My story

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

Meet Penny! This sweetie is a ball of sunshine with her outgoing and friendly personality. You cannot help but smile being around her! To think that she was found wandering around the grounds of a suburban nursing home after being dumped and left to fend for herself. The staff were unable to grab but lucky for her, a group of field rescuers were able to catch her and bring her to safety. She was covered in ticks so she had most likely been surviving outdoors for some time. The team named her lucky Penny for her color and charm!

Penny is a medium-large sized rabbit weighing about 5 pounds and is probably around 1-2 years old. She looks to be a Palomino breed but she may just be a mix. Penny is food motivated, adventurous, curious, athletic and cuddly. She is looking for a home where she can relax with you on the couch, free roam in rabbit-proofed areas, and eat all her favorite greens and treats! We know she loves humans but we also think she would love a rabbit boyfriend! If you have a single neutered/vaccinated rabbit that is also looking for a friend, Penny would love to set up a date! She is doing very well with her litter box habits and is looking for a quiet home where she can free roam and binky to her hearts desire.

Penny's adoption fee includes RHDV2 vaccination, microchip and spay surgery. If you'd like more information on lucky Penny or any of our other animals, please fill out our adoption questionnaire!

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.
