Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Iris! Iris is small but mighty girl that was abandoned by her previous owner at our doors in a box. She had many signs of neglect and was very frightened upon arrival but now she's cleaned up, eating well, and full of confidence!
Iris looks to be a Polish rabbit with tiny ears and striking blue eyes. She is full of sass and is not afraid to let you know her likes and dislikes! She is learning to trust humans as she came from a situation that probably forced her to defend herself. Every day she is becoming more trusting and she's looking for an adopter that understands that she is still learning that humans can be her friends :) She is very curious and loves to dig and chew on her toys and houses. Because she is a chewer, she will need a rabbit-proofed space where she is free to have fun and be herself.
She is a small/medium sized bun at about 3-4 pounds and we estimate that she may be around 2 years old. She has genuine interest in other rabbits and ideally we would find her a loving home where she an bond with another rabbit (preferably a male). If you have a neutered and vaccinated male bun that is also looking for a friend, Iris would love to have a speed date with him! Other than possibly having a bonded mate, she is looking for a calm household where she can free roam and explore outside of her pen enclosure. She may be better with adults and older children because she needs her humans to go slow and respect her boundaries. Her adoption fee includes her spay surgery, microchip and RHDV2 vaccination. Please fill out our adoption questionnaire if you'd like to meet Iris!

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.
