Task Force
I am a volunteer at the Capital Area Humane Society in Hilliard, Ohio near Columbus where Humphrey lives. This shelter is a kill shelter. I am posting here because Humphrey and a couple other rabbits have me worried. Humphrey is a loving rabbit. He loves to play and will sit for hours while you pet him. He also loves to give love bites which is where the issue comes into play. I joke that he is a vampire bunny because he loves to give you these little love bites on the neck.
We think Humphrey's love bites started because of his situation at the humane society. Humphrey has a small cage. He can't even stretch out. With the litter box, food and water bowl, and box to hide in, he can barely lay down. He is a big guy. He is also on the floor of the cages where all the little hands can open his cage. There is no monitor or lock on his cage.
Humphrey had a rough start to his life. Here is a story written about him http://www.examiner.com/pet-rescue-in-columbus/meet-humphrey-the-columbus-pet-rescue-examiner-s-featured-pet-of-the-daywe have several other rabbits that came from this same situation that are still at the shelter. But Humphrey really worries me because if he gives someone besides a volunteer a love bite, he may be gone.
As someone who spends several days a week at the shelter with Humphrey I can tell you he is so sweet. He loves attention. He loves you to sit on the floor with him and pet him. He also loves food, especially banana's. He seems to get along well with other animals. He will go up to the other rabbits caged areas and is not aggressive at all. He has also played with one of the cats there and was just happy to have a friend. He isn't afraid of any of the dogs that go by. He will actually put his nose up to the cage to smell them. He has been there so long, he is just laid back about it all.
We have several volunteers that would love to find Humphrey a home. So even if you don't live in the Columbus area, we might be able to do some transport. You will also need to apply through the Capital Area Humane Society for approval to adopt him and pay the adoption fee. But if I knew he was going to a good home, I will pay the adoption fee. I just want him to find a home before he gives the wrong person a love bite, because then he will be gone. I am hoping I can find him a home.
