More new fosters...

[Andrea]

Yes, you read correct, Andrea the crazy has brought not one but TWO new rabbits into her home. And they are the cutest little bunnies ever!

SARSBC has not had a good month, we have had many rabbits and other animals come back from foster and ADOPTION homes, same ol excuses "We're moving" etc.

So Linus and Muffin are back into foster care after living in their 'adopted' home for a year They are the sweetest little guys and will be staying here with us for a month, until their more permanent foster home moves into their new place or maybe into a forever home, who will actually keep them 'forever'.

They are two Lion heads, Linus is the white/gray and Muffin is the dark gray.

Now as much as it makes me sad/mad that these guys and others have been re-surrendered, I am so glad the families brought them back to us, as our adoption contract requires. Because this month we got a call from the SPCA, as a rabbit had been found 'stray' and it's ear tattoo came up as a SARS bunny. Sure enough this little guy was adopted out 3 or so years ago, but from probably a volunteer who no longer is with us, and we are unable to find the paper work to who this bunny was adopted to, otherwise we would have them charged with animal abandonment.
The little bunny found had a broken leg, it was in so many pieces it could not be repaired, but had to be removed. Not only that but the SPCA gave SARS the bill for the initial emergency exam, and then we had to pay for the surgery and such afterwards.

So for anyone who volunteers with animal adoption, please, PLEASE check the homes the animals are going to throughly and make sure to get ALL the paper work. Whomever owned that little guy should not have been allowed to get away with what they have done
No matter how bad your situation is, abandoning an animal is never an option.

Sadly, some people actually DO move and CAN'T keep their animals. A number of owners I am sure are much saddened by it. If it ever happened to me I'd be broken-hearted, but I would make sure to contribute money to those who adopt to assure the treatment of my pets.

People like you help restore my faith in people, at least partially.

One of the rescues groups I cited in Animal Rescues, SCAR, has really been annoying being very hard to reach by phone despite having their phone number at the top of their page. I have gotten many animals as they cannot be reached; worse, I am sure some animals got dumped.
Frustrating, and needlessly so.

Your bunnies are sweet. Baby and Bubba look kind of big?

Wait until you see the photos of my four rescued kittens I added several hours ago!

Great job with re-rescuing the bunnies, Andrea. I can see why they call them Lion Heads. Both of them look like nice bunnies.

I hate when people just throw pets onto the street, is it that much trouble to drive to a shelter and drop them off? Argh. Our animal shelter, Animal Welfare Association, always makes sure where the pet will be living, etc, and if it's not up to their standards they don't allow the person to take home that animal.

>> I hate when people just throw pets onto the street <<

Do more than hate--report it! It is a crime, and the ASPCA should be informed.

Animal abandonment is a crime.

[Hamsters82]

I can't report it as I see it on tv, hear it on the news or from others. But if I knew someone who did it I would.

[Die Fledermaus]

I mean when you personally see it happen.

I have told store owners who have let young cats and even a kitten roam loose on the streets that it is something the ASPCA would not like. I said it nicely. They listened.
