The “Free” Rabbit

The little bunny left by the road with a “free” sign is now safely in our shelter. I have named her Melody. She is a lovely, Holland Lop, young and very pretty in a gold and black marked white coat with blue eyes. She appears in good health and is friendly though a little shy. Melody will be spayed on Wednesday and ready for a new home once she has recovered.

Sad Comment on Pet Ownership

"free" rabbit

Recently a house was purchased in West Vancouver. When the new owner moved in she saw a pile of unwanted things by the road with a “free” sign on it. Among the junk were two cages, one containing a hamster and the other this nice little lop-eared rabbit. It’s a sad state of affairs when pets are put out with the trash.

This little rabbit will be health checked, spayed or neutered and cared for until he or she finds a home.

Adoptions in 2010

So far in 2010 there have been 29 adoptions and 18 adoptions pending by VRRA. Adoptions pending are bunnies that have been taken home on a one month trial basis to see how the bunny works out in the new household setting. Most of these turn into actual adoptions. This doesn’t mean that there is spare room in the shelter as there are always new bunnies coming in to fill the space left by those being adopted.
