Adoption is a great way to find the perfect companion. People who choose to look for a new family member at the Rabbit Haven are provided with counsel and support through the entire process before and after adoption. We want every adopter to have a great match in their newly adopted animal.
We appreciate those who make the wonderful decision to adopt a homeless rabbit. We love it when Haven animals find the perfect home.
Where do Haven pets come from?
Some animals are surrendered to us from families or individuals who can no longer care for them. Current severe economic challenges have forced many caring individuals to make heart-wrenching decisions about giving up a beloved pet. Many individual have also been forced to move after a job loss.
Some of our animals come in to us from community rescue. After we attempt to find the owner the animals is available for adoption. Sadly many animals are abandoned in parks on hiking trails or just on the street. Some rabbits may come from large confiscation sites. Each rabbit is carefully evaluated, receive medical care needed and then they are available for adopters. We love finding just the perfect home for each animal in our care. Many rabbits and other animals come into us through our local shelters. We have partnerships with many shelters.
Finally, some animals are surrendered to the Haven when their owner dies and there is no family to care for the pets left behind.
