"Gracie is 8 years old. She came to the shelter after her owner committed suicide."

I feel so bad for her :(

I have the room and resources, and would hate for her to spend her last days/years at the shelter.


 
Oh no, that is so sad!
If you can afford her and give her the space she needs, then go for it!
She doesn't deserve to love her remainder of her life in a shelter.

It would be a very kind thing to do :)
 
Aww, That's awful.....

She certainly is a cute one, I say why not? :biggrin2:
 
She doesn't look a day over 5 years. :biggrin2:

How is the situation at the shelter? Would she sit at the shelter while other bunnies get adopted or will she be the first to go? Ask the shelter if you can get a special rate for an olderrabbit.

I would love to get another bunny, but my wife says... no. :(

At this time, there are only two bunnies listed for adoption at the shelter.
It's not the best place for a bun to be, though.
It'sa small room with stacked compartments :(

This is the same shelter that I adopted S'more (and her baby MooShu).
I think S'more would definitely approve that Gracie come to our home.
S'more's passing is what leaves an open space in our home, too.

The adoption rate for buns is $35, and I'd gladly pay that to give Gracie a forever home.

MrsD is the one who sent me the notice that Gracie is up for adoption.
 
RUN - do not walk - and go get her.

It sounds like maybe you both need each other...
 
My rescue just took in 14 rabbits from that shelter. The other rescue had already taken in 13. For whatever reason the Bergen shelter receives alot of rabbits whether as strays or owner surrender.
 
I hope you can get her. I really do. I know it must be a hard decision...but think of the joy you will give her. :,(

I was wondering what happened to all of the bunnies they had. :?

Last time I checked Petfinder, they had quite a few .... and now they only have 2 listed for adoption.

Not sure why there's so many ending up there, though. So sad.
 
*Gets a search warrant to see if Jim snuck her into the house*

Soooooooooooooo? :pWill you get her? Do you think she could bond with anyone? (Sorry, I don't remember your bunny situation)
 
No..... I haven't got her.

The shelter does adoptions between 1pm - 4:30pm daily.
I work until 5pm.
They are open Thursday evenings for adoptions from 5pm - 7pm, so that's probably the soonest I'd be able to do anything.

The decision is still pending, but we're leaning toward bringing her home.
 
Great news, let us know what you decided!

ANd if you decided yes..well then I expect TONS of pics! ;)

Ditto. ^ :)

Can you put her on hold? Would they possibly make an exception to do the paperwork (or screening) online, via phone, and you pick her up in person at a designated not long after you are off work?
Seems for an 8 y.o. bun going to a devoted rabbit guardian home, a shelter could do that for Gracie.


Keeping my hopes high you can accept her, and she'll adore the love you have to give.

I love your vibes, Peg. :hearts
