Oxbow Customer Pet Stories
Oliver's Story

I wanted to share the story of Oliver, our "store" pig. He just passed away at the age of between 7.5 and 8 years of age.  We have always had a special affection for cavies, ever since we opened in 1985. Always tried to help them find forever homes, been particular about who got them and would not hesitate to just refuse to let one go home if we did not think they were ready for a pig. Sometimes however, we were unsuccessful and they went to people that should not have pigs.

Buster's Story

Ten years ago, our gardeners found Buster wandering in the street. He was just a baby, but was well groomed with trimmed nails. We tried to find his original owner but were unable to do so. Thus, he joined our family and has been with us since that time.

Nugget's Story

When I show my affection for Nugget, she often raises her head to reciprocate by licking my nose and chin. It is a very touching, humbling experience that often brings me to tears.

Billy Burk's Story

There are no words to explain the wonderful joy that came into my life August 8, 1999. The one pound chinchilla, Billy and I quickly formed a bond and became a family. Billy was my gift and I was his.

Bunjie's Story

Bunjie left us on Saturday January 12, 2008, after a very full life. I know he would want to thank all his friends for many years of love. He was the start of my rabbit rescue efforts and he is responsible for saving many rabbits and for introducing us to the rewards of rescuing this precious animals.
