Well 4 months ago we got a surrender of 2 large black rabbits at our shelter. They had lived indoors but are pooly socialized particularly in the area of handling. We have used towels to pick them but inevitably they are squirmers ..particularly the male; they would do well in any homeof a very experienced adolescent or adult who knows rabbits well.
They are about 10 lbs each and would not do well caged because of their size but would do well if an xpen was attached to a cage or even if they had xpens as homes ( like mine live)
They do not bite at all ,however, so could be in a home with kids as long as the kids were not attempting to pick them up. They also love to be petted so that is also a plus.
They are also spayed and neutered.
They were named by children and because of this have ended up with the crazy names of Bunny Boop and Hunny Bunny. I actually do not think this has helped them in terms of being adoptable.
They have been at Petco for several months and yesterday the manager asked us to take them back to the shelter as there has been NO Interest in them at all. While they were at the shelter absolutelyNOONE was interested in them.
Why ?
Well I am going to be honest; they actually are large and plain and black and not cutesy whatsoever;they just need someone who just loves rabbits and wants to give them a chance at a life.
Right now Wi shelter are overflowing from a big confiscation and although we almost never euthanize rabbits anymore.I cannot see these 2 having more than several more months at the shelter.
They are not bonded so can be adopted separately
Unless you are a rescue any individual who would want to adopt them would need to go through the routine adoption process. This means that the shelter checks vet records of all current pets and also checks to see if dogs and cats in the home are current on distemper and rabies andalso licensed .The shelter overall just checks everything to make sure that they are adopting the animal to a really good home.
The fee for these rabbits is $50.00 each but I believe ( I know) that with a good approved application that we can negoitate that price down a whole lot to almost nil
The kennels operation manager would really like to see them get good home.
Can you open your heart to a a big black bunny or 2 that is not getting a fair shake.?
Anyone interested please pm me pm me (angieluv)
if you want more pics let me know and I will get more
Thanks
