 Adoption Information 1. Look through our list of adoptable bunnies and see who might suit your family's choice of size and personality traits. If you're not sure which rabbit is right for you, let us know what you are looking for in a rabbit, and we'll be glad to play matchmaker, or set up a visit to meet the adoptables and let you choose in person... or see which bunny chooses you! 2. Fill out the Adoption Application and e-mail it to us, along with ANY questions you may have. 3. We will contact you with more information on your chosen adoptable bunny (or help you decide which one to adopt!) and with any questions/comments about the application. The next step is arranging for the picking up/delivery of your new pet! If you are coming to visit to choose a rabbit, come prepared to adopt if you are ready, as there is no waiting period (unless medically necessary, such as recovery from spay or neuter surgery) once you're approved and a time to meet your rabbit is set.If you already have a bunny and are looking to adopt one to bond to your current bunny, we have two options: 1. Ideally, we'd like for you to bring your bunny for some "speed dating" to see if he/she and your desired adoptable get along. If they hit it off, great! If they are fighting from the get-go, we can try somebunny else. If they are so-so, we'll send home the hopeful match as a "pending" adoption and we'll wait to hear back from you on if its going to work out or not. This may take a couple days to a couple weeks, we know all bunnies are different! 2. If traveling with your bunny isn't feasible, we can go ahead and mark your desired adoptable as pending and we'll send him or her home with you after your application has been approved. Usually in this case we hold a check until either you give us the thumbs-up that its going to work out or the adoptable is returned to us. Make sure to bring a pet carrier (lined with carpet, towel or sweatshirt for traction) or cardboard box to bring your new bunny home. Your bun's adoption fee can be paid by cash or check (made out to Magic Happens Rabbit Rescue), or by a credit card via Paypal online. Each adopted bunny comes with an adoption packet with certificate and a "bunny basket." The bunny basket is a safe chewtoy in itself, and comes with a toy or treats, and is filled with fresh timothy hay and food that the rabbit is currently eating - this helps greatly with potential tummy troubles caused by the transition to new food in a new home. Your adoption packet also contains a 10% off total purchase coupon for Petco, courtesy of the Petco Foundation. If the rabbit you are adopting is not already spayed or neutered, we will have it done prior to it going to its new home. We strongly prefer to have the rabbits spayed or neutered with us so that we can observe during recovery and can bring the rabbit to a vet quickly if necessary. If the rabbit you are hoping to adopt is not yet altered, you may still come meet him or her and we can mark the adoptable as pending for you. The adoption fee for each rabbit is listed on their biography pages. This includes ONLY the cost of the rabbit (and its spay/neuter surgery) unless otherwise noted. It does not include its cage or other accessories unless mentioned specifically on that rabbit's biography page. Our adoption fees are typically $50/rabbit or $75/pair. It's important to have the majority if not all of the rabbit's home (cage and litterbox especially) set up for your bun to explore once you get home. Stopping by the store for a quick accessory is OK, but you don't want to be caught without a proper housing if the pet store on the route home doesn't have the right cage available for sale! Our Ultimate Caresheet has a great list of needed and great-to-have items, and our Rabbit Care section has information on different styles of cages and how to build your own, even if you're not a hammer-and-nails kind of person. Occasionally we have cages available for sale. We always keep extras on hand for quarantine, surgery recovery, or for going to events, but sometimes extras are donated when rabbits are surrendered that do not fit in any of our foster homes. We also have almost every accessory you can imagine, from small water bottles or hay racks to a plethora of bunny toys! Depending upon the rabbit, we may have a cage that suits your needs. Please inquire for availability.
