Magic Happens Rabbit Rescue is a small network of volunteers who rescue rabbits and occasionally other small pets. while centered in Baton Rouge, LA, our outreach extends even beyond state lines when needed. We offer education through classroom visits, event booths, and adoption screenings, but most importantly, we help unwanted animals find their new “furr-ever” homes. Our rabbits for adoption come from all walks of life. Often they are a child’s pet, and the young caretaker loses interest, sometimes for a new pet, or especially if a young bunny is purchased and it unknowingly becomes an “unruly teenager” a few months later. Others come from animal control, are found wandering neighborhoods after being “set free” by people who no longer wanted them, or even drop-offs at pet stores. A few months after Easter, we often receive entire "unexpected litters" from Easter Rabbits bought without prior research. However, Easter is definitely not the only time we receive rabbits. Sadly, few rabbits that become unwanted end up in rescue. Most often they are given away to another unprepared home, and the rabbit goes through the cycle again. Others are let loose, left to find palatable grasses, avoid dogs and cars, and suffer from mites, fleas, heat, and rain. Rabbits are not as common of a pet as a cat or dog, and are much less understood as a family pet. They are often picked up at a pet store, put in a cage, and no questions are asked. Others are raised as livestock, being left outdoors and not socialized, and sit all alone day after day. Neither situation makes a happy pet, or a happy family! This is where our education mission comes in. MHRR will accept any rabbit that needs a new home regardless of size, breed, health, age, or temperament. We are a no-kill group, and - any animal that needs medical attention receives prompt veterinary care. We do not adopt out rabbits for food, human or snake. We do our best to keep all of our buns in roomy cages or playpens, with all rabbits receiving exercise and playtime -. Hay, pellets and veggies, plus hide-aways, toys, litterboxes and more, are provided.
1. Look through our list of adoptable pets to see who might suit your family's choice of size and personality traits. Each pet has a biography that contains what we know about that pet and their likes or dislikes (i.e good with the litterbox, calm, social, shy etc.). 2. Fill out an adoption application. These questions help us make sure your top choices are a good fit, or help us suggest the best possible suitors. While most of our volunteers are in Baton Rouge, our adoptable pets are housed in foster homes in various directions so we like to get as much information as we can before asking foster parents to bring pets sometimes an hour's drive or more. The application can be completed online, see below to choose the appropriate application for the type of pet you are looking to adopt. Please Note: We do not hold pets for inquiries until an adoption or F2A application has been submitted and approved. Once an application is in we will only hold for pickup dates for 2 weeks out. 3. Once your adoption application has been submitted, we will respond as soon as possible (usually within 2-3 days) with any questions about your application and reply to any questions or concerns. We will also confirm that the foster family has been contacted and is able to bring their foster at the preferred event or adoption day that was indicated on your application, or let you know if an alternate time or date if needed.
