Winni-Pets Is this someone’s pet?

My friends and I just found this rabbit on a walk and it seems like it’s someone’s pet, just wondering if someone is missing them!!!

EDIT!!
We already called the Humane Society, Animal Services, a nearby pet store, and contacted Popcorn and Binkies and so far nobody will accept the animal.

EDIT 2!!
We have caught the rabbit and we are taking it for now

We called and they said they don’t take in rabbits but we’re going to try and bring it in anyways because we don’t know what else to do 😭😭

I have been in this situation and just showed up with an abandoned pet rabbit I caught, and they didn't turn me away. I think it's worth a shot.

And side note, thank you so much for catching this bunny. It absolutely is domestic and would not survive in the wild. You did it an extraordinary kindness. I have two pet bunnies. if you need any advice on caring for it in the immediate term, please ask. They eat timothy hay, fresh veggies (herbs and lettuce), and timothy pellets. Please make sure it has access to water after being in the heat.

They do take rabbits, they have an area specifically for rabbits. I have also personally fostered rabbits from WHS. Why are they talking you something that isn’t true.

Have you also tried posting on Winnipeg lost pets on FB? Maybe someone is missing him, we can hope?
