Met a person at church who is keeping her "pet" rabbit that she no longer wants in a cage on the HOT patio -- actually, the rabbit NEVER did live inside because "it's dirty." In another words, she has to clean up after the rabbit, so it's "dirty!"

I don't know about rabbits, but I imagine that living out there in our 104 degree temps -- heat index 110 or so -- IS NOT GOOD and dangerous!!! !!

I want to get that poor rabbit into a home that will CARE! IS there anyone who can rescue this poor rabbit who may die out there from heat stroke???? Any rabbit rescues that can help this little guy/gal??

Please let me know ASAP -- Julane @ 404 290 8261 or julanec@mindspring.com

Hello, Julane.
What an awfully sad story, but unfortunately one that is common fto small animals.

First, you must contact Animal Control/Humane society(s) in our area regarding this situation.

Secondly, contact the House Rabbit Society(www.rabbit.org) and find a local rescuer in your area who may be able to foster the rabbit.

However, if the person is willing to surrender the rabbit to you, I would take it ASAP and again, contact your local shelter, me, or a rabbit expert via best friends to get advice on proper rabbit care. You could at least foster the bunny until a permanent home is found. PLEASE do not wait if you sense urgency in this situation or feel possible neglect is occurring. The rabbit could die of heat stroke, a heart attack, dehydration if left out in the heat without proper shelter, water etc. as you well know.

Good luck and go save the bunny!
