Pet Rabbits on the Run in Collier Neighborhood
Sarasota/Tampa/orlando area. Look at this gorgeous pair available for adoption. Perfect dominos. 🥰 a pair of hares is better than one.
Thumper and Sandy are once again available for adoption. They were returned to FANS a few weeks ago through no fault of their own. Thumper is a lover and is a bit of a lap bunny. Sandy is a little more laid back and just likes to hang out. They are both litter box trained (as much as a bunny can be trained) and fixed. We would love to see them adopted together but they don't seem to mind being the only bunny too. To learn more please visit: https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/42006400-myakka-city-florida-rabbit-mix
Congratulations to Cookie (now Hazel) on her adoption. Her new mom said is loving and affectionate. 🤗 Cookie came to us from Collier County Domestic Animal Services.
The babies are almost 3 weeks old and practically as big as a momma Luna!
Humane society of Tampa Bay. Look at this gorgeous girl! https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/HSTB-A-109645
She is safe! Thank you everyone that helped the Bonita Springs rabbit. 🐰 🥰
Fuzzy Pants flashback. This was the day in 2016 when we rescued her from the shelter. It’s hard to believe she was once so tiny.
Sweet Marcus is enjoying his time in his new foster home. Marcus was one of the Hernando county hoarding rabbits.
Update: Tiana will foster. Thank you. Bunny will be caught asap.
Bonita springs,fl. Abandoned rabbit. Long term foster needed. Owner got rabbit for Easter gift for kids and no longer wants responsibility for him. He’s been living outside since May.

Honey bunny is having a relaxing Sunday afternoon 😍
Tampa area. Very sweet Found rabbit. Foster needed or she’ll need to go to the shelter. Finder cannot keep. Pm us. Love that dewlap!!!
Congrats to Louie on his adoption!! His new family said Anden has been sharing his room with Louis since he came to us. 🤩Kinsley is my daughter, she is the one who saw the Facebook post, contacted, with my help, the woman who saw him roaming outside. She’s the one who gathered the supplies, and actually captured him. I am very proud of both of them.❤️
Louis Vuitton, is now renamed Louie. My son didn’t feel it appropriate to have his rabbit named after a purse.😂

Please sign to save lives- stop breeders for profit
🚨🚨Please consider signing this petition to end the sale of rabbits at Petco stores. A link to the petition can be found at the bottom of this post. Most of these pet stores do not look out for the best interests of the rabbits. They are only trying to make a profit off of them and don't consider the type of home the rabbit will be sold into.
Anybody who has ever been inside a pet store and seen a rabbit in there knows just how neglected they can be in these stores. They are almost always imprisoned in cages that are not the proper size to allow the rabbits space to stretch their legs, may be living in the same space as other small furry animals, and rarely get the sort of diet that rabbits need in order to get all of their nutrients. And don't forget that the rabbits will be on display right next to those tiny, tiny wire cages for sale that are nowhere near large enough for a rabbit to spend their life in, encouraging this type of environment to new rabbit owners.
Pet stores like Petco tend to sell rabbits to first timers who have no idea about the commitment they are entering in to when they take the rabbit home. They do not educate the new owners about the proper way to care for a bunny or give them warning about the vet costs that come with owning a rabbit. Pet stores will advertise rabbits as easy, first-time pets, but anyone who owns a rabbit and properly takes care of them knows this is not the case.
Selling rabbits in stores like Petco is just a recipe for giving a rabbit an unpleasant life. When the stores sell rabbits like this, it is extremely common for the rabbits to be dropped off at rescues/shelters or just abandoned outside to fend for themselves.
The following link can be used to access the petition, and it only takes about a minute to fill out. Please help us fight for these rabbits so that they can live the lives they deserve. Every voice counts!

Miami. Courtesy post, we do not have this rabbit in our care. Gorgeous 🤩2 year old Silver Martin female. If interested please pm and will give the owners info. For rehoming. Owner said she can’t not afford pets and having mental hardships at this time.
We have a chunky one! Her eyes are starting to open first while teeny is still snapped shut.
I wonder what’s the conversation around the water cooler? 🤣

Smokey is a sweet fluffy boy looking for love. This is him with his short haircut. Don’t you think he’s handsome?
Foster or rescue needed asap. Stray brought into Sarasota county animal services. Appears blinded in one eye.
Get the rabbit and hutch. Destroy the hutch so no one else can use that prison and get the bunny a loving home.
Out for a morning spin. Welcome Freckles to the rescue. He’s a nine week bilateral splay leg but otherwise hoppy and healthy. We got a message from a very worried shopper at Rural King that saw him in a cage. She thought his legs might be broken. Fortunately we were able to rescue him and are encouraging the store to stop buying rabbits from breeders! Here’s more on his condition http://www.disabledrabbits.com/splay-leg.html
