Overflow Crisis--Spread the Word!
Current mood: worried
Category: Pets and Animals

Large scale rescue - four sites 28 rabbits total

Shelters in Santa Cruz County have been hit with several large dumps of rabbits in the last few days from several abuse and confiscation cases. Rabbits were confiscated by Animal Control from four sites, with a total of 28 rabbits being taken away and brought to the two county shelters. One of the sites was a slaughterhouse, where the rabbits were breeding indiscriminantly and not being cared for. These rabbits were abused and neglected, many of them sick or injured, some adults and some babies. Shelter staff, shelter advocates and rescuers are scrambling to find places for these rabbits to go where they can heal and recover from their ordeal.
We need help from anyone interested in fostering or who may be able to adopt. The shelters were just slammed with 15 new rabbits in a large scale rescue and five more are expected to come. Eight more will be incoming soon from a variety of rescue and abandonment cases. These shelters were already full of rabbits because of dumped Easter bunnies, and The Haven's foster system is brimming full too. Sadly, these large cases will displace the existing shelter rabbits and foster sites at The Haven.
Please call or email if you can foster, rescue or adopt or help in any way! You can reach Auntie Heather Bechtel by phone at 831 239-7119 and email at director@therabbithaven.org. Please help us give these bunnies a chance at a new life free of suffering and abuse.
The following bunnies need homes ASAP:

Snuzzle:


Bishop:


Grecco:


And there are more! View our crisis page to see these cuties
