two flemish sister need help in Peoria IL.
This is the email I got. I have no room at the time for them.
I wanted to contact you all because there are 2 female Flemish Giant rabbits at the Peoria Animal Welfare Shelter who need placement desperately; they are bonded sisters, one is spayed but the other is not yet. Both are friendly and they appear to have been well cared for. They last saw a vet in March 08. The info says they are litter box trained but the shelter did not provide them a litter box so they are just going on the papers right now. I do not know their age or names (they are calling them Big Bunny and Little Bunny because one is a bit larger). The owner surrendered them because she was moving to a place that did not allow pets ( 4 rabbits in all came in). The shelter does not have adequate housing for them..they are in a 3X3 concrete, very isolated dog kennel right now together and have been there since 12/15. If you have anyone interested in fostering or adopting them, please let me know and we can coordinate the transfer. I am good friends with Kathy Forst, whom some of you know, and she may be able to help transport them. I have done bird rescue myself, but have slowly been getting more involved with rabbit rescue since adopting my mini lop a year and a half ago.
Please forward this to anyone who might be able to help get them out of PAWS, which is not a "no-kill"shelter, and has about a 75-80% euthanasia rate for small animals such as rabbits. They already put one of the other 2 bunnies from this same home down because it was "not nice". These two will be euthanized eventually, but I don't know when. The shelter contacted me to try to help place them. I cannot take them myself because of some recent respiratory problems which prevents me from bringing any more animals in until I know if my breathing is going to be ok.
Thanks for any leads or assistance in this... there are also 3 other bunnies at PAWS right now including a precious spayed female Netherland dwarf that was a housemate with these two.
I have a picture as well they are both tan in color. Let me know if you can help and want the contact info.
