Rescues and Christmas...

So as usual I was listening to Rother FM the other day and a rescue lady came on saying that rescues don't rehome animals over Christmas because it is a very hectic time of year and for a frightened animal in a strange place this is a bad thing.

Well I've been thinking about it since I heard it and I was wondering... How many people re-home over Christmas? Why do you and why don't you? When you do re-home over the Christmas period do you look for anything extra than normal?

I think each individual situation should be concidered. I have rehomed two rabbits this weekend as the couple they have gone to live with are having a quiet Christmas at home and have the week off to settle the bunnies. Another couple who are adopting two rabbits off me have a large family coming to them so they have reserved the rabbits and are picking them up after the Christmas festivities are over.

Incidentaly I have not had my weeks break :roll:.

We don't rehome at the Blue Cross from 17th Dec to 2nd Jan, partly to avoid people having a pet as a "present", and because of the stress over Xmas of different visitors to the home and all the general distruption over Xmas. We've still been getting plenty of animals reserved though
