⚠️ Abandonment is Never the Answer ⚠️
These five domestic bunnies, only about 4 weeks old, were recently left outdoors to fend for themselves when their owners moved away. Tragically, the mother was struck and killed by a car, leaving these vulnerable babies alone in a world they weren't equipped for. If not for a thoughtful neighbor who witnessed the tragedy and rushed them to BGWCHS, these babies would have certainly perished from predators, weather, or starvation.
Abandoning ANY domestic animal outdoors or in a vacant home is illegal and incredibly dangerous. These acts of abandonment constitute animal cruelty under Kentucky state law and our local ordinances.
Our shelter is the safest place for an unwanted animal. We understand that life circumstances can change, and you may find yourself unable to care for a pet. We are here to help, not to judge. When you bring an animal to us, you are ensuring their safety, health, and the best chance at a loving future.
Please, if you know someone who needs to rehome a pet, or if you ever find yourself in that position, bring them to us. We will do everything in our power to ensure they find their happily ever after.
Join us in celebrating these five survivors and in spreading the word: There is always a safe place for pets at BGWCHS.
