Finding Home

Welcome to Harvest Home Sanctuary's Rescue & Adoption Bulletin Board for Unwanted Animals. We receive many public inquiries each week to provide sanctuary for animals in need. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a home for each and every animal. This online bulletin board is a resource for finding animals loving homes.

November 6th, I’ll be moving to Beijing, China.

Unfortunately, importing rabbits is illegal in the People’s Republic. That means I have to give up my two rabbits, Mortimer  and Emily. I adopted them from the Oakland Animal Shelter four years ago. They’re house rabbits, approximately five years old. They have never lived in a cage. (At least since leaving the shelter.)

They’re a bonded pair (need a home together!), spayed and neutered, litterbox-trained, full of binkys, happy with no health issues.

They are friendly, playful and inquisitive.  Like most rabbits, they are not cuddly with people.

If you can adopt them and give them the kind of home they’re accustomed to, I’d be deeply grateful.

Adopted! Elderly Chihuahua/Terrier yearns to find a stable, quiet home to enjoy his “Golden Years” (San Francisco, Calif.)



Marco is a 21-pound Chihuahua/Terrier mix that is in need of a forever home. He has been tossed around a lot in his life - to our knowledge he has been re-homed four times in his short life. Marco’s last person was planning on putting him to sleep because he no longer found Marco to be convenient. He is estimated to be between 12 to 13 years old, but he has the heart of a puppy. Enthusiastic would be a great word to describe him - he is enthusiastic about going on walks, playing, getting some lovin’ and his main love in life, EATING. For a dog that has lacked stability in his life, Marco listens well. He knows how to sit and to wait. He has no major behavioral issues but will need some training around new people coming into the home.

Marco’s foster team has taken care of his major medical needs: he has had his teeth cleaned, a benign cyst removed and is up to date on his shots. He has no major medical issues that we know of but as he is an older dog, we are looking for someone who has the means and willingness to address any medical needs that may show up in the future.

Marco needs and deserves a safe, secure, and permanent home to spend his last years. We would like to ensure that his next home is that forever home. He is a great little dog - you’ll love him!

Adopted! Kiki the Black Lab mourns the sudden loss of her mom, dreams of new home (Santa Cruz, Calif.)

Do you want a perfectly behaved, friendly, and healthy dog? Then Kiki’s your girl!

Kiki’s guardian died on suddenly on August 27th. Her guardian’s former family wants no part of her, despite the fact that she is beautiful, friendly, loving, playful and essentially the *perfect* dog. For adoption inquiries, call (831) 428-2500 or visit Kiki’s adoption page.

Name: Kiki
Age: 5-6 years
Breed: Black Labrador retriever
Temperament: Loving, sweet. Perfect w/ dogs, cats, and humans
Weight: Full figured
Activity level: Medium. Could be higher if lost weight.
Health: Up-to-date on shots, spayed, licensed.
Favorite things: Sitting next to you, tennis ball chasing, belly rubs, dog parks, walks.
Training: Does not run away, knows her name and how to sit.
Location: Santa Cruz, willing to travel!

If Kiki could talk, she would say this:

“Hi, I love you. I love everyone. Until a week ago, I was living with my momma and my brother, Shadow. Suddenly, they both left me, and now I’m sitting in our house with some roommates who put me outside a lot.

“We all used to go to the dog beach together all the time, and Shadow (my brother) and I would walk together on the same leash, we loved each other so much.

“I enjoy sleeping under the dining room table on my dog bed, but I also am really happy sitting outside. But I’m happiest wherever there is a person around. If there are no people, I’m happy to sit with a dog buddy. I don’t even chew shit up or crap on the floor when people leave me alone because I’m a good girl.

“I know I’ve let myself go in the last few years; my momma overfed me so now sometimes when I’m at the beach, the other dogs mistake me for an elephant seal. Then I start chasing the ball with them and they realize I’m one of them and we all laugh.

“I am kind of confused as to where everyone went, but I love the new lady who’s been coming over to walk me everyday that I like to pretend she’s my new momma. But she told me I can’t come home with her because apparently she has a bad dog who will bite me.

