All animals can be returned if it does not work out in the new home.
