17 Rabbits abandoned in a barn
It was a Happy New Year for 17 holland lops that were abandoned in a barn and rescued by a small dog/cat rescue group northwest of Columbus. We got a call about them 2 days before Christmas and started working on finding emergency foster homes for them. Our membership is fantastic and many members offered to open their homes to a needy rabbit.
We were able to go get 5 of them on Dec. 30th and returned on New Year's Day for the remaining 12 rabbits. We quickly worked on getting them spayed and neutered because we were not sure if any females might be pregnant.
As of today, all are fixed except for one of the babies who needed to mature a bit more and is now scheduled for his neuter next Wednesday.
Four have already been adopted and you can see many of the adoptable buns on the website. They are darling rabbits and grateful to become house rabbits!
Thanks to everyone who has made this rescue possible and to those that have made monetary donations to help with their veterinary care.
Now, we just need loving homes!
