These rabbits are ready to hop into their forever home

Are you looking to expand your furry family?

Of course you are and the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria has a number of fluffy rabbits up for adoption!

“If you haven’t considered a rabbit as a companion animal, you should,”said AWLA spokesperson Erin Shackelford. “While dogs and cats remain the popular choice for companion animals, rabbits can make amazing and loyal friends.”

Here’s just a few reasons why:

  • 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
