Surrendering a rabbit/s

Sometimes, people find themselves in a situation no longer able to look after their rabbits and they may have to consider rehoming. There are various circumstances that may bring an owner to this point however the main thing to consider is how to ensure they are safely rehomed. By surrendering rabbits over to a reputable rescue centre, you are ensuring the rabbits are cared for correctly, given the treatment needed and the right forever homes are found for them. It truly is the best and safest way to rehome.

If you have rabbits you need rehomed, or perhaps you have found yourself with a rabbit you have taken in, or a stray or even an unplanned litter please get in touch with us as well as other reputable rescues rather than putting them on selling sites.

*Be aware that there may be a waiting list and a prioritisation for rabbits entering the rescue but we aim to help as many as we can so it shouldn't be long before we can help.*

FAQ:

Q: How long may I need to wait on a space?
A: A space could become available within a week or two but roughly could be between 4-8 weeks.

Q: What happens when I'm put on a waiting list?
A: You will be contacted when a space is going to be available. Then you will have a date arranged to bring your rabbit/s and their belongings to us. You will have a respond and accept your space available within 48 hours as we cannot hold spaces longer due to the number of rabbits waiting needing help.

Q: What do I need to bring with my rabbit/s?
A: Any vet records, their belongings and if you are able to offer a surrender donation it helps greatly towards their care and treatment.

Q: What happens once my rabbit/s enter the rescue?
A: Your rabbit will initially be placed into quarentine until all the correct vaccinations have been had (ideally you will have your rabbit already vaccinated but this may not be the case). The rabbit/s then have any vet care and treatment they require including neutering, health checks, blood tests, and behavioural assessment. They will have their treatment with us and have time for recovery. They may then stay with us at the rescue or go out to one of our foster carers where they will be cared for until we have matched them up to the right home, bonded with another rabbit/s and been adopted.

Q: Will my rabbit/s go to a good home?
A: Yes, we ensure the rabbits go to their forever homes when adopted. Our adoption process is scrupulous and adopters go through an adoption process and home check. We then stay in touch with all our adopters for support and advice and even have a facebook group to see how they are all getting on. Many of them return and holiday board with us regularly too. If anything should ever change in circumstances, the rabbits would be returned to ourselves.

Q: Will you be able to stay in touch with your rabbit or their new owner?
A: Unfortunately due to data protection laws and policies we are not allowed to pass any details on and the new owners will also have full confidentiality. You will sign a surrender contract to state you hands over the rights to the rabbit/s to the rescue. You can however follow their progress in the rescue including bonding on the Facebook page.
