GUMDROP (ID# A020427) is a cute mixed dwarf rabbit, white with tan and gray markings. He arrived at the shelter in June 2011. Poor Gumdrop was a real mess when he came to us. He was covered with fleas and ticks and had two fly larvae embedded in his shoulder and cheek. He was so emaciated, you could feel every bone on his back, and he was stained from diarrhea as a result of an intestinal parasite infection. The miracles of veterinary medicine brought him back from the brink, and he's doing great now! Gumdrop has learned what hay and good veggies are and how wonderful life can be. He is a real sweetie - so happy to have a new lease on life! He is learning to use his litter box and will make a super addition to a loving home! Gumdrop is currently in a foster home due to space limitations at the shelter, so please contact us at info@petprojectfoundation.org or call 949-595-8899 if you'd like to arrange a meeting with him.

STARTING THE ADOPTION PROCESS: You need to be 18 years or older, complete an application
http://www.petprojectfoundation.org/small.pdf, 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 have 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!
