Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MERLIN (ID A036860) is an agouti-and-white, blue-eyed Dutch neutered male rabbit. He was transferred from the Orange County Animal Shelter in November 2016 as part of the shelter's A Rescue Mission program. He was one of several hundred rabbits brought into the OC shelter from a single residence. Although Merlin's a bit shy due to lack of handling, he's actually a very sweet bunny who loves getting pets and cuddles once he knows he can trust you. Merlin is a well-mannered rabbit with excellent litter box habits. He would be an awesome addition to an indoor home looking for an easygoing rabbit companion and a great bunny for a first-time owner!

STARTING THE ADOPTION PROCESS: You need to be 18 years or older, complete an application, and be interviewed. It is strongly recommended that all members of your household interact with the rabbit to make the best match for everyone, and that the rabbit you wish to adopt will be an indoor pet. You must be able to verify with your landlord that you may have a pet if you are renting. We reserve the right to deny the adoption of any pet for any reason. Also any additional requirements for the specific pet you are interested in adopting needs to be met. We adopt to the best home, not necessarily the first application turned in.
Applications are only accepted by FAX (949-366-4765), mail or in person. Sorry, no applications through the Internet. The adoption fee for rabbits is $45, which covers the following: spay/neuter, microchip, litter box training, copy of The House Rabbit Handbook, "New Owner" folder, bag of timothy hay and pellets, and one free basic health examination within 5 days of adoption from a veterinarian on our list.
Rabbits make excellent pets. They are intelligent, social animals capable of forming lifelong bonds with their human companions. Their playful antics will warm your heart for years to come. A well-cared-for house rabbit can enjoy a lifespan of seven to ten years or longer.
Please call 949-595-8899 to check if your desired pet is still available or the status of your application. Shelter Hours: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM. Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM. Sunday: Noon - 3:00 PM. We are CLOSED Mondays.
We are very proud of our shelter; it is clean, welcoming, freeway close, and was voted "Best Place to Adopt" by the Orange Coast Magazine!
