Sprout's Story

Meet Sprout - Small but Mighty! Sprout may be the tiniest of her litter, but don't let her size fool you-this little bun is full of spirit, and charm. Born in foster care to her mom Abigale, Sprout quickly showed she wasn't one to be pushed around by her siblings. Whether she's claiming the coziest corner or first dibs on the tastiest treat, Sprout holds her own among her bigger siblings with confidence and flair. She's a natural leader in a pint-sized package-sometimes a bit bossy with certain bunnies. Because of this, she might be happiest bonded with her calm and loving mom or a gentle, easygoing rabbit who doesn't mind her calling the shots. When she's not busy being the queen of the pen, Sprout is sweet, social, and absolutely adores being petted. One way to her heart? Dandelion flowers! Sprout is looking for a home that will shower her with affection, and maybe keep a steady supply of dandelions on hand. Could she be the little bunny you've been waiting for? Sprout is currently living with her mom, and siblings. She will need to be adopted with mom or one of her siblings or adopted as a friend for your rabbit. The first step in our adoption process is to fill out our on-line adoption application at the following link. https://www.rabbitsinthehouse.org/adoption-application The application is not a commitment to adopt. It's just a place to start: to let us know you are interested, to give us some information to properly advise you, and to help us keep track of people who have contacted us about adoption. The questions are designed so that we have consistent information from each adopter. Sometimes just emailing back and forth or talking on the phone we might forget to ask something. The form has been a big help for us. You must be at least 18 to adopt from us.

House Rabbit Society MD/DC/NoVA's Adoption Policy

Our chapter address is Baltimore, MD but we have rabbits living in foster homes throughout the chapter area, which includes MD, DC, and NoVA. Primary Caregiver When a rabbit is adopted from HRS, the primary caregiver must be a responsible adult. The rabbit should be treated as an integral part of the family, i.e., no group ownership (such as a classroom pet). We do NOT adopt rabbits as pets for children. The rabbit must be wanted by the entire family. Indoor Housing Adopters of HRS rabbits must understand that our rabbits are to live as household companions. This means that they must have their primary living space indoors, and must spend every night indoors. During the daytime, adopters can allow their rabbits outdoor daytime exercise. If this is the case, the rabbit must be provided with an area with secure fencing, and adequate supervision. Adopters may require additional safety precautions appropriate to their locale. If a cage is used, a rabbit’s home should be at least 4-6 times the size of your bunny when they are fully stretched out. The space should be even larger if they are confined for a large amount of the day. Enclosure sizes also should be decided in conjunction with the amount of exercise time and space the rabbit has. General guidelines for a rabbit who has an enclosure: Enclosure space: at least 8 square feet Exercise space: at least 24 square feet Exercise time: able to run and play at least 5 hours per day Social Requirements If the rabbit is going to be alone (i.e. without the company of people, a cat or other household pets) for the majority of the time, then we recommend that the adopter adopt a second rabbit as a companion to the first. Returns If there are such problems with the adopted rabbit that the adopter needs to return the rabbit, we ask that you give the chapter some advance notice. Some common sense and courtesy is expected. Once an animal is adopted from HRS, the space vacated is usually filled within a week. A return requires two preparations: a space must be opened by a new adoption, and another rabbit must be “bumped” from the rescue list at the animal shelter. Nevertheless, all rabbits adopted from this chapter must be returned to this chapter in case of insurmountable problems. Adoption Fees HRS adoption fees are donations that cannot be refunded. We are a federally recognized tax-exempt, non-profit organization. Donations made to us are no more refundable than they are to any other public charity.
