Petco Rabbit Adoption Event!

[Yield]

[align=center]So today, after taking Sabriel to the vet, we went into Petco (in Ann Arbor on Washtenaw Ave.).. of course I love to show off my babies, so I carried Sabriel in. I saw the groomers eyeing me so I went to go see them and they told me about an adoption event on the 13th to promote specifically rabbit adoption!

I am going to bring Silas in and provide information on rabbit care =]

I was thinking- what if I passed out papers with RO's link on it?

I emailed Brian from Great Lakes Rabbit Sanctuary about them bringing in adoptable rabbits and/or bringing in pamphlets and stuff and such as well. =]

This was completely fate!

This is so exciting, I love telling people everything I know about rabbits- so much so that I am not nervous AT ALL! I'm usually nervous about social events like this and stuff, but I am completely confident!

I'm glad you're going! Gainesville Rabbit Rescue will be at the Petco event on both February 12th and 13th in Daytona Beach. I hope we get lots of rabbit lovers show up.

I hope that all rabbit families can take their rabbits to their local Petco. This is a national event!

I can't figure out if my closest Petco is having this! We're still going to go anyways just to see because it would be interesting. And Petco is always fun to look around in anyways

You could always just give them a call and ask. I know it's a national event and I would imagine that all Petco's are participating.

[Perez28]

It's on the homepage of the website it's called the rabbit rally weekend def goin

 

[Myia09]

I am going to try to go...my friend and I were supposed to go but she has to work. I am going to try to go by myself!

 

[Byfuzzerabbit]

Baw I went and no one was there. The rabbit adoption group didn't show up at any of the petco's in my area. I got free stuff though : )

 

[Perez28]

Hey free stuff bonus hope that doesn't happen where I am goin I have been looking forward to it

 

[Myia09]

I went and I had a horrible time. I was the only person there, but some lady has the audacity to ask to adopt a rabbit. She then proceeded to tell me she breeds for MEAT. I have it on video, but the file is too large for tmobile to let me upload.

I am going to upload photos of our set up on my blog, Myia's Bunny Blog 2011

[align=center]I had a good time but there wasn't much "rabbit-based" stuff. Most people just wanted to see Silas- which we were lucky he was there cause no one would have come up at all if it wasn't for us. A few people took GLRS flyers.

There was also a dog adoption thing going on so there was lots of barking and most people were there for the dogs... Silas did VERY well. A couple dogs came up to him and he was curious and didn't care about the barking. He was really relaxed and loved the attention.

Myia- that girl sounds horrid. I would actually like to see the video- do you have a computer cord for your phone?

I'm going back tomorrow- hopefully we'll stay longer and get more people interested in RABBITS. Not dogs.

 

[Perez28]

Is it really an adoption event I called they just said it was people bringing there bunnies there o well I'm still goin

One person brought their bunny. Actually it was the store manager's rabbit. Nice Dutch mix that was rescued from an auction house. I brought my one foster Peter. He did all right until one of the cats scared him. After that he wanted no parts of being held or anything. He was okay, just a bit stressed.

One family picked up their new rabbit friend, ayoung lionhead/dwarf mix. There were at least two potential adopters wanting rabbits. It was a good day.

Also the store display finally arrived so we will be getting that set up this week. More exposure for the rescue.
