Floppy Ear Rescue & Sanctuary

With a very heavy and broken heart, we had to help our eldest sanctuary resident cross the rainbow bridge today.

Asher was believed to have been 12 years old (she arrived to us at the age of 7 back in 2021) and could no longer stand on our own as of yesterday. While we tried to keep her comfortable as long as possible, she begin to develop various different ailments as she began to get older.

She was a true fighter, one of the strongest buns we've ever had the pleasure of loving and caring for. She never asked for much..

Our sanctuary will never be the same without her 💔

Hi friends, some very much needed updates:

Casper - our sweet boy has Osteosarcoma, we are currently deciding what path may be best for him, he's on pain meds and herbs. 😓

Our senior Guniea pig, Sherlock, has gained his wings on Saturday (yesterday), leaving behind Watson. 🌈

A sweet 7yr old ferret named Millie joined us August 19th and has been very loved by our family.

One of our senior sanctuary residents, Asher, whom we believe is approximately 12 years old is declining, finding it hard to remain standing/sitting comfortably without falling over and remaining in that position until assisted back up.. we are assessing her quality of life to ensure we do what is best for her.

We have discontinued taking in bunny and guinea pig surrenders until further notice, sadly the demand for surrenders is growing every day, to no end. However, our focus must be on our elderly, unwell and disabled critters.

Our sanctuary can very much use more young guniea pig food, pads and donations to go towards vet bills.

Thank you all for your support 🙏🏻

🐰 Help Casper Get the Answers He Needs ❤️

Our sweet boy Casper has been part of our family for several years, and anyone who knows him knows just how incredibly loving and gentle he is. He truly is one of the sweetest bunnies we’ve ever had. ❤️

Recently, Casper somehow twisted or dislocated his front left leg, and he is no longer able to use it. We took him to the vet, but unfortunately, they aren’t able to determine exactly what is wrong without further imaging.

We need to get X-rays done so we can find out what happened and, most importantly, figure out how we can help him. The X-rays alone are expected to cost $200+.

Because Casper is a small animal, he will need to be sedated for the X-rays so the veterinary team can safely position him and get clear images without causing him additional pain or stress. The sedation and monitoring are also part of the cost of the procedure, which is why the initial estimate is more than simply the cost of the X-rays themselves.

We know times are tough for so many people, and we completely understand if you aren't able to donate. But if you can spare even a few dollars, it would mean so much to us and to Casper. Every little bit will help us get him the care he needs. 🐰❤️

If you can't donate, sharing this post is just as appreciated and can help us reach someone who may be able to help.

Thank you for caring about our sweet Casper and for helping us give him the chance to get answers and hopefully get back to hopping around comfortably again. ❤️🐇

You can donate several different ways through our website.

It's bath day for our dragons 🐉
Mushu hydrated a bit during her bath then spent sometime outdoors to bask.
Toby wasn't too sure what a bath was and has a harder time with being handled, so after his bath we layed him out on his basking spot, where he feels most comfortable.

🌿 Exciting things are on the horizon! 🌿

As Floppy Ear Rescue & Sanctuary continues to grow, we're finding ourselves in need of more space to care for the animals who rely on us.

Many of you may not know that our rescue is currently run out of an insulated, air-conditioned room in our garage. It has served us well, but we've reached the point where we simply need more room to continue helping animals in need.

This expansion is especially important because many of the animals in our care aren't just passing through. Due to age, disabilities, chronic medical conditions, or special needs, some become permanent sanctuary residents and spend the rest of their lives with us. We are committed to giving them the safest, most comfortable home possible.

Our dream is to enclose our back patio, creating a larger, climate-controlled rescue space with plenty of windows for natural light. This additional room would allow us to improve the quality of life for our sanctuary animals while also giving us the ability to welcome more animals who have nowhere else to go.

Right now, we're looking for contractors who are willing to work with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Once we have estimates in hand, we'll begin fundraising to make this dream a reality.

Every square foot we add creates the opportunity to provide better care and, in many cases, another chance at life. Thank you for believing in our mission and for being part of this journey. 💚

If you have a recommended contractor to refer, please let us know.

Each year MyGivingCircle gives $2,500,000 in grants and donations
