HELP!

Hi I am Alexander –will you help me?

* Alexander- Just added to death row - The shelter says I will not be held past 1-23!  (I was luck I got an extension from 1-21. Call Heather to find out all details (my size, all that stuff) to arrange free transport to your door.

Well, the Haven advocates say I am gorgeous with blue eyes and lovely Dutch markings.  Ok, so what, I was a little frightened when I came in -I just thumped.  Gosh!!!! You have no idea what I have been through-nor do they. I am not at all aggressive -I do not bite. I am learning to use the litter box.  So Glad for that thing - Nice to have a bathroom!  

I am a clean boy.  I need to be neutered so Auntie Heather said she would send up a neuter certificate for me is you save my life.  Will you save me please?

I at least think I deserve a chance. I am astonished – and I disapprove of death, especially mine! Common, there has to be someone, some place for me to has a life. I am awesome my advocates said so - Sarah picked me up today and I was just fine. As you can see,  I am a handsome Dutch boy -I came in with  my sibling (we are twins) but they took her away from me  ) ; =   I am grateful at least they do not have her on the list. 

So will you please call Heather for me -any ideas?  Share please. 

 I have such a short time frame -I feel on edge.  I do not know what death is.  But it does not sound good to me.  I heard the rabbits talking about it. Everyone here worries about this.  The people here were Talking then when they left all the others bunnies chimed in…. then I was really freaked out. 

The bunnies here say death is a very bad thing. Basically you leave and never come back. I don’t want that, unless I go to a nice home -that would be ok.  But I am smart.   I know that is not what they meant. This is a place they say just down the hall right here at the shelter. Nobunny lives there. 

Really if you can help me act now because I have until the 23^rd that is this coming Wednesday according to the calendar people. Call, 831 600-7479 (that is a phone) or mail on the computer director@therabbithaven.org

Bun In Need

Sweet Douglas

Injured bunny from shelter makes His new years wish

“Please save my life”

The Rabbit Haven and SaveABunny have come together to save precious Douglas who is scheduled to be euthanized 12-31.  He needs our immediate help!  He needs rescue, neuter and major dental work, then he needs a loving home. Look at him.  He is so lovely. Please help.

Join the match program to help him reach his goal.  

Match funds avail now are 250.00$!!!

Douglas is a small gold and white bunny who was abandoned at a shelter just after Christmas. Sadly, this beautiful, loving boy who would rather have pets than food, has a malocclusion.  This put him on the euthanasia list at his shelter right away. He has extra long front incisors.  The good vet at the shelter trimmed him teeth but they will grow out soon.  Dental extraction is his best option.  We already found a great price!!!!

We want to help him.  Not only to rescue him, we plan to have his dental surgery and then he will be available for adoption.  Our special vets have agreed to take care of the teeth and a neuter for only $600.00 (that is a very small price to save his life)!

Right now Little Douglas is just sitting at the shelter- We have asked for an extension but do not know if it will be granted. Kelly from the shelter will call me soon.

• Foster:  Douglas will need an immediate foster site- (SAB has offered him a space).  But, we must secure the funding for his surgery.  
• Money for surgery:  Look what we have now!!! We have a special generous offer of $250.00 match funds avail. This means that if you donate any amount up to $250.00 it will be matched dollar for dollar.  Then we will be well on our way to achieving our goal of 600.00.  We already have $100 towards the match.   Help Douglas –Send in your match right away.  Good timing anyway- Donations are deductible. http://therabbithaven.org/cash_donations.htm
• Adoption:  Please contact us if you can offer this loving boy a forever home.  He is an amazing boy.   After begin abandoned and undergoing two surgeries we want him to have such a special loving home. 

So for only $600.00 will save the life of Douglas. Do you want to help his New Year’s wish come true? He is the sweetest little boy.  Call Heather at 831 600-7479 11 Am to PM   

Douglas will be leaving the shelter just as soon as I can get him out.  We will cover transport, keep working to gather funds for his surgery and then will post along with SaveABunny so that he can find a loving home. 

Please help us to save this wonderful bunny in time for new years.

Want to transport?  Can if you can help. 

Love,

Bianca is asking for A Christmas miracle

(She has only until 12-24)

This Beautiful bunny named Bianca, a crème pretty brown eyed girl needs out of the San Jose shelter by 12-24 or she will be euthanized. 

It is heartbreaking to see this info on the shelter needs rescue list – Apparently the shelter is already starting to see the pre-holiday animal dumping. They now have 32 Rabbits!

Power was off yesterday at the Haven –flash flooding all day, so today I received the message giving us only hours to save her -

Bianca needs a miracle- Will it come from you?  Can you post everywhere -Call anyone you know- Help is needed immediately.  We can help with transport if you will save her life.

Bianca is a friendly beauty who is not yet spayed so I will send a spay certificate with her if you can rescue her.

It seems so unreasonable that this sweet friendly girl is on their list- Our staff did not see any issue with congestion no matting of forepaws or sneezing. 

Haven will help with Free spay certificate for her, Transport for her and carrier for her. 

