Respect, Privacy, Surrenders and Adoptions.

Social Medias can be a wonderful thing.  New Moon Rabbit Rescue would not be able to save half as many rabbits if it was not for the incredible people we have met and the amazing support we have received from our friends on Facebook, Twitter, etc.  We are so grateful to have been giving the opportunities that this has opened up for us.

Unfortunately, as with anything, there can be a down side or negative aspects that one must endure as well.  Over the year’s we have heard of an increasing number of fosters and adopters that because of accessibility on social media, have been contacted by the individuals that have surrendered or abandoned their unwanted pets.  Understandably many of these families are quite upset, angered or even disturbed by these individuals contacting them.  (Please note that although this does happen, these occurrences are still rare)

We would hope that those that surrender, abandon or give up their pets would understand that this is not appropriate but not all do.  Please know that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES have we ever given anyone’s information to other people without the consent of all parties involved.  ALL information provided to New Moon upon adoption/surrender/donation is kept completely confidential.

Having said that, we LOVE hearing from adopters and LOVE seeing updates and pictures that you share with us.  If you are concerned about being contacted, please check your security settings and what info you allow to be seen publicly.  You can also send us your happy homes stories directly and we would so happy to post them on our Facebook (and our website’s Happy Homes gallery) for you, leaving you with a higher level of anonymity.  

If you are someone who has surrendered/abandoned and unwanted pet, please understand that those have taken those animals into their homes, families and hearts may not want you to contact them.  Please respect that.

******

This note is NOT directed at any individual or specific occurrence.  Our hope is that in posting this, we will help someone realise that there efforts to contact or locate their former pets is not appropriate or appreciated by their owners or fosters.  Please do not post comments directed at an individual, please do not write rude or hateful posts in response to this (these comments will be removed).  Thank you.

Hoppy 1st Birthday Sorrel!!

Hoppy Birthday to Sorrel!!  

One year ago today (26 March 2012) while his mother was in New Moon Rabbit Rescue’s care Sorrel was born AND a year later… he is STILL waiting for his forever home.  His sisters and brothers have almost all found homes (with exception of mother and son pair, Rosemary & Dill who ALSO still await adoption) 

but Sorrel still waits....

Sorrel (middle bunny in front!) with his family!
Picture taken 3 May 3012.

Sorrel is a very sweet, lovable and cuddly young man with the cutest little white button nose.  He loves to play, loves to explore and would love a family to share his happiness with.  Sorrel has a lot of energy and loves to be with his foster family (including his kitty friend!).  He is a good hay eater, completely litter trained and would love a home with lots of run time, maybe even free range living!

Sorrel at his foster home...waiting (5 months old)

Doesn’t Sorrel sound like a dream? 

 We think so!!  

In fact, anyone would be lucky to be part of Sorrel’s life. 

If you think he might be the bunny for you check out his Adoption Profile at  and please visit our website at www.newmoonrabbitrescue.ca/adopt and fill out an Adoption Application.

Christmas 2012

 If you are looking for a bonded pair instead, please consider his Mum and brother.  Rosemary & Dill would love to find a home soon too!  We always have bunnies waiting for their dreams to come true, please help us help them!

Events & Fundraisers for March 2013

February is almost OVER!!  There is only a few days left to take advantage of our February special.

This is our 3rd annual "Every Bunny Needs a Home" month at New Moon!  For the month of February we have reduced our adoption fees by 50%.  Our adoption fees help us cover the medical and surgical costs of all the animals that come in to our care.  They help us continue to save them!  We have hopes that offering reduced fees will help us find homes for some of the bunnies that are overlooked and have been waiting far too long for their dreams to come true.  It has been a great success in year's past.

ALL adopters must still complete the adoption application process during this time.
Any adoptions that are currently in progress, "pending", or applications that have already been approved are not included in this campaign.

New Moon Rabbit Rescue Annual Garage and Bake Sale

The New Moon Rabbit Rescue Garage and Bake Sale is very quickly approaching. 

The sale will be held on Friday, May 18 from noon to 5pm and Saturday, May 19 from 8:00am -3:00pm.  It is again being held at the Harry Craig Centre, 6045 Prince Of Wales Drive.

As always, there will be a bake sale as part of this event. We are looking for donations of baked goods to sell. Loaves (banana bread, etc.), squares, brownies, cookies, etc. tend to sell fairly well at this event. But please keep in mind that the bake sale will be OUTDOORS, so it is best to avoid things that will melt if it is warm and sunny! I do ask that all baking be packaged, ready to sell and that it be dropped off to us on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. (If these times don’t suit, we can make individual arrangements.) If anyone is interested in baking, but not sure what to make, best ways to package, etc, please ask and I’ll help you out. If you are able to donate some baking, please let me know and give me an idea of what you are going to make so that I can ensure that we have a variety of items.

Along with the Garage and Bake Sale, we are also having a Plant Sale. If you are a gardener and have any plants that you would like to donate, please let me know! Last year I dug lots of baby perennials from my flower beds and divided a lot of my bigger plants. They all sold really well. We also had some donations of house plants they sold very quickly! If you start your own vegetables and have any extra plants, I am sure that they would sell as well!

Please try to have plants labelled (a popsicle stick with the name written in permanent marker stuck in the soil works well). And if possible (especially for perennials), a photo or description of what the mature plant/flower looks like is helpful!

We are also looking for volunteers for Thursday (afternoon and evening), Friday (all day) and Saturday (all day) and Sunday (afternoon).

If you would like to make a donation to the sale please contact us at info@newmoonrabbitrescue.ca

If you would like to volunteer, donate baking or some plants (indoor or outdoor), please contact Nicki for details! nickimcilree@gmail.com
