Maggie Maesouthern utah adoptable pets Maggie May

Maggie Mae was born in 2008 and came from a hoarding situation in Nevada. Like all bunnies, she likes to dig, get into things, and run around. Most rabbits do best with a buddy. Our rabbits are no different and the majority of them are deeply bonded with one or two other rabbits. We do require that bonded pairs are adopted together. If you find a rabbit you are interested in adopting we will be happy to tell you whether or not they have a partner. You can contact Best Friends at rabbits@bestfriends.org for more information.

Augustussouthern utah adoptable pets Augustus

Augustus, born in 2015, is a curious, friendly Alpine mix from southern Utah. He likes attention of all kinds, especially being brushed, as well as eating yummy timothy pellets and being with other goats. He’ll call out to his friends in the goat barn if he hasn’t seen them in a couple minutes, just to make sure they’re okay. Mostly black with a little bit of white, Augustus had a bumpy beginning, so he needs a family who has lots of time to spend loving and cherishing him.

Raineysouthern utah adoptable pets Rainey

Rainey is looking for someone who will stay with her and keep her safe. She was abandoned at a vet clinic in Wyoming after she’d just had puppies and then came to Best Friends from a rescue organization there. Rainey really wants love and affection. She likes to go on walks and to dog parks, though she gets along much better with male dogs than other females. She is a hound who likes to bay and may try to escape if left alone too long. It seems that Rainey just needs a little assurance that someone will love her and want to keep her forever. She was born in 2009 and still has plenty of love to share.

Lincolnsouthern utah adoptable pets Lincolnc

Lincoln is a happy, engaging boy believed to be a Great Dane/pittie blend about 2 years old and weighing about 60 lbs. Lincoln was adopted as a puppy and enjoyed a wonderful life with his buddy, Tonka. However, when Tonka unexpectedly and rapidly died of cancer, Lincoln was lonely, and his mom was not ready to adopt a friend for Lincoln, so now Lincoln is available for his new forever home! He’s great with people but since he’s a bit rambunctious, he would do best with older children, and he loves other dogs. He is very playful and food motivated to continue his training (although he already knows how to sit) and enjoys his walks. He would do best in a home with another dog, preferably large, since he doesn’t handle being alone well. To see Lincoln, call Aggie (435) 773-1667 or Sue at (801) 554-3378. His adoption fee is $125.
