February Is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month
Rabbits are seen as furry, adorable animals that are just right for cuddling. Small enough to fit in an apartment, they can be litter-trained just like a cat, making them ideal for homes that do not have a lot of space. Just like dogs and cats, you can adopt a rabbit of your very own. Here's what you should know about Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month.
Supporting Rabbit Rescues Helps the Community
When you make the choice to adopt a rescued rabbit, you free up space at the animal shelter or rescue for another one. Many rabbits are given up by the owners either because they got too big, they were more work than the owners anticipated, or they did not have the resources to care for a rabbit. If shelters or rescues get too full, they might have to turn away rabbits that need new homes, so when you adopt, you are helping to create space.
You Can Find a Variety of Rabbits
Many shelters have different rabbits up for adoption. No matter if you want a lop-ear or a dwarf, with a little patience and searching for the right bunny, you can often find them at a shelter that offers rabbit adoptions. During Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month, consider going to your local shelter and, if you cannot adopt, volunteer, and offer to assist with rabbit adoptions. You can make a positive difference in the lives of both animals and people alike.
Instead of heading to a pet store the next time you want a rabbit, think about the benefits of adopting one from a local shelter. If you cannot adopt one yourself, consider helping as a volunteer, by donating, or assisting other pet parents with the adoption process. This can make a huge difference for pets and their people alike.
