This is a desperate plea, we need your help. We are getting asked every day to help with rabbits that are in deplorable conditions, rabbits that are dumped and running loose outside, owned rabbits that are unable to stay with their owners due to moves, allergies, health concerns, financial struggles, divorce, job changes, children, etc. We want to help, no matter the circumstance, but we can’t. We need foster homes, we need responsible adopters, or we put ourselves at risk for complete burnout. Taking in all of these rabbits feels like the right thing to do, but ethically and responsibly, it’s not. It’s not ethical for us to take them and put them in smaller set ups than we want to. It’s not ethical for us to take some knowing they could be pregnant and give birth before their spay surgeries, which could result in needing fosters for the babies for 4-6 months. Most vets will not spay females until 6 months of age. Do you know someone who wants to foster a rabbit for 6 months? That is a very long commitment. Do you see all these rabbits that need help and think, ‘wow, someone needs to step up and do something!’ The truth is, Rachel and I were just regular people before we were a rescue. We were the people that said someone needed to do something, and so we did. We don’t have a fancy facility. We don’t get any funding from the state. We work full time jobs and run the rescue in our spare time, while helping to run other rescues outside of this. We both have our own animals, and we both have our own rabbits. It’s possible to have a rabbit and foster, it’s possible to arrange a space to foster if you have animals that have a prey drive. How do we know this? Because we both have had to do it. Our rescue started because we had plans of one day having a rescue that helped rabbits. Our “maybe in the future” dream got pushed on us sooner than we planned, when there were 7+ rabbits dumped on the road I moved to a year ago. We were just two people who said, someone has to help these rabbits. The local shelter didn’t take rabbits, so we fundraised on our own to fix them. We now have 80+ in care. Please donate & foster, we just had a mom give birth to 6 babies this morning who was supposed to be fixed next week.
