First Coast Rabbit Rescue Inc.

First Coast Rabbit Rescue will accept into its protection any rabbit that has been mistreated or abandoned. The organization does not deny shelter because of disability or disease. All rabbits, after being nursed into optimum health by knowledgeable volunteers and when necessary local vets, are spayed and neutered before being placed up for adoption. FCRR volunteers screen all adopting families to ensure these rabbits will be placed in a secure and loving home. First Coast Rabbit Rescue is not a shelter; it is solely reliant upon the efforts of its volunteers. The rabbits do not live in kennels, but in the loving homes of foster families who see to it that the animals are litter box trained, fed and well cared for, with expenses coming more often than not from their own pockets. For these reasons there is a strict policy regarding our acceptance of rabbits. When bunnies run out of time at local animal shelters, FCRR volunteers take those bunnies. FCRR also accepts bunnies that are rescued by individuals who witnessed their abuse. If you wish to dispose of your companion rabbit simply because it has become an inconvenience, FCRR can provide information to help you find a new home for your rabbit. In cases of extreme emergencies and only if a foster family is open to another rabbit, FCRR will accept rabbits from their owners. In such cases the owners are expected to provide the cage, toys, and other items belonging to the rabbit as well as the funds necessary to have the rabbit spayed or neutered if she is not already. The cost is around $200 per bunny. Due to the impact of so many uwanted and homeless bunnies in the Jacksonville/First Coast area we are unable to accept owner relinquish rabbits at this time. Jacksonville Animal Care and Control will be able to accept your rabbit if you cannot find him/her a home however they are a kil facility and due to the recent tragedy of the Jacksonville Humane Society they may not be able to hold your rabbit for a lengthy period of time. If you feel you need to part ways with your pet due to behavior issues, please try www.rabbit.org for tips on how to manage unwanted rabbit behavior.
