Maple- In Foster!

Maple is a sweet, gentle 4-year-old rabbit with a calm and affectionate personality. She doesn't take long to warm up-within a minute of meeting her, she happily approached for attention. Maple enjoys full-body pets and has a special fondness for being pet between the eyes. Cheek massages earn you the ultimate compliment: soft, content tooth purrs.<br/><br/>She's also comfortable with gentle grooming, allowing loose tufts to be plucked, and she communicates her needs beautifully. When Maple has had enough interaction, she'll politely walk away and loaf in her box, showing she knows how to set kind boundaries. Maple would make a wonderful companion for someone seeking a friendly, well-mannered rabbit who enjoys affection while still appreciating her quiet time. <br/><br/>Adoption fees for rabbits is $75 for a single or a pair, and include veterinary exam and spay/neuter.<br/><br/>As most of our small animals are in fostercare, if you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about this pet, the best way to start the process is to call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us at springfield@dakinhumane.org. If you already have a cage, please send a picture of your cage when you inquire.<br/><br/>We've made a video about how to set up rabbits for success!

If there are two names listed together (eg Peanut Butter w/Jelly), that means that the two animals are a bonded pair of friends, and must be adopted together. <br/><br/>-Got a single at home you're looking for a friend for? Any animal listed alone on our website is a single and a great candidate<br/>-A new friend will need a separate cage until friendship has been established<br/>-Our rabbits are all spayed/neutered at 4 months of age; as long as one or both rabbits are neutered, mixing genders is okay. <br/>-It takes time and patience to let the rabbits make friends with each other.
