The Oakville and Milton Humane Society (OMHS) is currently facing a very fluffy problem.
OMHS have reported a large increase in rabbits at the shelter, and the organization is calling for help from the community in adoption and fostering.
Rabbits aren’t like your typical dogs or cats you might have: OMHS says they are like are curious, long-eared puppies that each have their own unique personality and will chew through just about anything they can get their teeth on, so keeping plenty of toys around goes a long way.
Rabbits can be, according to the shelter, "amazing pets with the right care, attention and training to keep them both physically and mentally happy."
All the rabbits that are up for adoption or fostering at OMHS have been spayed or neutered. The animals are also microchipped as well for easy identification if the rabbit is ever lost or goes missing.
The shelter will provide training and equipment for those looking to foster a rabbit. The necessities the shelter will provide include food, a litter box with litter, a pen and bedding, water bowls and more.
