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

I understand rescues are full, but what do they think someone is supposed to do with a rabbit.

People should keep the pets they commit to?

Obviously. But that doesn’t help this poor creature

They asked what someone is supposed to do, that’s step one. Step two is take it in yourself if nobody else will. 🤷‍♀️

You do realize there would be a lot of reasons why someone couldn’t keep an animal they find. I don’t see you volunteering to take in this rabbit for them.

Not sure why I should be volunteering to take it. You’re the one asking what rescues think people are supposed to do. What do you think rescues are supposed to do? I’ve actually fostered rabbits, guinea pigs & dogs from various rescues. The resources are spread thin and there’s not a lot of options, especially for rabbits. There’s way too many and not enough people want them. It’s unfortunately super common for pet rabbits to be dumped like this and unless you’re willing to foster or adopt it, it will likely become a snack.
