Foster
If you are interested in having a rabbit as a pet but aren’t sure about the commitment of owning your own rabbit, then perhaps becoming a foster home may be perfect for you. Providing a foster home for a rabbit in need gives you the opportunity to help a rabbit without the long term commitment of owning your own. Foster homes are the backbone to our program, without them, we wouldn’t be able to rescue.
Fostering is quite easy.
All that is required of you is that you provide love and care for the rabbit until it finds its forever home.
Some of the foster home responsibilities are:
Provide for the day to day needs of the rabbit. This includes, but is not limited to, hay, pellets, fresh greens, litter, nail trimming, grooming and toys.
- Socialize the rabbit with frequent and gentle handling
- Transport the rabbit for it’s neuter/spay appointment
- Work on litter box training
- Supply general information about the rabbit’s personality as well as updated pictures.
- Be available to answer questions about the foster rabbits
- Be available for prospective adopters to meet the rabbits
- Make at least one follow up phone call to the adoptive home
Some of Luv-A-Bun’s responsibilities are:
- Provide for the spay/neuter of the rabbit
- Provide any needed medical care
- Advertise the rabbit for adoption or sponsorship
- Perform adoption interviews and referrals
- Receive the adoption donations
- Assist in providing cages for foster homes

Hi, I was wondering if I would be able to foster a rabbit. I already own a dutch rabbit and she is great but I want to be able to help other rabbits that dont have homes but not have to keep them. I do have two dogs but they are very good with her. Just contact me and I’ll see if its right for me.
Thanks, Courtney.

Hi Stephanie,
If you are still interested in fostering, please have your mom get in touch. We are always in need of caring and good foster homes. Thanks for contacting us.

I Stephanie, I am sorry, but I just now found this post. There must have been some confusion…you can choose your rabbit and if it wasn’t a good fit, you could always try another (after giving it a reasonable time). We don’t commonly switch but we would if there was a problem. We always ask our fosters to make the long term commitment to their foster bunny until it gets adopted. We provide the supplies and initial consumable products and the medical. If you change your mind let me know
Thanks,
Megan
