gentle giants, and other midwesterners with space and hearts to open to needy bunnies, when you have space, just say the word and I can provide. Boy bunnies, girl bunnies, big bunnies, little bunnies, in-between bunnies, purebred bunnies, mixed breed bunnies, bunnies of every color of the rainbow. Yes, even speutered bunnies.
They're being sold at a flea market as babies for $5/ea, then dumped off at the nearest open intake shelter when they're no longer convenient. None has been older than two years of age. The no-kill shelters in the area are so maxed out that many of them will no longer accept phone calls if the word "rabbit" is mentioned. In my case, it almost doesn't matter as I've effectively run out of time and funds to transport them. (No, that's not an indirect request for donations - if you have some to give, please, send it to SRR, MRR, Catnap from the Heart, or one of the many other rescues who care for bunnies).
I lost count after getting 70 rabbits out of Chicago Ridge alone since mid-February. It's been quite a journey, and I've met some wonderful and some "interesting" people along the way. I'm still hoping to get a few more out here and there, but until more berths, whether rescue or permanent, open, I've hit a wall.
