With so much frustration and tears..I must post that I must find a loving home for my rabbit Clyde over the course of the next 10 months. This is absolutely tearing me apart so bear with me as I try to explain why I need to find him a new home.
To start off with, I absolutely adore Clyde, and I have done everything I can to take wonderful care of him and make sure he has a happy life. However, I just got a summer job as a camp counselor and so I'm living at camp. Only for half the summer. I only have another whole week to go before my internship is over. I trusted the care of Clyde with my two younger twin brothers who are 14 and my Mother. I've been home twice now since going away to camp and both times I found him in horrible conditions. His cage was dirty and his litter boxes hadn't been changed. The first time I returned home, I figured it was because they were confused as to how to take care of him, so I reexplained it thoroughly and even typed it out for them word by word. The second time I returned home after 2 weeks of being gone, a litter box that was cleaned out right before I left hadn't been changed. It had gone 2 weeks without getting cleaned. And his cage was once again a horrendous mess. They obviously hadn't been taking care of him.
I will be graduating high school next year and I intend to go to College out of state. The College I plan to attend does not allow you to have pets of any sort and you must live on Campus for at least the first year. So bringing Clyde with me is out of the question. My Mother and Brothers assured me that if I went to College they would take care of Clyde for me while I was away...but this just proves that they can't care for him. So he must find a new home before I go to College. I intend to keep him for as long as I possibly can..I just want to get started trying to find him a good home beforehand. He deserves the best I can possibly give him.
I live in Pike County Ohio but I'm willing to travel anywhere that is a reasonable distance in Ohio and the surrounding states.
I hope no one minds me posting this early. I just know how difficult rabbits can be to rehome and I need to start searching as early as I can. So thanks for bearing with me through this troubling time..
