February is...Adopt-A-Shelter-Rabbit Month!

The Providence Animal Rescue League (PARL) 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!

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. Visit www.parl.org/adopt/adoptable-critters for more info.

Spay/Neuter Service for your Rabbit!

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.

Adoptable Rabbits at PARL!

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 34 Elbow Street in Providence where Love IS Adoptable. Come find some bunny to love in February!
