Interested in giving a rabbit a home!

[bunny77]

Hi-
I am interested in giving a rabbit a home! I am checking out our local humane society and house rabbit society, but have seen a couple rabbits on here I would love to give homes to, BUT they don't live in my state! Any suggestions on how I could get the bunny to me? Is that even a possibility? I live in Minnesota. Thanks for your help!

Good for you for checking into the tons of unwanted rabbits at shelters or through Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society. You may find a rehome needy rabbit on RO, and arranging transport logistics is not impossible.

Very sweet to meet friends that way via RO membership' community.

I hope you'll find a rabbit to adopt you, and he/she will be forever your companion or furry best buddy. Soulmate. A joy to treasure and spoil with your affection.

I estimate the local shelters in Minnesota or MCRS will have plenty of rabbits, as they get euthanized at shelters all the time.

My suggestion is to visit a shelter or rescue and beginning stroking a few bunny ears and noses. You'll be able to determine who latches onto your heart strings; whether mature or a youngen. They can chew and dig, and spray pre-sp/euter, so it helps to fall in love with the personality and face, when they are patience-trying! ;-)

Shelters and rescues also adopt already sp/eutered rabbits, which saves your pocketbook a bundle and you can invest that savings on amenities for his/her housing unit, etc. Maybe you'll want to purchase your companion a couple toys?

Haven't googled Blaine, MN, yet but wanted to pass along this activity in your state.
Maybe you already heard of happy hour?

MCRS (Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society) has a Happy Hour held periodically. An article was published by a dear friend (in our state's HRS newletter). She attended and was a guest at this festive rabbit party of playtime and socialization. Seems like a cool way to get introduced to other bunny parents and check out personalities of adoptable (or adopted) buns -- and grin and observe.

Sounds like a mini-vacation outing for anyone who can take in this jumbo play event, umm, from out-of-staters or in-staters.

PM those who have rehome-needy kids, so many need permanent loving homes.

For every shelter bun (or private or "national rescue" bun) that gets adopted, that frees up a space for the next unwanted rabbit. At high volume, limited number places, an innocent little or big face is just waiting for love ...:hug1:hearts

Petfinder is awesome for starting a search ~ {thanks Flash Gordon}

Our last rescue came to via two different people that drove her here in stages from Arizona. She even got neutered at her first stop.
