Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late for love!
As it is February and Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria has a number of fluffy rabbits up for adoption.
“You may not have considered a bunny as a companion animal, but they make amazing and loyal friends,” said AWLA spokesperson Erin Shackelford.
A few reasons why rabbits make the best companions:
- They’re quiet and don’t take up much room — perfect for city living
- Rabbits form strong bonds with their guardians
- They can be as cuddly as a dog or cat
- Rabbits can be litter box trained
- Their schedules match ours. They’re most active at dawn and dusk.
- They are full of personality and character
- Despite their small size, they live longer lives — around 10 years is their estimated life span
