　　NO dogs, she gets VERY upset.

　　Sophie is spayed and looking for a forever home! She is a very sweet bunny and lays her head down for scratches! Her black fur is gorgeous and just perfect. She was returned by her adopted family because they couldn't spend enough time with this busy girl and she found things to do on her own. We knew she was an energetic girl when she was with us! Sh

　　e needs daily attention and room to play with her family. She loves being a part of the family. She has a very outward personality and is very loving too. She does love to snuggle!

　　Since she didn't spend much time with her last family, we are working with her to not be upset about that now. She still remembers our Bunny Lady and is doing great. She is back to her noisy self running up and down the ramp in her cage!

　　All our bunnies are indoor-only bunnies and should be indoor-free range, housed in X-Pens or grid-type cages, or a combination to allow as much space as they need to live as they properly should.

　　We have info on X-Pens and how to build a grid-cage for a bunnies. Please feel free to ask and to see the video, visit our site http://decaturbunnylady.blogspot.com/.

　　Rabbit Adoption Policy

　　1. Primary Caregiver: The primary care giver must be the adult in all adoptions with an exotic (sees rabbits) vet already in mind for emergencies. We have determined that rabbits are best adopted to families with older children or no children, because of the energetic behavior of most children under 10 years old, which can often scare or injure a rabbit. This may be on a case-by-case basis depending on the family. The reason the bunnies are at the shelter is usually due to a child's rejection, so we avoid that happening again for the rabbit. Care must be given in handling rabbits in supporting the hind end to prevent them from kicking or struggling which can cause them to fall or break their own backs.

　　2. Indoor Housing: Rabbits adopted are indoor rabbits only, meaning they must be housed inside as part of the family as a small dog or cat would. Rabbits usually get along with the family cat, but it depends on the rabbit's personality whether it can handle a house dog. Some rabbits are very scared of dogs, some could care less, it just depends, as well as with the type of dog. It would be best to have the pets meet to make sure. Rabbits may have supervised outside access in a confined area, much like a small dog, for exercise and fresh air.

　　3. Easter Adoptions: DAS does NOT adopt out rabbits for use as props for Easter photos, or any Easter decorations, or as Easter gifts for children. Any exceptions to this must be made by either the Rabbit Coordinator or the Shelter Director on a case-by-case basis. However, we do continue to accept applications, conduct placement interviews, and educate adoption candidates about bunnies during holiday times.
