We have had some problems with our Rabbit Haven recorder with the phone company.  If you leave a message and do not get a return call in 48 hours, please call 425-788-8148 and Angie will get back to you as soon as possible.  You can also send a e-mail to angie@rabbithaven.org.  We are sorry for any inconveniences.

Rabbit Haven is planning some exciting new functions this year.

  We are having a Barn Sale on May 17 & 18, 2008 to help raise funds for the care & medical cost for our bunnies. 

We will be having the sale at the Gig Harbor Grange Hall on the corner of Artondale & Wollochet.  We decided to move it to this location since there is a lot of traffic that goes through this intersection and we will have a place indoors in case it rains.  For any one that would like a tour of Rabbit Haven at a later date, please e-mail angie@rabbithaven.org and we can set up a time for you to visit.

We are accepting donations, especially furniture & other large ticket items.  Please tell  all your friends about it.  We want this to be really successful and are looking for items in good & clean condition.  Your help is very much appreciated and we also hope you will mark your calendars' in May to come visit us.   Thank you.

 

We are planning a fund raiser dinner at the Rusty Pelican.  On September 20 - Saturday- we will be having a dinner and silent auction.  The wonderful people at the Rusty Pelican will be providing a delicious vegetarian menu at their restaurant in Seattle.  We are in the middle of confirming up times and price and will post everything on the web-site soon, so please check back and then mark your calendar's for a great evening that you won't forget!!

Want a relaxed and happy rabbit?  TTouch may just be the answer!

A STORY FOR THE NON-BELIEVERS

It seems any time you tell a "non-bunny" person that rabbits bond for life, they look at you like you have lost you mind.  They act like they can't even consider such a thing.  Well here is a story, that if it doesn't make you a believer, nothing will.  Rabbits do love, care and take care of each other.                                                                                                

I have a wonderful, older little black bunny named T-Bear and a few weeks ago he had a massive stroke.  As he deteriorated, he started having balancing issues and head tilt.  He was unable to stay upright and started going in circle.  His long time mate, Bonnie, went right into action.  Even though she was smaller than he was, she would get along side him and help hold him up so that he could eat and try to make it to his water bowl.  Sometimes he would start to circle and Bonnie just hung in there and went around in circles holding him up until he found his bearings again. 

I am happy to say that with the wonderful care of our vet, Dr Maas, T-Bear is doing much better and back up, still with some balancing issues but Bonnie is always at his side to help him.

A new annex is now open in Carnation.  Angie Green, one of our volunteers has purchased a home in Carnation and turned her large garage into a nice bunny barn.  Right now she is fostering quite a few of the rabbits so now on our adoption pages we will list the location of the bunnies available for adoption, either in Carnation or Gig Harbor.  For people who live up North, this will be an option for boarding, bondings & adoptions.  Rabbits from either Gig Harbor or Carnation can be transported to the other location for people who are interested in meeting them.  Now you will also be able to get supplies such as feed, hay & litter at both locations.  You can reach Angie at 206-351-2637.

RABBIT HAVEN HAS LOTS OF BUNNIES LOOKING FOR A FOREVER LOVING HOME.

 

If you are thinking of adopting, please keep an open mind to what kind of rabbits you would like to make as part of your family.  Too many people just want the cute little bunnies and all the wonderful medium to large size rabbits get passed by.  Most small rabbits are not as friendly as a larger bunny and are they are more fragile.  Small bunnies need to be handle with extra special care and are NOT A GOOD PET FOR SMALL CHILDREN.  Rabbits are prey animals and most of them do not like their feet off the ground, in the wild if their feet are off the ground that usually means they are in someone's mouth or claws. 

Rabbit Haven has all kind of different rabbits for adoption.  Big ones, little one, white ones and just overall wonderful ones.  Please wait to see the personalities and the "chemistry" between you and the rabbits before making up your mind to what kind of bunny you want.  We have some really wonderful white buns with ruby eyes that get passed by but they are some of the more friendly loving bunnies at the sanctuary.  Each rabbit has its own distinct personality and I am sure we can find the right ones for your family.  Please visit our adoption page for more information.
