Need to find a home for your bunny? |
Because GRR is not a shelter, we are not of unlimited space. Our neglected and abandoned rabbits are place with loving families in foster homes. Currently, all our foster homes are full. Here is some information on Finding a New Home for your Rabbit. In the meantime it is important to note:
- Never give your bunny away to a stranger or sell it for less than $20. You may unknowingly set your bun up to be snake food.
- Are you getting rid of your bunny due to behavior problems? If bunny has not been spayed/neutered, that might be your only problem.
- Don't think that a move will traumatize your bun. Bunnies feel loss much the same as we do and it would hurt your beloved pet more to be left behind, than jostled a bit in a pet carrier.
- Never let your bunny lose in the wild. It does not make him "free." It makes him food.

If you cannot afford the cost of spaying or neutering your pet bunny, GRR may be able to help. Through its new B.U.N.S. program and a generous discount from Haile Plantation Animal Clinic those who apply might receive substantial assistance. Please email us for more information and an application and don't forget to support the kind businesses that support GRR!

Did you know....
Because rabbits are prey animals, they avoid showing any sign of illness until they can do so no longer? Please watch your bunny for these signs that a visit to the vet is necessary:
-
Head tilt
-
Diarrhea
-
Irregular (small or nonexistent) fecal pellets
-
Absence of appetite
-
Lethargy
-
Runny nose or eyes
|
Gainesville Rabbit Rescue in no way supports the breeding of any animal while others suffer and die needlessly. Even a one-time breeding at home serves to add to over-population and prevents a homeless bunny from finding its way into a safe and loving home and may very well lead another bunny into being euthanized in a shelter. Please remember this before you purchase a rabbit or any animal at a pet store or from a breeder and make adoption your first option.
|
Ask yourself before considering adopting a pet rabbit: |
-
Are you willing to care for another living thing for a length of time that can extend over 12 years?
-
Is this rabbit for a child? Are you willing to take care of her when the child loses interest?
-
Will you keep your rabbit as a member of your family, no matter how your circumstances change?
-
Will you accept your rabbit as a rabbit and understand its temperament is unlike that of a cat or dog?
-
Are you willing to provide an appropriate and safe living environment for the rabbit in your home?
-
Do you have the financial capability to afford "exotic" animal veterinary costs?
-
Will your other pets and those you plan for the future get along with your rabbit?
