Small Animals

Thank you for choosing to adopt a small animal from the DPSCA. We have rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, reptiles, birds and others available at any one time. Please make sure to do your research on how to care for a small animal before considering adopting.

They require proper housing, bedding, food, enrichment, exercise and vet visits. Small animals are not just pets for young children to look after, all the family must be on board to look after and care for any new pet coming into the home. We have seen too many being abandoned so please make sure that you are in a position to look after them and provide them with everything they need.
