The Permanent Foster plan.

Your provide the care and loving home. Housing and feed can also be provided in certain cases. For more information call 604 612-7699.

Dear Adopters,

We all want the prettiest, liveliest, friendliest bunny; the youngest one; the "best" one. But please consider the bunnies that need you the most; the older rabbits, the bunnies who have known hard times and are sad; the rabbits with minor medical problems that no one wants to bother with; the shy bunnies who need someone to spend quiet time with them. These rabbits really need the love you have to give. When these bunnies respond the reward is great and your heart is uplifted. Many will be lovely companions given a chance. Please do not overlook the "not-so-perfect" Special Needs rabbits. You may be amazed.
