  I have received this email and been asked to Cross Post:
  
  URGENT!! Northern CA:
  
  Alfred the Great has been a wonderful rabbit over the last three
  months at the shelter, but he’s also high-energy and needs an
  adult-only family who has time to thoroughly exercise him so that he
  doesn’t go nuts. Right now he is in a small cage at the shelter and
  although he’s normally our most social, playful bunny, he can be
  irritable when he smells another male rabbit or is overstimulated.
  
  Our
  local Santa Cruz shelters have survived two huge rabbit confiscations
  and three major fires (plus 14 small ones) in the last three months.
  
  Alfred will be the first rabbit to be PTS due to lack of space, on
  Monday, Aug. 4th.
  
  The song on his You Tube video is “Not Going to Get Us,” but he won’t
  have a chance to run if he’s PTS on Monday evening. Video:

  Alfred the Great is a young Himalayan boy: white with gray ears, gray
  tail, and ruby eyes. He is only six months old and is very antsy to
  get out of his small cage. He likes to stick his nose out so that
  everyone will pet him. He doesn’t mind dogs or cats at all and has
  lived with them in his foster home. He would do best in a home without
  children, but the adults can ACT like playful children as long as they
  are responsible. Indoor rabbits can live 10-15 years with proper
  nutrition, exercise, and vet care. If you are able to commit to that,
  Alfred will provide the entertainment and remind you of the important
  things in life! He has tons of energy and needs more space than he
  currently has. He will run laps around your house and leap into the
  air when he is happy and excited. Alfred would be the perfect rabbit
  for someone who is bored and able to entertain and exercise him for
  several hours a day. He can’t stand still for long, and his enthusiasm
  for life is contagious. If you are depressed, you will have a hard
  time keeping a sad face while you watch him play! Although Alfred is
  in Santa Cruz, California, we can help arrange transport to other
  locations if you think he is the right bunny for you.
  
  It is important
  for him to find a home by Monday evening or he will be put to sleep.
  Please email me if you are interested in adopting Alfred the Great:

  This is Northern California, one of our shelters in Santa Cruz county. I had not heard of this situation with Alfred before, this shelter is notorious for pulling the “we’ll kill him if you don’t rescue immediately’ business. I’ll try to find out more.

  Alfred is in one of the shelters that we pull from. We are watching him very closely. We put him on a “rescue hold” today, which means unless someone at the shelter screws up big time he is safe for another day or so. We have an adopter lined up, the issue is getting the shelter release and transport lined up.
  
  Here’s Alfred:

  Alfred is safe! He was rescued by The Rabbit Haven, and he is a Haven bunny now. We managed to pull him just a few hours before they were going to kill him.

  Gosh isn’t he precious?? *stares* He reminds me of Wiz and Momiji…the bunnies who were abandoned with Mimzy.
  
  Oh Sarah, do you think we could share him? ^_^ He can come up here in the summertime to stay cool and I’ll send him back down to you when it’s too cold up here?
  
  I do hope he finds his forever home. He sure looks like a chummy boy! ^_^
