I highly recommend F5RS for your pocket pet and parrot adoption needs. I've had the pleasure of working with Sassy (director), who is very knowledgeable of the animals she cares for and her heart for providing these animals with a responsible and loving home is apparent. Sassy goes beyone the call of duty in caring for her animals and is a wonderful advocate and educator for her rescue!

I became involved with F5RS over two years ago when I began following their informational posts on Facebook. I began talking to the director and discovered how remarkable her work is. In a poor community, where unemployment is rampant, she runs an awesome rescue that is virtually self-supported. If she isn't working with the bunnies, she's out on a Bunnies in Baskets therapy bun visit, or teaching classes in rabbit care and clicker training for new and prospective bunny parents. She also does weekly flea market sales to raise money for medical expenses and care of her feathered or furred charges. She works this rescue literally 24/7 365. I have never known Sassy to turn away a bun or bird in need. She has taken in rescues from Virginia to Alabama, along with bunnies or other creatures in need of sanctuary because of health or behavioral issues. In short, she's an angel. I give her my hightest rating....and my deepest admiration.

I am the Lead Educator for Colorado House Rabbit Society and I have seen this rescue step up many times and help the general public with information about rabbits. They know what they are doing and have a great reputation. Really great Rescue.

I have turned to this rescue many many times for advice for my 9 rescue rabbits and every time they have been generous with their time and help and resources. I can't say enough good things about these wonderful caring knowledgeable people. They are angels to the animals in their care and the entire bunny community.

This lady is wonderful. Always willing to help out with all animals even those animals that were not her responsibility.
She gives great advise and knows her stuff when talking about rabbits. She helped me out with my sick rabbit, teeth trimming, questions and answers.
She is an EXPERT!!!! Thank you so much for caring for the best creatures and all you do!!! Elphaba Thropp

I would highly recommend Ffive Rescue. Every animal in Sassy's care is treated with love, respect and great care. I have seen Sassy in action and am in total awe of her, her knowledge and her interaction with each rescue.

I adopted 2 bunnies from Craigslist. Sassy has been wonderful in answering questions that have come up. I wish I had known about this rescue before I got my buns. Kudos to Sassy for her willingness to take on such a wonderful endevour. The bunnies are lucky to have someone that cares so much.

There are few who care as much for small animals as Sassy does. She is constantly tending to their needs, both physical and emotional. In a world where most people don't understand or have a desire to adequately care for their pets, F5RS is a reminder to me of how we ought to show compassion to these little creatures. I am very happy to support this organization, through its fundraising efforts, as they strive to provide safe, temporary and ultimately, permanent good homes for each of the animals in their charge.

I am proud to be a part of such a wonderful and caring rescue. where the needs of the rescue are put above anything else. This rescue operates with a very small staff, but manages to get so many things done. Sassy, the founder, is an amazing woman who gives everything (and then some) to the rescue. I know for a fact that she goes without so that the rescue can have what it needs. She puts the rescue and its needs before anything else in her life, and she manages to accomplish small miracles every day. She takes a personal interest in every furry, fuzzy or feathered soul to come to her. She finds it near impossible to turn away those truly in need. This rescue works hard not just to save lives by taking in abandoned and neglected animals, but they try very hard to get out into the community and educate people about the responsibility of having a pet and what that means. Sassy continues to learn as much as she can about how to make those in her care as happy and healthy as they can be. She also tries to spread that knowledge to anyone who has a need or interest. I have had a lot of experience with many rescues and I can honestly say that F5RS is the gold standard, and should be the example for many other rescues.

I'm proud to be able to say I'm a friend, volunteer and board member of F5RS. Daily, I see the wonderful work this rescue does for rabbits, birds, and small animals. Some of these creatures are unadoptable but will safely and happily live out their life in the sanctuary. Animals are spayed or neutered, trained and socialized before being adopted out which makes them a wonderful pet for a pre-approved family to take home. F5RS is active in the community including visits using their therapy bunny teams, providing various classes, education at different venues, fundraising and selling items through craft shows, flea markets, their online stores and their newly opened store in the rescue. F5RS has been able to help out in many emergency situations such as hording cases, helping families in crisis and taking in special needs animals other rescues could not provide for. F5RS has recently become a 501(c)3 and is always looking for volunteers, monetary donations, donations of supplies (including NEWSPAPERS) and donations of items that can be resold to raise money for the rescue.
