Mollywood Rocks!

I love Mollywood. They are a rescue dedicated to exotic birds. Most people do not realize how much time is needed to properly care for these amazing animals. They are so very intelligent, they really need a person who can give them plenty of time, attention, and challenging things to do. They help place those who can go to loving homes, but they also provide lifetime sanctuary to those birds who have been abused too much to return or thrive in a family enviroment.

Birds seem to be one of the forgotten animals when it comes to rescue. Gratefully they are not forgotten to those who love them!

Best Friends

Best Friends has got to be one of my favorite animal welfare organizations. They are one of the big ones too, and located right in my home state of Utah.

I would encourage you all to get involved with them in some way. They have a lovely website with inspirational stories of animals overcoming great odds. They helped with the Katrina pet rescue, and the great bunny rescue, just to name a few. They are also the ones behind No More Homeless Pets. Donate and you will recieve their magazine, which is full of great stories, news, and photos.

You can even visit the sanctuary in Angel Canyon and see the animals.

Ferrets!!

I used to have a pet ferret, so I can tell you from experience that they are a bundle of fun. They are full of personality, mischevious, and when they want to be snuggled they are good at that too. They are among many small animals that need to find good homes, it's not just cats and dogs you know! ;)

Ferret-Fact is a great organization dedicated to ferret rescue, and also long term care of ferrets. They also provide a lot of information to owners about how to care for ferrets. I was especially grateful to them for the help they provided me at the end of my ferret's life, he loved their gruel recipe!



If you are considering adding a ferret to your family, be sure to check rescues first. Also make sure they are legal in your town, in many cities owning a ferret is against the law.

Seriously Cute

Trixie and Peanut has some seriously cute stuff for your furry friend. Just look at these cute polo shirts:



I realize that not all dogs are hip to dressing up, but all pets deserve to be spoiled, and this site has a lot of fun products to help you do just that.

Happy Endings...

One of the best things to see are stories with happy endings for rescue animals. Zeeta, a chinese crested, has a happy story to tell. She found a happy home thanks to the hardworking folks at Hope's Haven. They are a rescue group that is dedicated to cresteds and other hairless breeds. Visit their site to see the dogs that still need forever homes.

Art with heart

Painting 4 Paws is a great way to get a pet portrait. The artist, Karen Derrico, donates a portion of the commission fee to animal welfare and rescue groups. She not only does commissioned work, but there are paintings up for "adoption" as well. I really like this one:



So if you are looking for a unique gift for an animal lover, or you just want a special way to remember your animal friend, take a look at Painting 4 Paws!

Bunnies Galore!

This is a shocker... 1000 bunnies and counting. All from the same backyard!



They are looking for homes that would be able to take in at least 10 bunnies. The buns are all used to living outside and would be outside pets. They are even willing to come and set up the area for you, making it really easy to adopt if you are able. I wish that we could!