“I hope someone takes me home with them soon, because I heard the roommates talking about moving out, and that scares me because where will I go? The landlord wants all of my momma’s stuff (which includes me) gone in the next 3 weeks.”

Photos of Kiki are available here.

Adopted! Cuddle bunny kicked out of condo, looking for a forever home! (Castro Valley, Calif.)

This adorable bunny has been adopted, and found a great home!       

                            

This little dutch mix bunny was found hopping around in the yard of a condo complex in Castro Valley - when the security guard returned the bunny to his owner, she said she didn’t want him any more and let him loose outside again.

A good Samaritan neighbor caught the bunny and is looking for a new home for him, as soon as possible.  He’s very cuddly and will let you hold him for about an hour - most rabbits don’t really like to be held, so this little guy is clearly very special!  He’s a very gentle rabbit and would do well in a home with children or adults.

                        

The bunny does great with small dogs and cats.  He’s already litterbox trained.  He’s looking for a great indoor home!

                                         

57 RESCUED! 22+ Still need homes as of 10/16! Original: 114 adorable roosters need a miracle by September 7th (Santa Barbara, Calif.)

10/16 Update
From our friends at Animal Place:

“Fifty-seven roosters were pulled from their individual cages (where they would have remained for their lives) with the help of the amazing staff at Santa Barbara County Animal Services. We drove 50 to Horse Plus Humane Society - an 8 hour drive - where they will be rehomed or remain permanently, free to roam 60-acres. Two of the tiny roosters will remain at Animal Place, three are going to new homes, and we have two available for adoption! There are 22+ roosters remaining in need of permanent homes, so please help if you can!”

Jan E. Glick of Santa Barbara County Animal Services has a desperate plea to save the lives of a wonderful group of roosters:

“Santa Barbara County is seeking homes for 114 roosters that were seized for neglect in December of 2011.  The case is closed and we are able to place the birds.  There is a wide variety of roosters, none are fighting birds and they are handleable and social with people. We need to place the birds by September 7, 2012.  Our local efforts are exhausted at this point. I attach some photographs to give you a sampling of what we have.  There are a lot of lovely birds in our care currently. Please contact me at 805-681-5284 or Jan.Glick@sbcphd.org if you are able to help.  We appreciate anything you can do.”

Rory (formerly Zapata) the Rabbit is looking for a second chance after escaping euthanasia. (SF Bay Area, Calif.)

UPDATE 10/21/12: Rory (formerly “Zapata”) is in a foster home and still looking for his forever home.

Meet Rory — a gentle Flemish Giant saved from a local shelter just before his time was up. A kind volunteer took him in as a temporary emergency rescue, and now he’s ready for adoption.

Rory came to the shelter severely malnourished. He’d been kept in an area so confined that he could barely hop. After months of loving care, he now has a clean bill of health. He’s a handsome, strapping fellow with sleek black fur, and he has the gentle, sweet nature characteristic of his breed. He’s friendly and well socialized, and enjoys family life.

Our volunteer can no longer keep Rory, so he needs a permanent home. He’s in Fremont, but his foster family is willing to drive him to meet anyone in the Bay Area seriously interested in him. For more information, please email pollyamiller@yahoo.com.

Please read and share Zapata’s special plea for help:

“Hi, my name is Zapata and I am looking for my forever home…I am a sweet neutered 8 pound boy who loves to be petted, and play with willow toys! I was recently rescued from a local shelter who thought my teeth had problems so I was not adoptable. But my foster mom took me to a local esteemed rabbit vet who looked at my teeth and said they are growing in better and may only require occasional teeth trimming which is a very easy thing for a knowledgeable rabbit vet to do. I have a little arthritis in my rear left knee which only requires that I have a glucosamine supplement mixed in with my food. It doesn’t slow me down, I love jumping around and exploring. Other than that my vet said I am very healthy!  Some great things about me are that I am litter box trained, mellow and  friendly.  My adoption includes an enclosure, litter box, litter, pellets, hay, toys and a cardboard cottontail cottage for me to play in.  If you are interested in meeting me I can be reached at my foster mom’s  email: pollyamiller@yahoo.com.  Hope to meet you soon!”
