My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Belden is a gentle and curious girl who would love a bunny friend to spend her days with.

She was found as a stray and it took her rescuers 4 hours to finally catch her. She was having too much fun gallivanting with the cottontails! She has settled into the spoiled house bunny life well though and she is more than ready to hop into her forever home.

We now provide speed dates and bonding support to ensure a good match.

Additional adoption info

HRS Chicago generally follows the adoption policy as set by the National House Rabbit Society. We ask that you review the policy before proceeding. Here is a link to the policy. http://www.rabbit.org/adoption/adoption-policies.html The adopter and primary care giver must be over 24 years of age.

Below is a brief description of our adoption process so you understand how we operate.

Our adoption fee is $125 per rabbit to help partially cover the cost of an initial medical exam, vaccines and spay or neuter surgery. The adoption process starts with the prospective adopter being sent an adoption application and then being interviewed by phone by our Foster/Adoption Director. If the director and the prospective adopter feel that adoption is right for everyone, the process passes to our adoption director who will try to match the adoptive family with an appropriate rabbit. It is important that we understand the potential adopter’s home environment so we can match them with a rabbit who will fit into their lifestyle. Rabbits have distinct personalities with definite likes and dislikes. This is especially important if the new rabbit will have another rabbit friend. We find that adoptions are more successful when the personalities of the rabbit and the adoptive family are well matched.

Our foster rabbits are in a network of foster homes throughout the Chicago area. We attempt to match potential adopters with a foster rabbit in their local area. If you would prefer to be able to go into a shelter to view the animals, there are a few Chicago area shelters that have good adoption programs. You may also want to check with one of them.
