Perhaps you’ve seriously been considering adding a rabbit to your family or you already have a rabbit and are looking for her soulmate.
What better place to find your new bunny than at a Rabbit Rescue or Shelter! February is adopt a rabbit month so why not give a rabbit a second chance at a wonderful life! Rabbits are the 3rd most surrendered animals to shelters. As a result there are also too many rabbits being put down. Give a bunny a second chance by checking out your local humane society or rescue for your new friend.
This year is more crucial than ever to adopt instead of shop – shelters have already seen an influx in rabbit surrenders due to the ‘Year of the Rabbit’ craze and Easter is just around the corner. Many people love the novelty of a cute and cuddly looking rabbit, not realizing the care and time that comes with them.
Remember that a rabbit is a big responsibility – read our blog Bringing Home Bunny as well as Building Your Own Rabbit Condo for tips on proper housing, diet and care – and the decision to bring one in to your household should not be taken lightly. That being said, rabbits are quirky, sensitive and adorably sweet, making a wonderful companion!
And if you’re not ready to make the commitment but are still passionate about rabbits consider making a donation to a rescue or shelter in your area. Your money could help neuter or spay a rabbit in need, provide food and temporary housing or pay for any medical treatment a bunny is in need of.
Either way, you can feel good knowing you’re helping an animal in need!
