Temporary or Permanent Rabbit Fosters
Ongoing
Fostering makes rabbits more adoptable as it keeps them out of a caged environment and allows their true personalities to flourish with one-on-one attention. This increases the chances of finding their Forever Home. VRRA offers two different opportunities for fostering: DEDICATED BUT TEMPORARY FOSTER HOMES: Fostering can be a very rewarding experience and is a wonderful way to contribute to animal rescue. We need homes that will keep rabbits in a happy and safe environment until they are permanently adopted. This can sometimes be for a few weeks but more often it is for several months and sometimes longer. We also have unique foster situations that require more experienced caregivers, e.g. a bunny mother with kits, or a mistreated or neglected bunny that needs a chance to learn how to trust a human again. PERMANENT FOSTER HOMES. Permanent foster homes are for specific, less than adoptable bunnies who keep being passed by. Sometimes this is for one of our senior citizen bunnies, or one with a minor medical problem. In these cases we will cover veterinary expenses and in some cases even food expenses. All you need to do is give the rabbit a loving, committed home.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
• Veterinary services and rabbit supplies provided • Gain hands-on rabbit experience including handling and maintaining proper health • Gain experience working in a small non-profit animal organization • Have support from other fosters and the entire volunteer community • Enjoy a new fluffy companion :)
