House Rabbit Society

Days after returning Pickle back to the shelter, I found myself scrolling through pics and tearing up because I missed her so much.

I texted the husband: “I miss Pickle.” 

His two-word response: “Get her.”

And so we did. Pickle reacclimated to our home in no time and now lives the life of a queen.

February is Adopt a Rescue Rabbit Month, dedicated to raising awareness about rescue rabbits and highlighting the many rabbits waiting in shelters for loving homes.

Every year in the U.S., an estimated 6-8 million homeless pets enter animal shelters, many of them at risk of euthanasia. By choosing to adopt your new rabbit rather than buying one from a breeder or pet store, you can help reduce the number of rabbits entering shelters each year, and save lives.

It can be a stressful experience looking for an available pet sitter for your bunny, especially when there are several options. You may have questions such as: how many years of experience do they have; is this important? Is this normal across all pet sitters?

By the end of this article, you will have an answer to these questions as well as confidence in your decision of the perfect caretaker for your companion(s).
