I have a problem... I volunteer at the local animal shelter and we are bursting at the seams with bunnies. There are 42 of them as of yesterday, and it seems like we're getting 3-5 strays picked up off the streets each week.
Irvine is a Low Kill shelter, but the strain of the amount of animals and the lack of adoptions now put the City in a difficult position, it has been suggested that the older residents and those that require constant medical care are now in jeparody of being put to sleep to ease the population space for more adoptable animals.
So the call goes out to residents of Los Angeles & Orange County CA, or anyone associated with a Rabbit Rescue group for help, we have quite a few pairs and old residents (1+ Years) that need your help. I may only be able to take 1-2 home for bonding and that is really pushing it legally for the amount of animals allowed in my residence, but unfortunately there are other cute long time residents that are being eyed for retirement. And the only reason that they are looked over is due to that they are of larger breeds, or paired up with another rabbit.
Irvine Animal Care Center has a pet screening policy that is good for the welfare of the animals they adopt out, but it also limits the potentials that may not like the hassle. The requirements are simple though, 1) If Renting, Proof that you may have animals in the residence, 2) Everyone at the residence must be at the shelter to ensure that no-one member is "Allergic"
If anyone in the LA & Orange County CA are is interested in a rabbit or two, I urge you to make trip to the shelter and check out my fluffy friends, Especially 'Glendora & Propel', she's a big lump of a rabbit, but loves attention, at one point she had flopped next to me and we took a nap in the rabbit yard.
Even if you don't take one of the long time residents, any help in reducing the rabbit population would be helpful.
Help save my long eared friends if you can.
