Dennis Hopper's Info...
| Breed: | Dwarf Hotot Mix | Color: | White | Age: | Young |
| Size: | Standard | Sex: | Male | Hair: | Short |
Dennis Hopper came to our door in a box of pine shavings soaked in urine and starving (See above picture #3 of Dennis when we found him). Since finding him, Dennis has doubled his weight and has more energy than any rabbit we have fostered.
Dennis is a Hotot/Rhinelander mix. He's being trained to use his litter box. He leaps in the air at play time and can't wait to be held and pet. The holding is however short as he is quickly off to explore. He follows us around like a little puppy and is a very sweet boy. He is around 7 month old, neutered and ready for a family that will love him.
Dennis is being fostered in the Orlando area.
Rescue Group Info...
We are a nonprofit organization accepting into its protection any rabbit that has been mistreated or abandoned. The organization does not deny shelter because of disability or illness. All rabbits, after being nursed into optimum health by knowledgeable volunteers and—when necessary—local vets, are spayed and neutered before being placed up for adoption. GRR volunteers screen all adopting families to insure these rabbits will be placed in a secure and loving home.
Gainesville Rabbit Rescue, Inc. is not a shelter; it is solely reliant upon the efforts of its volunteers. The rabbits do not live in kennels, but in the loving homes of foster families who see to it that the rabbits are litter box trained, fed and well cared for, with expenses coming more often than not from their own pockets.
Domestic rabbits are less able to save themselves than other companion animals. Classified as both pets and livestock, they are farmed, experimented on, eaten, worn, made into lucky charms; and some are kept as companions. Unfortunately, like other companion animals, they are also discarded by irresponsible owners. Thousands of rabbits are euthanized at animal shelters each year.
Most of our rabbits are in the loving care of foster families, so meetings to view the rabbits can be scheduled by phone or email.
GRR is also found every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at the Petsmart located on Archer Road in Gainesville, FL.
An adoption application is required and GRR screens all adopting families prior to adoption approval.
Individual rabbits have an adoption fee of $55.00, and bonded pairs have a fee of $95.00.
GRR serves rabbits throughout Florida, with dedicated volunteers across Florida and Georgia.
