Addressing The Challenges Of Rehoming Demand
Rescues across the UK are facing unprecedented demand from rabbits owners seeking help with rehoming their rabbits.
Those reaching out have a wide range of circumstances meaning they are unable to meet the needs of their rabbits, but as they join waiting lists of hundreds of other requests, they can face waits of several weeks or months before organisations such as Beloved Rabbits can offer space within their rescues.
Impacts of Brexit, recovery from the Covid pandemic and now the prospects of a cost of living crisis mean we anticipate the demand will continue to grow.
As the demand grows, and rescues feel the pressure, many rescues have closed their waiting lists, and some have even closed their doors. Unfortunately, that means many owners are stuck with limited options, which increases the risks of rabbits finding new homes through classified ads, social media and private rehoming without any homechecks on welfare assessments.
At Beloved Rabbits we’ve developed our Rehoming Assistance Programme, which will run in parallel with our normal waiting list and foster care network to offer owners and adopters other options to find rabbits in need their perfect forever homes.
For Owners Needing Rehoming Help
Submit A Rehoming Request
By submitting a Rehoming Request, you will be added to our Rehoming Waiting List. We prioritise your request based on the needs described, and when space becomes available within our foster care network we will be in touch to make arrangements for you to surrender your rabbits into our care.
You will also be able to opt-in to take part in our Rehoming Assistance Programme.
Beloved rabbits have been amazing helping us to re home our beloved rabbits due to unforeseen family circumstances. They checked the rabbits were both healthy and have been amazing with correspondence and support.
