News on Rabbits Pets

2009-01-03 / Economy hurts pets, humane society

Overall, in 2008 the shelter received 3,500 dogs, 3,200 cats and 700 handheld pets such as rabbits and gerbils. Adoption rates have been mixed. They were down in October and early November until the shelter offered two pets at the cost of one fee.

This is just so sad. Every time the economy takes a nose dive the pets suffer horribly. People have been leaving their pets as they abandon the homes they cannot affford anymore or if a job is lost or money gets tight it is usually the pet that is hurt. I have 3 cats from shelters and 1 German Sheperd that is a rescue kid and my heart goes out to these folks that dont want to let their 4 legged friends go but dont have a choice.

2008-12-29 Worthing animal rescue charitys busy Christmas - Littlehampton Today

They already have more than 50 cats, 35 rabbits and 25 dogs that they have picked up in recent weeks, but they cannot find new homes for them until after Christmas as Billy said it would not be fair.

Billy thinks the reason for the influx of unwanted pets is partially down to the credit crunch, but also due to people being busier at Christmas and not having the time to spend caring for an animal.

Billy Elliott and Vikki Turner are currently taking at least six calls per day from people saying they can no longer look after their pets.

2008-12-24 Families are sought for furry friends in Monterey County The Salinas Californian

The ongoing foreclosure crisis has left more dogs, cats and rabbits than usual without a family for the holidays, prompting Monterey County Animal Services to offer incentives for adopting pets.

Mondays population included a diverse array of animals including Juanita, a bunny rabbit, and Wilimina, a white-haired Chihuahua that raised its ears as it mugged for the camera. Since the inventory of pets changes daily, people interested in adopting should check frequently with Animal Services.

During its 2008 Home for the Holidays campaign, Animal Services will waive the spay or neuter and vaccination fees, plus insert a micro-chip for tracking their pets for free. The campaign continues through Jan. 2.
