IHRS held our First Annual Bunny Lovers Picnic on October 1, 2006 in Broadripple Park. Indiana HRS volunteers, adopters, supporters, and their families met to share the company of fellow bunny-lovers.
The metropolitan park was peaceful. The weather was sunny and mild. The pitch-in food was plentiful. The company of other bunny lovers was awesome.
We watched a lot of people share photos and stories. We also heard people benchmarking with other rabbit owners to solve common behavior problems. There is no better teacher than someone who has lived the lesson you are trying to learn!
Help Indiana HRS Save Lives By Adopting A Mature Rabbit!
Dear Adopters: The ASPCA and Petfinder.com invite you to join Indiana House Rabbit Society (HRS) in declaring November the first annual Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month. Contrary to common wisdom, many rabbits live long and happy lives! When housed indoors, receiving appropriate veterinary care, and fed an appropriate diet, rabbits often live into their second decade. With better owner education, improved diets and husbandry, and better medical care, more rabbits are living into their senior years. Indiana House Rabbit Society has several wonderful older rabbits available for adoption. Under the care and guidance of our hard-working HRS foster care providers, these rabbits have lived as a family member, they are socialized, litter-trained, and understand what behaviors are acceptable for a house rabbit.
There are several advantages of obtaining a rabbit through HRS:
- Adopt a Rabbit Who Has Been Examined by a Rabbit-Savvy Vet – All Indiana HRS rabbits have been spayed or neutered, have had a comprehensive physical examination by a veterinarian who specializes in rabbit care, and have been treated for any illness. HRS shares all veterinary information with prospective adopters.
- Adopt a Rabbit That Matches Your Family Situation - The best possible match to your family and lifestyle will help your adoption be a lifelong, rewarding one. We require all prospective adopters to complete an adoption questionnaire. Indiana HRS volunteers speak with prospective adopters by telephone to understand expectations. Our Volunteers then contact foster homes where the rabbits live as family members, to help us make the best match.
- Visit Rabbits in Foster Home Settings – Adopting is a relationship that should last the lifetime of the pet. There’s no substitute for meeting the rabbit in person in his/her foster home to see if the match is right for you … and the rabbit! After completing the questionnaire and speaking with an HRS volunteer, we welcome prospective adopters to come and meet rabbits in their foster homes.
- Post-Adoption Support – House Rabbit Society volunteers provide post-adoption support for the lifetime of the rabbit. We maintain a list of rabbit-savvy veterinarians and provide guidance for any issues that develop. If our volunteers cannot find the answer to a question, we network with other House Rabbit Society experts located around the country. Indiana HRS realizes that even though prospective adopters have done their homework, sometimes an adoption may not work out. Indiana HRS will accept adopted rabbits back at any time.
