Hello from Laverne! She is a Rex mix bunny estimated at about 2 months old. Laverne and her sister Shirley are looking for a home that will take them in as foster to adopt while they wait to be spayed, and then can become all yours afterwards! Laverne is more skittish than her sister, and tends to flee from hands at first. However, when you first approach their enclosure, they both come running up and want their sweet noses rubbed. Once you sit with Laverne and give her a chance to get used to you and the idea of pats, she does enjoy a little head rub. The two girls look extremely similar, but Laverne has a flatter coat and has a couple more wrinkles in her forehead.
Rabbits have a vegan diet that consists mainly of high quality Timothy Hay, supplemented with 1/4 cup of hay-based pellets per day. Rabbits can eat fresh veggies, with the amount adjusted to suit your bunny's individual needs, but about a handful a day is a good starting point. They can eat romaine, green & red leaf lettuce, and dandelion greens, among others.
Rabbits need at least 4ftx4ft of open space to roam around in, with room for their food, water, litterbox, enrichment, and a spot to hide. They should be kept on a solid surface and not wire, as this can hurt their feet, with some soft bedding. Rabbits are social creatures and unless otherwise stated, should be kept with another rabbit friend.
Our shelter is open every day except Monday from 12-4. If you are interested in this pet, please call us at 978-452-7781, email info@lowellhumanesociety.org, or stop by the shelter to request an adoption application.

You must be 18 years or older to adopt an animal. A valid ID is required.
If you own your own home, please provide proof of home-ownership; a mortgage receipt, tax bill, water bill or deed will suffice.
If you rent, please bring your lease which states the type of pet you are interested in and that it is accepted or the name and phone of your landlord so we can verify the pet is allowed. Inquire with your landlord about any size or breed restrictions.
Please check with your home owner’s insurance company or landlord to find out if they have any restrictions on the breed(s) of dog they cover. Common breeds that may not be covered include: Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers and German Shepherds.
For the health and safety of the pet you are interested in adopting and your existing pets, we ask that you provide proof of current vaccinations and spay/neuter status for pets in your home. (We may be able to call your veterinarian if you do not have a copy available.)
A new pet is a family decision and we ask that all members of your family meet the pet and agree on the suitability for your household.
If you already have a dog(s) in your home please bring the dog(s) with you to meet the dog you are considering to see if they are compatible.
Complete an adoption application and talk with a staff member for more information about the animal you are considering.
