Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Pip! This little lady came to us after being found in the NW suburbs after being abandoned outdoors. We believe she was purchased from a local pet store that often sells Pip's breed and then was dumped outdoors where she certainly would not have survived. The team that finally was able to catch her said that she was fending for herself for at least a month this past fall. Poor girl had signs of neglect but is now on the right path with a healthy diet and a comfortable living space.
Pip is a Dutch rabbit and is probably around 1-2 years old. Dutches are usually only around 3-5 pounds and we think that Pip will be on the smaller side of that range once she loses some of the unhealthy weight she acquired in her previous home. She most likely was fed pellets only and not given ample space to exercise.
Pip is a little shy at first but once she is comfortable, she loves being pet and relaxing on a soft blanket. She is not a very high energy rabbit - she is more low-key and calm. That does not mean that she does not like to explore and run around! She definitely does and ideally her forever home would be quiet, low stress, and mostly free roam. She is very tidy with her litter box habits and she grooms herself perfectly. Pip would love a rabbit boyfriend to help her come out of her shell so if you have a single neutered/vaccinated male rabbit also looking for friend, Pip would love to have a date with him!
Pip's adoption fee includes RHDV2 vaccination, spay surgery and microchip. 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.
