MCRS works with shelters to take ‘overflow’ and special needs rabbits that are not doing well in shelters. Often, all these rabbits need is a less stressful environment, some one-on-one attention, or even just a little more time. Providing a foster home for one of these rabbits can be a very rewarding experience and literally saves a life.
SUPPLIES
MCRS will supply all the equipment you will need:
Enclosure
Litterbox
Food
Hay
MCRS also covers any medical expenses for foster rabbits. Your only out-of-pocket expense is the litter, fresh greens, and veggies you feed your foster rabbit and even that is a tax-deductible donation!
ALL YOU NEED IS
A space in your home for a cage & some play space for the rabbit
Litter & greens
About an hour daily to provide socialization and care
A willingness to learn about the proper care of rabbits
Convenient access to email is strongly preferred
Ability to transport rabbit to periodic adoption events is preferred, but not required
TRAINING
All new foster homes are offered our free Bunny Basics class. These classes cover a wide-range of bunny related topics and are presented at two locations across the metro area.
