I'm just popping into to say I got my current rabbit, Amy, from a Pets At Home, Pets For Adoption thing. Basically she'd been there with other rabbits, but nobody wanted her for some reason (idiots). She waited for months and months, quite a few on her own, before I got her. I was originally planning on getting a rescue rabbit (and, slightly off topic, but four years ago when I first wanted a chinchilla, I tried to find a breeder in the area but couldn't; there were none at P@H until last June, where I was also in a stable enough place, when I got Kurt, and we do have some problems with him) after my Pipkin died, but I sort of justified it to myself that she was more at risk in P@H at being handed off to a bad owner, than our nearest Scottish SPCA rescue centre, which would make sure their rabbits went to responsible owners. Yeah, lame excuse, and it's hard to feel moral about supporting these people, but no one will ever make me feel ashamed or guilty for getting Amy. She is the easiest, sweetest, cuddliest, gentle and affectionate rabbit I have ever known. She loves being snuggled and gives me kisses every day. She's real healthy, and other than being a bit shy those first few days and her hormones kicking in a little, we have no problems. I am very lucky she is both like this, and that she is not a pet shop horror story. I don't really have a point, I don't think pet shops should be the first choice when getting a new fur baby, and I know I'll be looking at rescues when I can look for a friend for Amy, but this is just my experience (though the worker whom handled the adoption did seem to not know all that much about rabbits to be honest, and I had to correct her in a couple of things, and dismissed that although I don't consider myself nowhere near anything like an expert, I had had rabbits for a decade by then, but I just shut up and let things proceed so I could get her home quicker).
