ROCKLIN RABBITS!

Update as of June 21, 2009:

While we have over 20 rabbits available for adoption, all but two (2) of the Rocklin Rabbits have been adopted. Oliver and Bandit remain available for adoption at this time.  They are all patiently waiting for their new permanent homes.

Update as of February 19, 2009: 

Leaps and Bounds Rabbit Rescue was called in to assist a local animal control agency with a case involving the seizure of rabbits at the start of this year. A Rocklin resident had a large number of rabbits in his backyard that needed to be rescued, and 18 of the rabbits were seized by law enforcement.

Leaps and Bounds Rabbit Rescue was able to obtain assistance from the Placer County SPCA who took in two of the rabbits for us - thank you Placer County SPCA!, Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue in Arizona who is taking in five of the rabbits for us - thank you Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue!, and we took in the remaining ten rabbits.  Unfortunately, the remaining rabbit making up the initial 18 that were siezed did not survive.  

Many of these rabbits were in good physical condition despite having a few cuts and scars from fighting; however, there were four rabbits with serious injuries and infections and they needed more extensive veterinary care.  Almost all of the rabbits mentioned above needed medical care due to bites, fleas, infections, being out in the elements, and all of them needed to be spayed and neutered.  

Leaps & Bounds Rabbit Rescue would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Sandra McRoberts of PetCare in Roseville, CA for her kind and caring assistance!   

Leaps & Bounds Rabbit Rescue would like to extend a special thank you to the House Rabbit Society (www.rabbit.org) for their kind and caring financial support!

If you would like to donate towards the medical expenses of these rabbits, please send it to: Leaps & Bounds Rabbit Rescue, Inc., P.O. Box 466, Roseville, CA 95661, or you may make an online donation through Paypal using the Donate button.

We are happy to report that six of these rescued rabbits have already found their new permanent indoor home!  A special thank you to our dedicated volunteers, in particular Kathryn, Adam, Andrea, and Jordan! 

The photographs below show six of the rabbits that we have rescued so far and some of their injuries.

MOM AND NINE (9) BABIES!

Updated as of April 18, 2009:

Only Sasha remains with us at this time.  All of Sasha's babies have been adopted to new permanent homes, and Howie and Gina were even adopted together as a bonded pair.  Many of the others were adopted as a friend for another bunny!

Updated as of January 13, 2009: 

In an unrelated case but from the same animal shelter, we also have a mom who just gave birth at the shelter on Sunday, January 4, 2009, to nine (yes, 9) babies.  We have been fortunate enough to find temporary foster housing with SaveABunny for mom and her babies for approximately the next two months, but will need to find space for them after that time.  Eight of of the nine babies survived. 

Update as of January 14, 2009: We are told that the babies are already popping around like popcorn kernels, and that one actually popped out of the nesting box last night!  They do grow fast!

Leaps & Bounds Rabbit Rescue would like to extend a special thank you to SaveABunny (www.saveabunny.org) who has graciously agreed to foster mom and babies for us for two months! 

After the two months, mom and babies will come back to us, we will need to find foster space for them, we will need to have them spayed or neutered, and then we will be able to place them up for adoption.  Given the large number of babies, the spaying and neutering fees alone will be quite costly and donations would be welcomed!  If you would like to help with Sasha and her babies, please visit our Donate button for mailing or PayPal options - and thank you! 

Here is mom, Sasha, and her babies: 

OTHER HOMELESS RABBITS!

Updated: April 10, 2009: 

In addition to the above rabbits, we still looking for assistance with housing (either temporary or permanent) for two rabbits.  These rabbits are currently in foster care; however, the foster space is a bit full at the moment.  We are now able to house 12 rabbits at the PETCO store located at 1917 Douglas Boulevard, Roseville, CA, thank you PETCO!, but with such a large amount of rabbits coming in at once we seriously need help with space and volunteers. 

We are also looking for assistance with veterinary expenses as for the above rabbits.  If you would like to help, please visit our Donate button for mailing or PayPal options - and thank you!
