Rescuing Dumped Rabbits

It often starts with a late-night text message, perhaps just a blurry photo and a pin drop or cross streets. Sometimes it’s my name being flagged on a Nextdoor post or a share of a Facebook post, but regardless of where the “lost rabbit” message comes from, the urgency is the same. The clock is ticking for these poor souls as we know that domesticated rabbits have zero ability to survive outside on the loose. They are threatened by predators of all types—from dogs and hawks to cars and horrific treatment by cruel people—but they also struggle to find food and water to sustain themselves while awaiting rescue.
