My story

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

Meet Dennis! Dennis came to us after being rescued from a Chicago park along with 17 other rabbits. They were all in rough shape due to poor living conditions, no veterinary care and territorial fighting amongst each other. We are thankful that he survived when the odds were against him. Despite this, he is a very curious and social bun!

Dennis is a medium-large size rabbit at around 5 pounds and is estimated to be around 1-2 years old. He is looking for a quiet and low stress home where he is able to free roam in a rabbit-proofed space for much of his time. He has truly blossomed in his foster home and went from being scared and defensive to giving his human friends kisses and following them everywhere they go! He sometimes gets a little nippy but it's usually when food is involved and he gets overly excited. But he's learning and has come so far in the last couple months! He is a very good free-roaming bun with his litter habits and likes to sit on the couch or the bed while his humans read or watch a movie. He definitely gets the zoomies and loves to explore!

Dennis is very interested in other rabbits and perks up when he's around others. We are definitely looking for a rabbit girlfriend for Dennis! If you have a single spayed/vaccinated rabbit that is also looking for a friend, Dennis would love to meet her :)

Dennis's adoption fee includes RHDV2 vaccine, microchip and neuter surgery. Please fill out our adoption form if you'd like to learn more about him!

After all that he went through living in a group, he is hesitant of other rabbits but we think he would love to find a nice female rabbit companion down the road. His adoption fee includes RHDV2 vaccine, microchip and neuter surgery. Please contact us to learn more about Dennis or any of our other rabbits!

More about this shelter

The Animal Care League was founded in 1973 as the Village Humane Society to help homeless animals in the Oak Park community. After a few years of operations, the Humane Society realized the need for help extended beyond the Oak Park borders and changed its name to the Animal Care League to better communicate our purpose.

At the beginning, the ACL did not have a physical shelter to house animals. Instead, supporters cared for animals in their homes until a permanent home could be found. This personal touch was very nice, however, it greatly limited the number of animals that could be helped and made the adoption process very slow. In the late 1970’s, the Animal Care League rented its first shelter, relocating to a new building a few years later. For many years the shelter worked out of this small facility, but in 1998 we moved again to our current location. We have the capacity to house up to thirty-three dogs, more than 120 cats and many other little critters such as birds, rabbits, mice, snakes and even chickens.

From the very beginning, the ACL has had a policy of keeping adoptable animals until we could find them a home and this is still in practice today. This means that no matter how long it takes, we keep an adoptable animal with us until we find that right loving home. Even though the number of animals coming through our doors for help each year has increased by 100 percent in the last several years alone, we firmly believe in this policy and will continue to give every animal the best opportunity possible to find a new home. We have accomplished this by taking proactive approaches to animal care and adoption as well as preventative measures to help reduce the number of homeless animals in our communities.

The Animal Care League works very hard to keep our animals healthy, reduce the number and severity of behavior problems and to act proactively in finding new homes for our pets.
