Open your heart and/or home to our rescue rabbits and small animals
There are many ways you can help our rescue rabbits and small animals:
Adopt a Rescue Rabbit or Small Animal
Please adopt, don't shop!
A sad but mathematical fact is that for every animal we breed or buy, there is a pound animal that dies.
Deciding to adopt an animal entails a major commitment (10+ years for rabbits) and prior research is necessary to assess whether the animal, breed etc... are suited to your lifestyle, finances and availability.
Pounds and animal shelters are overflowing with perfectly adoptable animals (including purebred and juvenile) which have very often been purchased on impulse from a pet shop (or from a backyard breeder through an add in Gumtree or equivalent) without any prior research or adequate information from the seller about the care and commitment the animal requires.
Another category of prime pound candidates are animals offered as presents for Christmas, Easter, etc... on the spur of the moment, without adequate consideration, and often without having consulted the recipient or family.
Because of overpopulation in pounds, some of these animals find themselves on death row through no fault of their own or at risk of ending as dog bait or food and this is where rescues like Rescue Rabbit come in.
If you are considering adopting a recue rabbit or small animal, we recommend you read our rabbit care page before requesting an adoption application so that you can make an informed decision.
Adoption applications will be carefully considered to make sure potential homes are suitable and adopters best suited to our rescue animals' personality and needs.
Should you be a first time rabbit/small animal adopter, drop us an email and we will be more than happy to provide information and advice.
Once your application has been approved, there will be a meet and greet where you and your family come and meet the adoptable rescue rabbits and small animals.
