Bunny In Need

[krisykris]

Hi guys! Long story short, there is a rabbit in a really bad situation that I need to get him out of. Family members are no longer caring for him and it is not good.

I have my hands very full with my crew of puppies and am afraid to add another pet to the household, but I am going to be taking him temporarily, getting him neutered and vet checked and investing in a much larger home for him .

The rabbit rescues in NY I've contacted are not taking in owner surrenders at this time, and neither are the local humane societies.

I'm at a loss for what to do. I will NOT let this rabbit live the way he is living, but I also know my limits where pet ownership is concerned and I still have 2 puppies working on potty training as well as my other 2. Plus I am definitely allergic to rabbits so long term it will not work.

What should I do? Do any of you know anyone experienced with rabbits that live somewhere in NYS? I live near Buffalo and would be willing to drive a few hours to get this little bun to his forever home.

Any advice is so appreciated guys!

Try searching for rescues just outside of NY. Some rescues will help neighboring states. You could also try the House Rabbit Society, they are a national rabbit rescue. They might have some suggestions.

Thank you so much, I did try the house rabbit society and they aren't able to accept home surrenders at this time in the NY or PA division.

I also called most of the humane societies in NYS and none take small animals at this time as well.

I'm waiting to hear back from a private rescue that specifically deals with rabbits, so I hope that will have a good outcome!

Thank you so much!

Just wanted to let you guys know he has found a temporary home with a no kill humane society that is situated on a farm. They house a lot of small animals and are very successful with adoptions.

We will be taking him down this weekend, and donating to this great humane society. I am so lucky to have found them!
