We will have many beautiful bunnies available for adoption to loving, indoor homes. Bring your questions about living with a house rabbit, or bring your bunny or guinea pig for a free nail trim! We also assist with matchmaking and bunny bonding, if you and your bunny are ready to make the leap to a multi-rabbit household. To see many of the wonderful bunnies who are looking for great homes, click on our Adoptables page!
Update 8/18/08: Giselle is now at Save A Bunny in Mill Valley, waiting for someone to see what a sweet, special girl she is and take her home!
Update 8/13/08: Giselle had her incisor extraction surgery yesterday and is doing great! She is being sponsored by Save A Bunny and will be transferred to their care on Saturday. Donations to help pay for her medical care are very much appreciated.
This adorable little mini-rex girl came to the shelter unable to eat or drink because her teeth were so overgrown! The shelter vet clipped her front teeth so she wouldn’t starve, and Friendly Farms was asked if we could get her the medical care she needs.
Giselle’s incisors will need to be removed. This is a common procedure for bunnies as badly maloccluded as she is. We are in need of donations for her surgery. Please contact the Avian and Exotic Clinic if you can help Giselle by donating to the Friendly Farms Medical Fund.
For more information about beautiful Giselle, please contact us here at Friendly Farms.
Update 8/18/08: Deanna’s incisions are healing nicely and she is available for adoption to a safe and loving home.
Lovely Deanna came into the shelter with a mammary mass. The shelter called Friendly Farms for help, and soon Deanna was at our vet having her spay surgery and the mass removed. The vet found tumors in her uterus, so it is a good thing she got medical care when she did! Over 80% of female bunnies get cancer of the reproductive organs after the age of four if they are not spayed, and having had babies does not reduce their risk.
Deanna is currently resting in a foster home. She will be available for adoption after her incisions have had some time to heal. The vet was able to get clean edges during her surgery, so her prognosis of being cured of cancer is very good, though her chances of getting cancer again someday are a little higher than for the average spayed bunny.
If you can help with Deanna’s surgery bills, please contact the Avian and Exotic Clinic and donate to our Friendly Farms Medical Fund. We can only help bunnies like Deanna through the generosity of our donors.
Contact us here at Friendly Farms for more information about adopting beautiful Deanna.
Handsome Midnight has been given a bad rap! Everyone who meets him knows what an easy going, friendly guy he is, but someone crossed his line, met with his teeth, and that was it for his reputation! Poor Midnight was banished to bite quarantine at the shelter!
We were told he wouldn’t be put up for adoption after he served his sentence, so we put out the word that Midnight needed a safe place to get back his good name. Marcy at Save A Bunny came to his rescue, and now Midnight is waiting for some lucky person to come along, see what a terrific guy he is, and give him a wonderful forever home! He may be a bunny with a past, but his future is looking bright!
Midnight and Marcy get to know each other at Save A Bunny in Marin.
As you can see, Midnight is a BIG bunny! He weighs in at over 11 pounds, so if you like a lot of bunny to love, he’s the man for you!
Melinda and one of her darling babies share some veggies.
Melinda came to Friendly Farms in late May from the Salinas shelter. She delivered her babies 3 days later, and those furry little bundles of joy are growing fast!
We will have Melinda and her six babies at our adoption event at the Sand City Petsmart on July 12th. They will be available for adoption on the 19th. If you have been thinking of adding some rabbity fun to your family, this will be your chance to see if a baby bunny or two is right for your household!
Demetri says, “Hey, look at how cute I am! Please pet me! Take me home! I want to be your bestest bunny buddy!”
Salinas Animal Services is being inundated with bunnies this spring! First it was a family of five dropped off, and then some other rabbits were found stray, and now ten have come in who were abandoned in a backyard by a family who lost their home!
Please help! If you have been thinking about adopting or fostering a shelter bunny or three, WE NEED YOU NOW! The shelter is open from noon until 5 pm, Tuesday through Saturday. It is located at 144 Hitchcock Road, just south of Salinas, off of highway 68. Salinas Animal Services is the second shelter, on the left.
Update 6/16/08: The bunnies abandoned at the foreclosed property continued to show health problems and the shelter made the difficult decision to euthanize them.
These were ‘backyard bunnies’, left outside without adequate food or care. They all had parasites and diseases from malnutrition, exposure, and unclean living conditions. None of them were spayed or neutered, so they bred at will, bringing more babies into the cycle of neglect and disregard.
What can you do to help? Make sure that your animals are well cared for, with proper food, clean water, exercise, socialization, clean and adequate shelter, and vet care. If you see animals who aren’t being cared for properly, talk to their guardians and give them referrals and information. Call your local animal control (Monterey County residents can contact Humane Investigations at the SPCA) for help in handling serious, on-going neglect or abuse of animals. The ASPCA has an information page about animal cruelty.
We here at Friendly Farms look forward to a day when all animals are treated with care and compassion by their guardians, and when shelters and rescue groups have the support and resources they need to assist every animal that comes to them. We welcome your joining us in our animal advocacy.
I am one of the most laid back bunnies you’ll ever have the pleasure to meet. I’m sweet as can be and easy to care for. I like to go out and stretch my legs a bit, and then, on my own, return to my pen for a quick treat and a relaxing nap. I am okay with cats, and I like to be held and kissed. I’m also very tidy with my potty box. What more could you want?
I am an independent, free-spirited sort of bunny boy! I love to run and dig, and will rattle my pen when I want you to let me out!
Once I know that you are a nice person, I will let you pet me. I like other bunnies. Do you have a lonely girl who would like to meet a handsome boy like me?
If you want a fun bunny boy who can be a handful, I’m the guy for you! Neat and tidy people need not apply! If you are ready to have some hoppin’ good times, let’s make a date to meet soon!
I may come across as shy and meek at first, but there is a lively little side of me I will let you see once I adapt to my new surroundings. I have been spayed now, and I am perfect with my litterbox!
I get scared rather easily, so I would prefer a quiet home. But I do like to explore, and hope someone out there will give me a loving home so that I can blossom at my own pace.
