This is what a capacity crisis looks like.
Yesterday, someone told us they had reached out to about 50 places trying to surrender their bunnies after falling on hard times. They did not feel comfortable returning them to the breeder they came from. While many places responded, none had room to help.
Today, we had a shelter in another state reach out asking if we could take a rabbit because placement options were limited.
At the same time, baby rabbits continue to be bred and sold as pets while rescues and shelters struggle to keep up. We also understand why some people are hesitant to surrender back to breeders- from concerns to them being killed (we see some breeders brag about it online)- to being taken outside during the heat they are not accustomed / built for.
Rescues are full. Shelters are stretched. More rabbits need help than there are places able to take them.
