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, please email us and consider these 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
Before you contact us about adopting, please make sure you
are willing to commit 15 years to an inside rabbit. We do not place rabbits to
outdoor homes.
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.
Donations greatly appreciated!
