BUNNY DAY At PARL!

Join us tomorrow, Saturday, February 4th!

The Providence Animal Rescue League is proud to announce that February is Adopt-A-Rabbit Month, and we are here to help you find the perfect companion for you and your family.

In 2011, the number of rabbits in need of re-homing doubled from the year before. Unfortunately, many of these homeless rabbits waited a long time and were available for adoption for well over 100 days. In part, we believe it’s because some people may not realize that an animal shelter is a great place to adopt many types of animals. PARL receives not only cats and dogs but also guinea pigs, birds, ferrets, hamsters, reptiles and rabbits.

Bunny Day at PARL on Saturday, February 4th!
In celebration of Adopt-A-Rabbit Month, PARL will be hosting a Bunny Day at the shelter on Saturday, February 4th from 11am-4pm at 34 Elbow Street in Providence. The staff will share with you many resources about rabbit behavior, home set up, diet and care. Owners who are in need of a nail trimming for their rabbits will also be offered a complimentary clipping in exchange for an item from our Rabbit Wish List. The downloadable list is at the bottom of this page

Spay/Neuter Services for Rabbits!
During February, we will also be offering our spay/neuter services to rabbit pet owners. When you call us at 421-1399 to make your appointment, the fee will be reduced to $75.00. During the rest of the year the fee for rabbit spay/neuter surgery is $100.

Looking for a New Companion?
Rabbits make wonderful indoor companions, can get along well with cats and calm dogs, typically enjoy the company of another rabbit and can easily be trained to use a litterbox. The adoption fee for a rabbit is $50.00 and that includes spay/ neuter surgery and a copy of the “House Rabbit Society Care Book.” Come on down to PARL and find some bunny to love!

PARL has new wheels!

Keep a look out in your community for the new PARL Transit! Thanks to a generous grant from the Champlin Foundations, PARL has been afforded the opportunity to purchase a 2010 Ford Transit. We are now able to transport animals for adoption events, visit schools for humane education and so much more. With an incredible "vehicle wrap" from Graphic Innovations (along with a much appreciated discount on services) the PARL Transit can't be missed.

The eye-catching design was created and donated by the Providence based design and marketing firm, Studio 1011. You may remember reading about them last January since they also designed our new website. "All of us at Studio 1011 are long term proponents of animal welfare. Our relationship with PARL has been a rewarding one in that our services lend a helping hand to the benefit of the animals and we also get to work with wonderful people who understand the value of marketing and design. It is an honor to be associated with an organization such as the Providence Animal Rescue League." says Studio 1011.

Our new vehicle gives us more than just great wheels, we can now proudly advertise throughout our community that "Love IS Adoptable at 34 Elbow St."
