March 2007. ~ Spay and Neuter Focus

When Karl returned to the area where he works shortly after New Year's 2006, he saw a lifeless form laying near the street. My husband chose not to leave the rabbit there. The stiff form was relocated to a more suitable resting place.

Many times while caring for the street-rescued adults, this photo came as a flashback. We've got a gut feeling the long rabbit fathered many babies. Karl did not want to come across this frozen scene over and over again. In that neighborhood, rescueing an outcast rabbit is their least concern.

The responsible first step, for any animal owner, is getting your companion spayed or neutered if safe for your pet. "Safe" involves a preliminary exam by a rabbit-savvy vet. Also seek a vet who administers pain medication (before/after) and takes extra steps to ensure your bunny will be fine with the surgery. Rabbits born to abandoned mothers show up at shelters or move to Rescue. Our fosters are *grateful* for all you do to educate and inform, or adopt.

In January petite Lizzie Lou met Barb, via Petfinder, and the two are peas in a pod! Barb sends a hoppy note about her girl.
