I think they just do that to make sure that they can. My first bunny was from a rescue that said they did that--they never did, never called, etc. I moved and re-contacted them later to let them know how Tony is doing. Another rescue we got Ben from is in Indiana, and obviously they aren't going to do a home visit. The fact that we were willing to travel that far was enough info for them to know we were giving him a good home, plus I also send pics from time to time. I think they put that in there in case they aren't too confident that you have a good environment (at the shelter, if that's the case, we just don't adopt usually), and that if they hear bad things in the future about the bunny, they can come by and check them out before getting animal control officers involved. Honestly, unless you say you might house him outside, you have a big dog that likes to chomp wild rabbits, you sound like you don't know what you're doing OR you change your story--this is important because each person you speak to will write down what they talked to you about--a lot of times we have people say to one volunteer that they want to house the rabbit outside, and then the volunteer says we don't adopt to people who will house it outside, they'll talk to a different volunteer and say absolutely we're going to keep it inside, so they're just changing the story to what they know you want to hear--that's bad.
