I wonder if you could contact the House Rabbit Society and ask for assistance. They may be able to set your bunny up with a fosterer until you are in a better situation. The HRS does not rehome rabbits, though. If you’d like I can contact them for you.

Would the person taking care of her continue to do so after you get back and settled? Perhaps you can look at it all again then. Things may look different once you’re home.

Good idea jers!!!

I agree with Petzy. I am betting that the HRS would be happy to help in some way. They may even be able to help set up transport thru rescue networks.

I’m sorry to hear you had a falling out. Would a reconciliation be totally impossible?

Awe.   I hope you can get something worked out.

Oh yahoo groups there was a group that would transport rabbits when they would go to rabbit shows or happen to be in a certain area and pass the bunny to the next person til it reached its destination.

Worked quite well.

I forget the name of the group though.   I got it from a rabbit group that had to do with breeding showing and purebreds.  It has been so long I dont’ even remember my passwords for yahoogroups.

Gosh right when you need something you can’t remember it.  Maybe it will come to me in a day or so.

If you have decided to give her up, I would caution you to go to Craigslist as the absolute last resort. Since your foster person caring for her now is in a town that you know the location of, I suggest doing a search of shelters and veterinarians in that immediate area to relocate her to a place that will care for her properly and rehome her for you. You can also find rabbit shelters on Petfinder.com by putting in the zip code and seeing what shelters come up. They tend to be the no-kill shelters for bunnies, so you can probably find a good place or network of fosters via their site too.

Craigslist is frequented by snake owners who want small animals for food, and won’t hesitate to lie to the person placing the rabbit to obtain it. It’s scary. I wouldn’t want that to happen to yours.

That is so great to hear!!!! How exciting!! I hope it all works out well for you and Bun! *cheers* Be ready with a camera though…we do start poking and prodding for photos rather quickly!

I am so pleased to be hearing this, great news!!  Do you mind saying what the name of the rescue group is?   Fingers crossed it all goes ahead smoothly for you and Bun.

Yay! So pleased for you – and excitedly waiting for reunion stories/pics!

I know this doesn’t help much but my Husband & Son are visiting family in Washington State & in Northern Oregon- Hood River. They will be driving back to the East Coast on I think around November 15. I am not sure where you live but he could probably pop a bunny in the truck on their return trip. He pretty much goes through Idahon, Montana, Wyoming, Indiana, on through to Eastern North Carolina. Plenty of states in between there as well. I think his route will depend on weather & of course road construction which he hit in almost all states going out to the West Coast. Just let me know if that helps or not. you can email me at [ edited by rabbitpam:  kel3dogs at gmail dot com].

It is nice of you to make the offer. Just letting you both know that posting your email address here is risky. I have rewritten it so the phishing scanners don’t grab it, and you can both contact each other from now on via our Message Center. Just click each other’s profiles to get a message sent, or go to the message center, compose a message, and select each others’ user names from the drop down menu. It’s safe, so if you do that, you can simply delete the email address written here altogether. – Rabbitpam

I just remembered the name of the yahoo group

Rabbit relay.     Finally came to me.      You can take a peek and see if it would work for you

OMG… at first when I was reading this I was thinking “what’s wrong with craigslist? I found all sorts of cute bunnies!” and now I’m horrified… I never thought of using craigslist for snake food! That’s horrible!!  I bet they do it cause the bunnies are free  

Sadly that’s often true. It’s actually not greed to set a posted fee for your bunny, like about $40 (you can always add cage, food, etc.) but the effect is to keep the people who are looking for a free/cheap pet, and therefore are cheap about caring for them properly, from contacting you if you ever post. I don’t rule out Craigslist completely, but it can be much more risky than other sources. Once you have been contacted by an interested owner who is willing to pay a solid fee, you can always lower the price for them if it’s going to be a good home.

Fortunately, it looks like it’s a moot point for this thread!
