Issue

Rabbits are the third most popular pet and the third most abandoned ending up at shelter, abandoned on the streets or in parks where they may die of starvation or predation. Sadly, families purchase baby bunnies for Easter, birthdays, Christmas and give them to children as toys. These rabbits often and housed in dangerous outdoor cages and as soon as they are grown or the child loses interest, the dumping begins. It seems the people never intended to keep them. It’s heartbreaking for the rabbit who may find themselves without food water or shelter as they fend for their very lives in “the wild” on the streets, simply abandoned. Good Samaritans often pick up these little lost rabbits and take them to shelters or they call rescues like us.
