Help Fund Our Small Animal Sanctuary in Silver Spring

We’re raising $50,000 to open a cozy sanctuary for herbivores such as rabbits, guinea pigs — a peaceful boarding option small pets have never had before.

Why This Small Animal Care Fundraiser Exists

Ensure Pet Care has been providing trusted drop-in visits for rabbits, guinea pigs, and other pets in Silver Spring for over a year. We’ve seen firsthand how few options exist for peaceful, professional rabbit boarding in Silver Spring — most facilities are loud, chaotic, and not designed for the needs of sensitive animals. That’s why we’ve launched this fundraiser for small animals in Silver Spring: to create a dedicated, legally-zoned sanctuary just for the tiny companions that traditional pet care often overlooks.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 for:

Lease and zoning approvals

Custom rabbit and guinea pig enclosures

Soft lighting, cage-free pens, calm music

Supplies and startup cushion

HVAC upgrades for temperature-sensitive animals

Why Small Animal Boarding in Silver Spring Needs to Change

Most boarding facilities were built for dogs and cats — not for the delicate needs of rabbits, guinea pigs, or exotic birds. In Silver Spring, there are almost no quiet, specialized boarding options for small pets. That means families are often forced to leave their pets with untrained sitters, or cancel travel plans entirely.

Our vision is to change that. This sanctuary will offer cage-free rabbit boarding in Silver Spring, with soothing lighting, quiet music, and individualized routines. We’re not just offering another service — we’re building the first truly small-pet-first space in the area.
