Meet Statler and his bonded mate Waldorf! These wonderful rex boys were recently returned to us after being adopted 2 years ago but they could no longer care for them. Originally, they came to us after being in a temporary home for 4 years, part of their time was living outdoors in Chicago weather. These sweeties are desperately looking for their final forever home!
Waldorf (white and grey) is about 4 pounds while Statler (otter) is about 5 pounds and are at least 7 years old. Waldorf is missing one of his eyes due to unknown circumstances but he gets around without issues despite being partially blind. Statler takes care of his eye but grooming it! They are really sweet and curious and love to do everything together. They love free roaming in their foster home so they can cuddle in the living room. They are mellow rabbits and are looking for a low stress and quiet home where they can be pampered with pets, snacks and tv watching. They are not comfortable walking on wood floors so they will require flooring with traction. Their adoption fee includes RHDV2 vaccinations, microchips and neuter surgeries. Please contact us to meet these sweethearts!

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.
