Additional adoption info
Steps in the adoption process:
1. Before you apply, we urge you to become familiar with the housing, diet, and health requirements of the species you are interested in. We will be happy to provide educational materials or you can check out one of the care guides. Just email us for more information!
2. We ask all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application. We now have an online application (available here.) You may also download an MS Word copy of our application here and email it back to us if you have problems with the online form.
3. When we receive your application and have performed the vet check, we email you to talk about your interests and needs and try to match you up with your ideal pet.
4. We then schedule a time to visit your home so you can meet your chosen animals. If there is to be an introduction between rabbits, we will also need to schedule a "date" on neutral ground for them to get acquainted.
5. At the home check we will answer any remaining questions you might have!
Requirements:
Husbandry requirements vary based on species. Please visit the appropriate page below for more information:

Adoption fees:
We do ask for a small donation to be made for each animal which is adopted. We spend approximately $250 per animal prior to adoption, about $150 of which is vet care and spay/neuter, so you can see that the adoption fee does not even begin to cover the cost of rescue & rehabilitation. Larger donations to cover the cost of spay/neuter are always appreciated, and any donation you make above and beyond the adoption fee is tax deductible!
