Tulip was recently adopted!
February is Adopt-A-Rescued-Rabbit Month and we have a few rabbits waiting for a wonderful home at our Dedham Adoption Center. Rabbits can make great pets for the right people, meaning someone who doesn’t mind a pet that they’ll spend just as much time observing as handling. If you’re someone who isn’t looking for a pet that will require your constant attention, then a rabbit might be a good choice for you. They are very smart and make excellent pets for city dwellers.
Michelle Chandler, Assistant Director of the Annual Fund at the League and mom to 3 year-old Scofield said that “one of the benefits of having a rabbit in the city is that they are great apartment pets. They are quiet, low maintenance and do not take up much space. Also they are trainable – my rabbit is litter box trained so he can spend hours outside of his crate exploring the apartment.” Michelle also notes that “before allowing your rabbit to have free reign do make sure apartment is bunny proof – they love to chew – on everything including electrical cords.”
Mocha
Mocha is one of several rabbits available for adoption at our Dedham Adoption center. She is a very sweet 1 year-old female Rhinelander mix. She was found as a stray and gave birth to 7 baby rabbits in the shelter! She was put in foster care while she nursed her babies and has been well socialized. She will be spayed before her adoption. If you are interested in adopting her please call the Dedham branch of the Animal Rescue League of Boston at (781) 326-0729 for more information or stop by the shelter to meet her!
Hans
Hans is currently the only rabbit at our Boston Adoption Center. He is a is a super sweet and friendly 1 year-old neutered male Dutch rabbit who was transferred to the League from another shelter. Stop by our Boston Adoption Center to meet him or give us a call at (617) 226-5602.
I have had 4 house rabbits in the past decade. Three have passed on. One died from an infection she caught from her litter mates. She was three years old. The other both had absessed teeth that could not be fixed. They both were mates, male and female, and died about six months apart. That was rough. I got a 10 pound male checkered giant named Xander and he and I went through a lot of rough patches together and spent a lot of time together and for a while it was just him and I while my now fiancee was working long hours. We had to move last June because of some bad problems at our last place and the apartment we are in now dosen’t allow pets so I had to give up up. But he is with a vet tec who works with my bff’s dad who is a vet. She has a couple of kids, a female rabbit, some other small animals, a dog, horses, lots of property, etc, so I know he is ok but I do miss him dearly and now I do still spend lots of time alone but it’s whatever but…I never knew that February was adopt a rescue rabbit month. That’s kool. Mocha there looks like Xander, except he was a checkered giant(at least I am pretty sure, the previous owners had no idea and I did some research and that is what I came up with so…) and he was black and white and his markings were quite like hers so now I am wondering. Mocha is beautiful. My little sister had a dutch rabbit she showed for a quite a few years when she was younger. I love bunnies and horses. Thanks for sharing this posts. :) xo
