Had a call from a lady about a week ago who had re-homed a "rescued bunny "from a certain pet shop only 2 weeks previous who now could no longer look after it as her son is allergic to the fur.
She was advised to contact the well known store and take it back as they re-home "rescue rabbits" and it was only right and proper they have the opportunity to deal with it as it is one of their "rescues".
She contacted us later in the day to inform me they were full and I advised her to keep trying and in the meantime I would put her on our list.
I have since contacted her as we now have a space and upon speaking to her ,she informes me that the store could not take it back till at least the end of March or after easter in other words. She also told me she received no information about the rabbits past other than the previous owner could not look after him or advice re neutering or cost of and likewise vaccinations.
The bunny is coming to us on Monday when she can get it to us and all being well after neutering and vaccinations will be advertised through here.
Well this is the first "rescue" rabbit we have had to deal with from this place who at this time of year are too full for the next 3-4 weeks, but.....are we the first to take in such a "rescue" rabbit ? and we're looking for suitable topical names for the little fellow believed to be a male but only 50% sure.
I make no comment about the above circumstances or timing but can I re-assure all readers that once he has come through us he/she will be neutered, fully vaccinated , paired up , re-homed to the correct environment and on the right diet, and should its subsequent re-homing fail for whatever reason we will bust a gut to get the little fellow back straight away as he/she will be "one of ours " so to speak and we will somehow "make space" as its well being will be to some degree "at risk".
