Arkansas Pet Rabbit Network

Our Featured Pet...

News

We are actively seeking new foster homes - we cannot take on any more bunns at this time as our fosters are overfilled! Please consider becoming a foster - you'll save a life!

Who We Are

The Arkansas Pet Rabbit Network was started in July 2006 by Sharon Dumas and Erin Bradford, two long-time rabbit lovers who were looking for a way to provide Arkansas rabbit owners with educational information as well as resources for adoption.

At this time, our foster homes are limited, so we are not accepting owner-surrender animals. However, if you would like help with placing your rabbit, here are a few tips:

• First, think about keeping that rabbit! We can offer lots of helpful advice on behavioral and health issues. Also, check out www.rabbit.org for EVERYTHING you need to know!
• Next, talk to friends and family - make sure to give your rabbit to a trustworthy individual.
• Put an ad in the paper or at your vet's office, and be sure to charge an adoption fee.
• Finally, if you are absolutely desperate for help, contact us or your local pet store (or breeder) where you purchased your rabbit to find out about adoption days. If they are a responsible store or breeder, they should be willing to help you find a new home for your bunny.

Adopting a friend

To adopt one of our bunnies, you will need to complete an application and home visit. All of our bunns are spayed and neutered, so a small adoption fee (usually $35) applies.

Hey, why not adopt two? Good things about having a pair....

• Two bunnies will have the company of each other throughout the day while you are at work, even if all they do is sleep.
  
• You get the pleasure of watching them play & sleep together
  
• Bunnies are very emotional and loving with each other - when two bunnies are split up, they can suffer greatly from depression.
  
• You'll be fascinated at the way they communicate with each other. We all know they are talking to each other, we just can't work out how they do it so quietly! If you don't believe me, try giving one a treat when the other isn't looking!
  
• Rabbits that are sometimes very shy really come out of their shells when they get around bunny buddies.
  
• A pair of bunnies is easier to manage if you are busy and sometimes don't have time to give them attention. They'll appreciate you even more when you do have time to spend with them.
