Caring for abandoned rabbits and wildlife across North Texas

With Spring having sprung and the effects of the natural breeding season being what they are, this is the time of year when all rabbit rescues are in desperate need of foster homes.  Most rescues (including our own) have reached operating capacity, and there are still more rabbits that need homes!

We are calling for everyone, anyone with any room for a rabbit, to please foster rabbits for us.  We get two or three e-mails each day from people saying they can no longer care for their rabbits and they need more homes, and we rarely have a place for them to turn.  If you think you can spare some room to let a rabbit into your life and your homes, please let us know.  We will walk you through all the steps of keeping a rabbit if you’re unfamiliar with it, and in most cases we can even provide a cage for the rabbit to stay in when they’re not roaming around the house with you.

Please, if you are at all interested in fostering for us, it is an absolute joy living with a rabbit and an even greater joy when they are finally matched with a wonderful forever home.  Contact us if you have any questions or would like to foster a rabbit.

Last week we were contacted by a lady in Snyder, Texas who rescued five rabbits from her neighbor.  All of these rabbits are very young, less than a year old, and were suffering from abuse, neglect, and attacks from dogs.  This kind woman took the rabbits in and is currently housing them in her gazebo while we try to find some place, any place, for them to go.  She cannot keep them indoors, so they are lounging around in the shade and learning to use litter boxes, but this Texas heat can sometimes be lethal to bunnies.  These five need foster homes immediately, and if anyone has room to take them in, please let us know!  The bunnies (and all of us!) would very much appreciate it.  Here are their profiles and pictures:

Sydney

Sydney is an unaltered female solid black rabbit.  She is only 3-5 months old and extremely sweet!  She loves to be cuddled and held.  When you scratch her behind the ear, she sticks her ears up for you.

Floppy

Floppy is an unaltered male agouti colored lop.  He is 8-10 months old and a little timid.  He will need extra love and attention but will make a wonderful pet!  He loves to snack on carrots.

Peaches

Peaches is an unaltered male light brown lop.  He is 8-10 months old and a slightly shy bunny with a sweet demeanor.  He loves to snack on hay, and with some love and attention Peaches will make a great pet!

Oreo

Oreo is an unaltered female English Spot mix.  She is 8-10 months old and very timid right now.  Oreo will need a patient owner or foster parent, one  who can sit with her calmly and let her know the abuse is over.  She is very pretty, this picture does not do her justice!  Oreo loves to much on anything, especially chew toys.

Bailey

Bailey is an agouti colored unaltered female.  She is 8-10 months old and timid, she will need a little extra love and affection. She loves cucumbers!  Bailey likes to be petted, but you must make slow moments towards her. She is extremely curious and loves to look around.

Note: “Unaltered” means not spayed (female) or neutered (male) yet.  All rabbits fostered and/or adopted through WildRescue, Inc./Rabbit Rescue get spayed or neutered, at no charge to the fosterer.  The cost of spays/neuters are covered under the adoption fee for anyone wanting to adopt.
