We are currently absolutely full of ratties, so all of our ratties are featured this month! Right now we have 22 rats up for adoption! They range from very young boys and girls (8 weeks) to our lovely, big, kissy squishy boys George and Ringo who are about a year. All of our rats are very friendly and outgoing. Our trio of boys, Larry, Curly, and Moe are some of the friendliest, cuddliest boys you'll ever meet. They love to be kissed and held and will give you lots of kisses and cuddles in return :) We also have two special needs females, Dani and Marley who were born with handicapped rear legs. They will need special care, but they are well worth it with how much love they will give out in return :) Please email us at judges.park@yahoo.com if you are interested in adopting a pair or group of ratties!
Help needed!!
Judge's Park is in the process of applying for non-profit status. We need someone with experience to help us through this. So we are looking for donations of time and expertise to help us go through the lengthy process, ideally, a lawyer who wants to donate their time!! Please email if you are interested!!
Judge's Park New Services!
Along with small animal rescue (see below), Judge's Park now offers small animal boarding and grooming! Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Rats, and other small animals can stay here in a home environment the entire time that you are away! We can usually provide cages (but we prefer their own to make sure they are comfortable). Our home is quiet, and we have 5 years of small animal experience. We can give medications, shots, sub-q fluids, etc. daily if needed. I am certified in pet first aid by the red cross and always have two first aid kits and supplies on hand. Rates are $8 a day for rabbits (per cage: $10 a day for pairs), $5 a day (per cage) for Guinea pigs and rats, and $3 a day for hamsters and other small rodents. Food must be provided by you. If your animals eat Oxbow food, food is not required, but there will be an additional fee of $1 a day per animal.
Playtime (out of cage run around time) is available for small animals: $5 for one hour. Grooming is also available: Nail clipping - $10 (animals adopted from Judge's Park always get their nails cut for FREE), Bottom cleaning, brushing/mat removal, baths - $5-25 (depending on the amount of time needed to complete the job). Please call us at 724-272-0378 for further information and to make an appointment! For an additional fee for gas, pickup of your pet can be provided
We also provide local in your home pet sitting as well for any type of pet from fish to horses. We will come to your home to take care of your animal (near the New Castle, Youngstown area). Grooming services for dogs and cats are provided by us as well in the Grove CIty area (Country Club Kennels near the outlets). Please email or call for more information.
Our recommendations
We use Oxbow products, and we recommend them to our adopters: http://www.oxbowhay.com/ We recommend before you adopt that you research the animal you are adopting!!! For rabbits, go to www.rabbit.org. For guinea pigs, go to http://www.guineapigcages.com/ or http://www.guinealynx.info/ Please research the animal you want to adopt!!!! These are new family members that require you to know very specifically about their needs. Any questions you have about adoption or care can be sent to Judge's Park and we will try and answer any question you have!
News
Update:
Help needed!! I am posting up a wish list for Judge's Park for the winter, as there are some things we really need but cannot afford, and if anyone has any of these items laying around, please help out and give it to Judge's Park!!
Wish List:
Heavy duty vacuum cleaner (preferably a dyson pet hair vacuum)
Blankets (that is what lines the rabbit pens).
Large size cages (C and C is preferred; our guinea pig pairs are in at least a 4 foot by 2 foot cage. Our rabbits are in pens, dog sized, that are in any pet store.
chew toys for the small animals. (www.busybunny.com or www.bunnybytes.com)
Newspaper for the bottom of their cages (only the newsprint, not the colored ads). We also like cardboard, boxes preferably, with no dyes/glues/tape on them for the bunnies to play in and chew.
Veggies
Oxbow based foods, Timothy pellets for the adult rabbits, alfalfa pellets for the young rabbits, guinea pig timothy pellets, Oxbow rat food, Oxbow hamster food.
Timothy hay! Hay is a vital part of their everyday diet. We buy bales for $3.50, but we would like to find a steady supplier that we could get it for cheaper or free.
Gift certificates to any major pet store would be extremely helpful as well!
So if you can help out, email!!!
Judge's Park is official! Though small, we will grow large in time. As of now I just have small animals for adoption, but in the future I hope to progress to all animals. I sometimes accept guinea pigs, we ask for a $25.00 fee per guinea pig to cover expenses while here, and all guinea pig supplies with them (cage, bowl, water bottle). I sometimes accept rabbits (uneutered with a $60 fee (barely pays for a neuter of a rabbit and only covers 1/2 of the spays), and neutered with a $20 fee), plus all supplies I can complimentarily list guinea pigs or rabbits if you send me a digital picture on email and a description. WE DO NOT TAKE IN DOGS OR CATS, or anything larger than a rabbit. Please do not call about us taking in dogs or cats, we do not have the space or money for them.
Who We Are
I am a very small rescue, helping as many animals as I can. Currently I am working out of my home, but hopefully will someday move to a bigger facility and start adopting out dogs, cats, horses, and other assorted animals! The shelter is named after my soulhorse, a horse who inspired me to do what I do, and who died before we had nearly enough time together. This is for you Judge...
Adopting a friend
**“Please email if you are interested in adoption. We respond to all emails within 24 hours. If you have not heard from us within that space of time, email again at our main email judges.park@yahoo.com or our alternate email, Azeem0510@yahoo.com . If we still have not responded to emails, call, 724-272-0378. We may be having issues with our email account.**To adopt one of my animals, you must be fully screened and compatible with the animal you are interested in. I do not accept everyone to take animals!! If you are deemed able to adopt one of my animals, you will hear from me very quickly. If not, I apologize! A submitted application is not a guarantee that you will recieve the animal you are applying for. Judge's Park reserves the right to reject anyone, at any time in order to get the best home for the animal. Once approved, you must sign a contract indicating that if you cannot take care of the animal, it must be returned to me! All applicants must research the animal that they are involved with. I WILL NOT SHIP ANIMALS. It is dangerous and too stressfull for the animal. I will not adopt my animals out if the adopter is below the age of 12. Guinea pigs and rabbits are not suitable pets for small children!!! Guinea pigs should either be adopted in pairs, or be adopted into a home with another guinea pig. Adoption fees (suggested donations) are $20.00 for a single guinea pig, $35.00 for a pair. Rabbits adoption fees vary (see individual rabbit's page), and rats and hamsters are $10.
Come Visit Us!
