Muffin's Story...
Muffin and Jeffrey are an entertaining pair of rabbits who will keep you forever amused. This wonderful pair’s early life has not been easy. Muffin and Jeffrey’s first owner had them living in the back yard alone and were not part of the family. Their second owner kept them is a small cage and did not let them out very often. Even with these experiences Muffin and Jeffrey like and trust people. Muffin is a Standard Chinchilla breed who likes to be gently pet on both his head and body and Jeffrey is a Mini Lop who likes his body pet when he is relaxed. Although, they want to live inside in an x-pen so they are part of the family, they also like to lounge out and eat the grass in the backyard. Jeffrey and Muffin would like to have a bonded relation with a person or family. Are you the one that will give these rabbits the happy life they deserve?

About Our Rescue Group...
Our mission is to rescue guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and other small exotic mammals from shelters, places of abandonment, and from persons relinquishing their pets. Whenever possible, we offer a safe house to these animals, irrespective of age, temperament, or health status. These animals will receive veterinary care and socialization in the hopes that they will be placed in a "forever" home. Animals given Sanctuary Status will be placed in our Foster Care Network to live out their lives in comfort and with love. We are also focused on educating foster parents, school children and others on the care, feeding and prevention of unwanted litters of these animals.

Our Adoption Process...
1. Preview an available pet on our Available Animals page, at an adoption event or make arrangements to visit the main foster location to meet our available animals. Email Fenella, WeeCompanions@aol.com with any questions, to talk about the specifics of any animal or to ask for certain animals to be brought to an event.

2. Meet with an adoption volunteer who is trained to help make the best pet match for you and the pet. Each pet up for adoption has received behavioral and health assessments in order to help determine the best home for that pet. Volunteers will help you decide if the animal you are interested in is a good match for your lifestyle and will direct you to any pets that may be appropriate. If you are looking for a companion for an animal that you already have at home, please let us know and bring the animal with you so that we can check them over and begin introductions to make sure we find the best match for your situation.

3. Complete the adoption once you and our adoption volunteers agree that you've found a great match. We prefer that all members of the household (including other pets that will be interacting with the new animal) are present during the adoption process to ensure that the chosen pet is compatible with everyone. If they are unavailable, a "hold" may be placed on the pet for a short period in order for any family or other pets to come in and meet with us and the pet.

4. At the time of adoption, you will be asked to sign a contract stipulating:

1. You will not breed the animal.
2. The animal will receive veterinary care
3. The animal will be treated humanely
4. If you are unable to care for the animal for any reason, it is to be returned to Wee Companions.
The Adoption Contract is a binding legal document, you must be 18 years or older to sign.
Bring a carrier with you to safely transport your new family member home.

Fees:
Single Rabbit - $50.00
Bonded Pair of Rabbits - $75.00


We reserve the right to deny adoption to anyone.

We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...

Our funding comes from the generosity of supporters like you, we receive no government monies.

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Muffin, a Imperial Beach Chinchilla, Standard was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chinchilla, Standard for sale in Imperial Beach, or seeking a Chinchilla, Standard from a breeder in Imperial Beach.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Imperial Beach already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Imperial Beach breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chinchilla, Standard breeders who help with Chinchilla, Standard rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Imperial Beach paves the way for another one to be saved.
