Reaching out to members of the community in Southern Oregon and Northern California!
This young male bunny was found dumped near W**d, CA. The people who found him cannot keep him and are having a hard time finding him a home. Shasta is a sweet little guy that just wants a home for Christmas.
❤️❤️Please let us know if you can provide a foster or permanent home for Shasta. ❤️❤️
This is the letter we received from the kind people who found Shasta-
I live in the very rural community of W**d, CA. We don't have any rescue organizations nearby that take in rabbits. I have a found bunny that I'm hoping to get to a place where he will be cared for and find a loving home. I cannot keep him. I'm just finishing cancer treatment and navigating disability.
I've posted on all Facebook groups, Nextdoor, and contacted shelters and animal control and no one can help or point me toward any local resources.
A couple weeks ago a small all white rabbit was spotted at my parent's home in Yreka, clearly panicking. He didn't seem to have skills to hide from the huge amount of predators. He stayed under a trailer for a week and we put out food and water. We were really worried a skunk or coyote or hawk would get him. We eventually caught him/her.
He's safe in a dog kennel but I'd like him to find a good home. I don't want to just give him away and have him face the same fate. People seem to think the domestic bunnies can just live in the wild.
Please let me know if you'd be able to take him. Very tame but frightened. I'm trying to find a vet that will check him over, there aren't any rabbit veterinarians in Siskiyou County.
He is frightened, shy, but loves being held and cuddled. He'd do really well with someone who wants to gain his trust and help him feel safe again.
