THE ADOPTION PROCESS

So you interested in adopting one of our rabbits or guinea pigs:

Please do your research to make certain that rabbits or guinea pigs can become part of your life.

Rabbits are not cheap pets, they require a substantial investment to get their accommodation set up and they will require preventative veterinary treatment through their lives.

Please contact us to let us know that you are interested in adopting from us. Because life at the rescue can be very busy, and we are not always able to answer the phone, it is preferable that you make contact via email. We will then arrange a time for you to visit us, meet the rabbits/guinea pigs and have a chat.

If you would like to adopt a rabbit or a pair of rabbits it would be helpful if you could include some information in your email.
If you are looking to adopt a rabbit to bond with a rabbit you already own then please tell us when your rabbit was neuetered and vaccinated or if it is still to be carried out then a date when this is due.
If you already have your rabbit accommodation then please could you send us a description, including dimensions, and if possible a photo. If you haven't purchased your accommodation yet then it is worth waiting until you have visited the rescue because we can show you lots of alternatives to the traditional, and rather old fashioned rabbit hutch. We use the Rabbit Welfare Assocc guidelines as a minimum size, if your accommodation is smaller then we will help with suggestions on how you can upgrade it.
We would also like to know about your rabbit experience but don't worry if you are new to rabbits, we can provide you with lots of information.

The animals in our rescue have already been let down for one reason or another so we will do our best to ensure they are going to the best of forever homes.

Before adopting from us we will carry out a home check. This is not to be seen as an exam but for us to ensure that everything is just right for you to be able to give the animal the very best home. If you are looking to adopt a guinea pig and you live locally then we will carry out a home check. However if you are not local we will discuss this with you when you contact us.
