FAQ's About Other Pets
 Rabbits
The best site we've found for rabbits is The House Rabbit Society. It covers all aspects of rabbit behavior and care. We almost always have rabbits available for adoption at the shelter. They must be spayed or neutered before leaving the shelter.
 
Guinea Pigs
The Guinea Pig Compendium is a good place to start for information on cavies. Guinea pigs are often available for adoption, too.
 
Gerbil
The Gerbil Information Page is the English version of a gerbil site from the Netherlands.
 
Hamster
The Hamster Society provides breed descriptions. Hamster Land has more information.
 
Ferret
Keeping a pet ferret in New Jersey requires a permit from the Department of Fish, Game and Wildlife. Information and applications are available when adopting a ferret from the shelter. NetVet Ferrets provides links to numerous ferret sites.

We occasionally have other animals for adoption, most commonly pot-bellied pigs, chickens and roosters, mice and rats, iguanas, turtles, canaries, cockatiels and parakeets.
