We accept Domestic Bunnies and Guinea Pigs of all breeds and types. 

Starting January 2024 we are accepting other small pets into our foster program including Chinchillas, Hamsters, Sugar Gliders, Degus, Gerbils and Hedgehogs. We will also consider rats, mice and ferrets on a case by case basis. 

About Our Community Adoption Program

  • Our Community Program connects adoptable surrendered and abandoned bunnies and guinea pigs with loving forever homes!
  • Our foster fuzzies are completely separate from our Bunny Nursery. For health and safety none of the bunnies or Guinea Pigs are comingled. The only exception for this would be if a family wants to adopt and bond a bunny (or Guinea Pigs) from both our Foster Program and our Bunny Nursery. Yes you can bond a bunny and a guinea pig. We will selectively and individually bond companions in a 3rd space. You can ask us for recommendation on this also.
  • There is no fee to surrender to us. Our goal is to be accessible to the entire community in need of help without a financial paywall. After listening to and meeting all types of families over the years we strongly believe in this. 
  • ​Each fuzzy bean that is accepted into the program goes through pre-adoption health and social/emotional assessments, preventative internal and external parasite treatments, a full groom that includes nail trim, teeth trim (if applicable) and other care as they need.
  • We create an adoption plan for each adoptable and it's catered to their individual needs. Families who adopt agree to their adoption plan. Adoption plans often include things like needed lifelong medical treatment, mandatory spay/neuter, free roaming only, dietary needs and similar.
  • ​Each bunny will also go through litterbox training if not already established. 
  • Guinea Pigs have different litterbox habits but we do introduce and work on good potty habits with them.
  • Fuzzies that are part of our Community Adoption Program are available to Indoor Only Pet Homes and have a lifelong no breeding contract.
  • You can find our current adoptable Foster Bunnies on the Adoptable Foster Bunny page.
  • You can find our current adoptable Foster Guinea Pigs on the Adoptable Foster Guinea Pig page.
  • Detailed information about each fuzzy adoptable is listed on their individual pages. 
  • ​Our program space is limited due to the high level of care we give each foster. We make considerations on a case by case basis. Please ask. Please reach out!
  • Anyone can surrender to us for any reason. Our goal is to education and support.
  • We offer lifetime support for all of our adoptions. 
  • All of the animals listed here are in our care and located in Beaverton, Oregon unless otherwise noted on their page. Sometimes families can keep their pets until they are placed.
  • We are now accepting Foster Parent Applications - So if you are interested in becoming a Shady Grove Foster Parent please fill out an application.
  • We do have transport and shipping services available. Check out those respective pages. 
  • If you have questions, please reach out to us.
  • Adoptions are on a first come first served basis. You can reserve an available foster at any point. 
  • We offer extensive information on our website to get you started on basic care. 
  • Any supplies donated will be offered to their adoptive family, donated to the Foster Program or donated to another person in need.

Meet & Greets!

We offer in person and virtual meet and greets for all our fosters.
