My story

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

Meet Lynfred! Lynfred is a black rex with the most luxurious velvet fur we've ever seen. She came to us after being found abandoned near a suburban winery where she was left to fend for herself for at least a month in December. While her coat is beautiful, it would not have protected her from the harsh winter weather that was to come. She was doing her best to survive by hiding under a shed but thankfully a team of field rescuers came to the rescue and were finally able to catch her on a bitterly cold day. We are so thankful that she is now safe and ready to find her forever home!

Lynfred is a medium-large sized rabbit at about 5-6 pounds and we estimate that she is between 1-2 years old. As mentioned, she has gorgeous velvet fur and a striking dewlap under her chin. So regal! She is extremely social and begs for pets and attention like a dog by putting her front feet on her human's legs. She also follows her humans around wanting to be part of the group (even if that group is just one other person!). We have yet to introduce her to any other rabbits but we feel that she would love a rabbit boyfriend down the road and is up for meeting any single neutered/vaccinated rabbits that are also looking!

Lynfred's ideal home environment would be low-stress and mostly free-roam because she loves to dance and binky in larger spaces and be around people. She is so far very good with her litter box habits making free-roaming ideal for her. She does not love to be held but absolutely loves attention and being pet endlessly! And once you touch her fur, you will want to pet her endlessly too! Her adoption fee includes microchip, spay surgery and RHDV2 vaccination. Please fill out our adoption questionnaire for more information on her or any of our other animals!

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.
