Roma Rabbit Chinchilla & American Mix Columbia, MD

Roma is a very pretty girl, Chinchilla mix with the classic scrunched face and tan agougi coloring. She loves to be pet, but it still cautious with humans and needs someone patient. Give her some space and maybe a treat and she would love to come up to you for all the petting you can handle. And maybe some more pellets and veggies.

Roma has been living with her two boys, Milky and Twix, in a house with young children and several cats, so she is very comfortable around everyday household choas and fun.

She enjoys wandering and exploring, but she especially loves snuggling with another bun. Roma could be adopted with either or both of her boys, or a brand new bun, but no matter what she should have bunny company. Need a little more bunny love in your life?

If you are interested in adopting Roma, please fill out the application at https://www.friendsofrabbits.org/forms/form?verify=abc123&formid=3852 and email Friends of Rabbits at adoptions@friendsofrabbits.org. and someone will call or email you to schedule a visit. Her adoption fee is $90. Roma is in a foster home in Columbia, 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.
