My daughter WON a bunny 3 years ago at a local festival and the poor thing just lives in her room in her cage day after day (even if my daughter forgets to feed her for a couple days)...I feel bad and want to find a home for her (the rabbit not my daughter...lol). Does anyone know what kind of organization might take a rabbit? She really doesn't fit in with a house full of retrievers (we breed Goldens). thanks

This is not a breed of rabbit that we can identify and my friend used to breed and show rabbits but she said nobody will take her. Plus she is not very friendly. So I would not want her placed in a home with inexperienced rabbit owners. But my daughter is going to go away to college and I raise golden retrievers and in no way have time to take care of her BUNNY...

cute answer Julius S. I am not a mean person but I just want the bunny gone...my (20 year old) son suggested turning her loose in the back yard with the dogs. I did not agree that idea. btw.

Place an ad on a classifieds website like www.cragislist.org or www.kijiji.com. Do not offer a free rabbit. If you do, it could end up as food for a snake (or other reptile). Be honest about the situation and the bunny's behaviour. Don't do 'first come first serve' screen the interested people. Ask some questions about rabbit care, like housing, food, letting it out. Ask WHY they want the rabbit, be careful of people wanting a rabbit for their children (as you know what can happen).
If posting as ad doesn't work or you can't find a suitable person, a local rescue would be a good choice. I don't recommend a pet store as they will just sell the bunny and not really care.

It seems like the best thing you can do is see if their are any pet shops located around your area, they should be able to take the bunny, as long as nothing is wrong with it, also maybe a local vet
may be able to find a home for it or even take it until they do, so just look in the phone book in maybe the yellow pages under pet shops, I'm pretty sure they will take it. Hope this helps!

I went through tons of pets when i was a kid with the same problems lol my hampster learnt to only use the bathroom in one corner bc it rarley got changed. Call up a few local pet shops and ask if they will take him. That always worked best for me. That was the bunny will have a loving home =) Just make sure if they cant sell him or give him away to call u so nothing happens to the poor thing.

There is a house rabbit society that finds homes for rabbits or else go to yahoo groups and they have rabbits classified group its mostly breeders but you will also find people who are just looking or a pet give a description of the rabbit, the price, and if you can give any help transporting it. Also a newspaper add is not bad but be careful some people use the newspaper to find food for snakes and other reptials.

Your choice of organizations is limited.
You cannot simply donate a rabbit for 'medical research', as creatures used in this manner must be 'germ free', and these are very expensive animals bred in a specialized environment.
Your local zoo would be able to accept your rabbit. I would advise sending it by courier, (the postal service may not accept livestock), and addressing it to the curator of reptiles.

You can place an add and adopt the bunny out yourself. I would try that first. If that doesn't work I would take it to your local no-kill shelter and they can find it a home. If I lived nearby I would take her but unfortunatly I'm clear in Iowa! good luck!

Your son is an ****ole, your daughter is selfish and yes, you are mean, but at least you are trying to find bunny a new home. I'm not surprised your bunny is not very friendly as it doesn't sound like she's had much love shown to her. Enquiring at the vets is a good idea.
