All Creatures Rescue + Sanctuary

Bonnie is an 8-10 year old bunny looking for her forever home. She was surrendered to our rescue after years of service in a prison rehabilitation program -- when the program lost funding, she and her bunny buddies had nowhere to go.

She is an outgoing bunny who enjoys affection on her own terms, but only has intermediate litterbox skills, and is prone to digging and making messes when bored. She loves exploring and binkying! She needs a home which has experience providing care for elderly rabbits and which will be understanding of her limitations. For more information visit her Petfinder profile!

We focus on rescuing small exotic pets which have needs that often cannot be met by regular animal shelters. We also help with rehabilitating wildlife and placing other animals, such as livestock, by working with other rescue groups that specialize in those areas.

Our two adoption coordinators are based in Pittsboro, NC and Charlotte, NC; and we serve the entire NC Piedmont area. At this time we are no longer able to perfom out of state adoptions except in rare circumstances.

ACR&S' success is wholly dependent on our network of rescue groups, foster homes, and volunteers. If you would like to join us in any capacity please contact us.

ACR&S is also a sanctuary for unwanted animals to live out their days in peace and with love. Our current permanent residents include four guinea pigs, ten elderly or special-needs rabbits, two parakeets, and a cockatiel. To learn more about them you can visit our Sanctuary page.