Please help save her life.  Call me ASAP 831 600-7479

The Latest Rescue

Bhutan and Earle Grey enjoy a snack after having a nail trim and grooming.

Rabbit Haven, despite being full to the gills, or is that ears? with bunnies and having to be closed to new fosters because of that fullness, is involved in another local rescue. You can read more HERE.

Trick or Treat

The morning of Halloween,  Mr. Photo  view sat quietly,  resting after a long weekend of work.  He was just sitting in the Haven van, minding his own business,  when all of a sudden a stranger came and grabbed him!   It was a thief!!!  It was so scary...  please read on for the full story 

 

Hi- It is  Mr. Photo  view !  I have had the most frightful day!  

 

This morning I was taken.  I had no idea what was going on...I thought,  Is it a adoption show  on Saturday already???   

I was so confused.  Who was this strange person taking me somewhere anyway?  But I  could not figure all this out ,   and down the road I went ....

 

Finally, after what seemed  like forever,  I was put down (thump),  and then  my case was opened up- This was definitely strange - I was outside!!!! I can see when my case is open you know. 

 

 This was no adoption show!  I did not recognize anything - I guessed this is what they meant by  scary Halloween. Oh my.... 

I did not know what to do.  I just wanted to go home.

 

After being jostled all about and all messed up,  the people went away!  So there I sat  right on the ground  with some other items until I was spotted by a young boy on his way to school.    

Seeing a bunch of items that did not belong behind  his  family car, he called  for his dad.  He found me!   Hurray.  

 

The dad (Hugh),   came outside and carefully picked me up, he gathered all the other items too ...  and then ,   happily Auntie's business card was inside,   so he called her .   Then  he came over to tell her what they had found and helped her put the van back together. He is a  very nice person.  I like him,  especially since he brought me home.

 

 I was never so happy to see my Auntie.  She was  thrilled to see me too and held me close to her.  She checked me for damage and made sure I was ok and whew, I am all together and just fine.   She told me I will never be taken again.  She will make sure of that!  She even talked to the police.   

 

So,  we decided that I now have a place inside of a locked house,  unless I am at a show.  Then, after the adoption show,  just as soon as the bunnies come in, I come in too.  I like that.  I  will be safe forever more.

 

 Well, I am finally calmed down and back to resting now - I have a big show Saturday  in Sunnyvale you know.  I need to let everyone see videos and all the bunnies that have been adopted- I even have a new card!  I have a big job to do. 

 

 Hey Darrel and Karen,  my new  video card is still with me!  yippee

 

 But what a scary Halloween.    Now,  I will  safely  rest up and be just perfect for the FOLT show this Saturday. That is my job you know.   I help people feel happier and let them see how joyful bunnies are too.   

 

I am so happy to be home. 

 

Ok gotta go. 

 

Love,

 

 Mr. Photoview    

Important News

 IMPORTANT NEWS

 

Rabbit Haven is currently CLOSED to new admissions until we can set up new foster sites.

The Rabbit Haven has been inundated with  large numbers of rabbits  the past few months,  especially those from our shelter systems.  The  intake of such a large number of rescues, limited foster space,  coupled with lowered adoptions at shows,  and heavy rabbit dumping in our communities  has resulted in overflows in most of our foster sites.  We have been setting up new foster sites and need even more to  reopen to carry out our services and maintain quality care.  We need to open at least 10  more foster sites before we can  open our doors once again.  This is a heartbreaking decision to have to make and I am hopeful that a few of you will step forward to help Rabbit Haven create much needed space.

 

   Will  you help the  little  rabbits by opening your home and heart to even one bunny?    Please help make the holidays happy days for the bunnies too.    Just think, your foster bunny can have their special Thanksgiving with you.  They will surely be thankful to you for your kindness, and share in your family activity of warmth and love.

 

 Sadly, The Rabbit Haven is unable to  accept new rescues from private parties, wait list returns or even rabbits requiring rescue from shelters  at this time as we literally have no more space.   I am asking each one of you to consider fostering to help the rabbits who need our help.

 

 Or,  if you are fostering,  you can help  by extending your foster time frame a bit longer to give us time to find a place to house the foster rabbit.  This continuance will help us make it through to continue to save rabbit lives, provide good quality of care and adoption services.  

 

If you want to foster with the  Rabbit Haven,  please call right away.  831 600-7479   We have both Marchiaro  housing units and X pens for foster families and full set up packs. We have all the supply you will need and will provide support. We have  babies, Dutch bunnies, lops,  Rex, all types, colors and  sizes.  Please help today.

 

It hurts to need to close our services to shelter rabbits,   especially now when they need us the most.  We are entering November and mid November is another heavy dumping season.    In addition, we are the only rabbit  rescue serving  the  Santa Cruz shelter system and  the  San Jose shelter!   We have already had to decline services to the shelter and also had to decline helping other non profits rabbit rescue groups  that  we  can  usually assist. 

 

 These are  very difficult times for the rabbits.  Please help us to help them. Please Call 831 600-7479 or Email to let me know when you can start.   director@therabbithaven.org 

 

Mid week set up available.  Training avail mid week or at adoptions shows.   Let me know if you can help.
