Thanks to local media attention, and a reduction in the adoption fee for rabbits, many of the homeless rabbits were adopted, but 127 are still waiting for homes.
By working together — local rescue groups, PETCO and the PETCO Foundation — we can do great things on behalf of homeless rabbits,» Petcovice president of animal care Marcie Whichard said.
After we published the first edition of the House Rabbit Handbook in 1985, we began rescuing homeless rabbits, which eventually led to the founding of the House Rabbit Society.
Housed in a small, charming converted residence that includes a shelter, a boarding facility and a retail store, the GA HRS is run by an amazing team of dedicated volunteers who help rescue, care for and adopt out over 300 homeless rabbits every year.
