About Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit
Rescue Services
Luv-N-Bunns utilizes a network of foster homes to house the animals until they are adopted into a permanent home or in the event they are unadoptable, they are fostered until they can be moved into a rabbit sanctuary. Foster care provides the animals with a home in which they can receive socialization and rebuild the trust of the animal. A big part of our goal is to educate pet owners and to work with them to find a solution to their pet's problems so that are not surrendered to the local shelters.
Luv-N-Bunns volunteers will patrol the local shelters weekly to locate rabbits, who would otherwise be euthanized for no reason other than lack of room at the shelter. Without our weekly assessment of the animals in the shelters, many of these animals would be euthanized because the shelter does not have the available help to provide for daily medical treatment or does not have the knowledge of how to properly handle and socialize a rabbit. We provide these rescued rabbits with medical intervention and some socialization in order to becoming adoptable. To volunteer your services, start by downloading our Volunteer Application Form (A .DOC file). Thank You!
Our Pet Rescue Services
Fostering:
Would you like to experience the rewards of caring for a bunny rabbit, cat, or kitten that greatly needs your help, and is cute and entertaining in return?
Many times when we rescue bunnies, we need to to help them heal and learn to trust humans again, so we make arrangements for their foster care. Each year, Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue has over 40 rescued animals that need to be fostered before they are ready for adoption.
Foster parents spend time with the bunnies, socializing them and gaining their trust so that they can once again enjoy the companionship of humans. When you foster, in exchange for your time and love, Luv-N-Bunns provides you with necessary supplies, pet medical, so you can feed, house and care for the bunnies.
Many people serve as a regular foster parents for our rabbits, or serve as a short-term foster parents during our busy times-- such as shortly after Easter.
Relinquishment (Intake):
We need Volunteers to help rescue rabbits from local shelters, to feed rescued rabbits, and to help people fill out a needed Relinquishment Form. Our intake volunteers help take rabbits to veterinarians, so the rescued rabbits can be given a general health evaluation. Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue can then decide what people would need to provide the rabbits they foster or adopt.
If you must give up your rabbit, please download our Relinquishment Form (A .DOC file), and then Contact Us.
Adoption:
Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue places more than 30 rabbits in adoption every year, and several cats and kittens. Luv-N-Bunns strives to find permanent adoption homes for our rescued pets. We make an effort to match the desires and capabilities of a prospective adopter with a bunny's personality and specific needs.
We attempt to make our adoption process as pleasant as possible. Our adoption counselors screens applications, performs landlord and veterinary checks, visits the homes of prospective adopters, and provides adoption follow up via telephone. We are available to answer any questions from applicants and adoptive parents. To get started toward adopting a needy rabbit, please download our Adoption Application Form (A .DOC file), and then Contact Us. Thank You!
Applicants are welcome to make an appointment to meet available bunnies. All our bunny rabbits receive a medical evaluation, any needed vet care, and spaying or neutering (if old enough). Adoption fees help offset a portion of our program costs. Volunteers who are not able to foster are asked to help with adoption counseling and coordination. This could involve screening applications, doing landlord and veterinary checks, home visits to foster homes or prospective adopters, adoption follow up via telephone.
PetFinder.com provides listings and photos of Luv-N-Bunns rabbits and cats available for adoption.
Outreach:
Public Outreach:
Luv-N-Bunns Board Members and Volunteers host or participate in several outreach events throughout the year. Luv-N-Bunns volunteers will attend several outreach events throughout the year. This allows us to educate the public on the importance of spay/neuters, litter training and proper handling of rabbits as well as raise donations for pet care.
We have performed outreach at partner companies (such as Petco), at community day events, and public libraries. Outreach events allow us to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering our pets, pet feeding and litter training, as well as the proper handling of rabbits, cats, and kittens. We also take the opportunity to seek new volunteers, and to raise donations for pet food and supplies.
Learn more about our Our Special Events. We also can be contacted by Phone (610) 999-2694 or Email Contact Us.
Pet Education:
With the launch of our new website (at www.Luv-N-Bunns-Rabbit-Rescue.com), Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue is providing a full page of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) , with answers to questions that pet foster parents, adoptive parents, and rescue volunteers often have. Please continue to visit our website, as we add more online pet education resources for your enjoyment and enlightenment.
As part of our Outreach Events, we commonly have available useful pamphlets on how to properly care for a pet rabbit or cat, when and how to get spaying and neutering services for our pets, and tips on necessary vet care.
Further, Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue has recently formed a partnership with the Vanguard School in Broomall, PA. The purpose will be to develop educational programs to teach their students compassion for animals and what a rabbit kept as a pet needs for better health and quality of life. The programs also will provide students with hands-on experience in how to care for a pet rabbit. Please Email Us to learn more about our Pet Education events.
Public Relations:
Our Board Members, with the assistance of willing Volunteers, prepare and distribute advertisements and educational materials to inform the public of our rescue programs and special events. Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue hands out and mails out informative flyers and exhibits posters in efforts to encourage members of the public to foster or adopt our many homeless rabbits, cats, and kittens. We prepare press releases of our events, and publish them in the local papers and the newsletters of some of our partners.
We are always seeking more volunteers are to attend our pet fostering and adoption events, and to participate in our community and public service events. Come on out, have some fun, and get a free Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue for helping out!
Daily Operations:
Both our Volunteers and our Board Members are actively involved in the daily care of our rescued rabbits, cats, and kittens. This includes procuring pet food and other supplies, feeding both healthy and sick rabbits, cleaning cages, and taking rabbits for vet care.
Daily activities also include showing new pet foster parents and adoptive parents how to best care for their animals, counseling them on when vet care might be needed, and on how to prepare a safe, healthy environment to receive their new pets.
Volunteers are always welcome to help with the transport of buns from various points throughout the U.S. that need to be relocated because of abandonment, hoarding situations, cruelty situations and more. A network of people join together to get the rabbit transported from the point of origin to a place where they will live the remainder of their life. LNB takes pets to sanctuaries, or foster homes so they can be cared for prior to adoption.
Fundraising:
Luv-N-Bunns Rabbit Rescue holds fundraising projects and events throughout the year to help meet veterinary expenses, to fund special projects like animal relocation, or to contibute to the "Make mine Chocolate" campaign.
Luv-N-Bunns accept both monetary gifts and gifts of pet rabbit supplies (such as food, cages, bedding, and other necessities).
Please donate if you can. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the costs of all our pet rescue programs. You can be sure that all donations are greatly appreciated by the bunny rabbits, our volunteers, and our Board Members (who themselves devote much volunteer time to the daily care and rehoming of rabbits).
