Hi!
I’m Peter (aka Bunsen)!
I am super friendly to my peeps. If you’re not my peep yet, just give me a little bit of time, and I warm right up. I’m three years old. They say I’m a Dutch rabbit, but I prefer to call myself Adorable. I currently live with two cats that I like to boss around while my mom is closely watching. I LOVE to be pet and get ear rubs! Especially after I’ve had my favorite treats of carrots and dandelion flowers! I’ll even snuggle up to you and hang out on your lap. And if you’re extra lucky, I’ll give you kisses while you pet me.
I really enjoy playing with toys, chew balls, cardboard tubes and hay mats. I especially love to push around blankets/towels and feel awesome sitting in a cardboard box. I’m curious, expressive, playful, loving and especially goofy. When I get a carrot treat, I do a special dance and run around my enclosure and then eat my carrot. My family calls it the “carrot dance!”
I’m good with my litter box and I won’t dig in your carpet. I like to practice ‘bunny-fengshui’ and will rearrange my enclosure. If you leave me alone with a cord or two….well, let’s just say, it’s your fault. My mom loves me so much, but I have to find a new forever home due to her allergies. I come with all of my toys and supplies. I’m very healthy neutered and have had all my check-ups. Will you give me a new forever home?

If you are interested in adopting Peter, please contact Maggie LaCourse at 410-499-3504 or mlacourse12@gmail.com. His adoption fee is $90 and he is located in Catonsville, MD.

ABOUT FRIENDS OF RABBITS
Friends of Rabbits is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue operating in
the greater DC-metro area. We take rabbits at risk of euthanasia from
shelters in Maryland, DC and Virginia. We also rescue abandoned and neglected
rabbits and assist with large confiscation cases. We provide foster
homes and veterinary care for our rabbits, have them
spayed/neutered and find them new forever homes through our
adoption programs.
Please note: we are not licensed to handle wildlife.

Come Meet Our Pets...
We have adoption events at headquarters located in Columbia, MD. We also have regularly scheduled events in local pet stores throughout the metropolitan region.

Our Adoption Process...
Prior to adoption, we ask that people fill out an application: http://www.friendsofrabbits.org/adoptionform.htm
1. The rabbit must be adopted by a responsible adult at least 18 years of age. If the rabbit is to be adopted out to a family, the primary caregiver must be an adult or a responsible older teen. Younger children may do the work necessary to care for the rabbit under the daily supervision of an adult. All adults in the family must agree on adopting the rabbit.
2. We do not adopt our rabbits out as classroom pets. Exceptions would be adoption to the teacher who may bring the rabbit into the classroom on a regular basis.
3. Rabbits are social animals. The adopted rabbit is to be housed indoors in an appropriate space where he or she will receive daily interaction with the family. The best possible space would be freedom in a rabbit proofed room. If that is not possible, a dog exercise pen with rabbit safe flooring works well. Other options include a large dog crate or a roomy cage. The best cages are at least 42 to 48 inches long by 24 inches width. The 24 inch width allows for use of the widest and deepest jumbo litter boxes which work very well for most rabbits. Caging can also be easily built to fit your space using shelving material. Instructions on how to build those cages can be provided. Caged rabbits need daily exercise time outside the cage.
4. If you are renting your home, please have written consent from your landlord before you adopt.
5. For new adopters, we usually conduct a home visit to make sure that the rabbit will be adopted into a safe environment. We occasionally adopt out rabbits to people outside our area. If it is not possible to conduct a home visit ourselves, we will either ask an associate in your area to visit your home or we will ask for photographs of your setup for the rabbit.
6. When they are ill, rabbits require a veterinarian that specializes in exotic animals. Be aware that these services are considerably more expensive than most veterinarians. Plan them into your budget accordingly.
7. If you are looking to adopt a companion for your existing rabbit, your rabbit must be spayed or neutered prior to any introductions.
8. The final step to the adoption process is filling out a contract, which is supplied by our representative. The cost to adopt a rabbit from us is $90 for a single rabbit and $150 for a pair. The adoption fees include a goodie bag with rabbit care information, necessities, toys and a coupon for discounted rabbit supplies, and cover the cost of the rabbit's spay/neuter.
