Help Dustin Casey

We would like to introduce you to Dustin Casey. “This lovely, sweet bun came into foster care as a cruelty/neglect case after being attacked by an aggressive, unsupervised dog in the home. Dustin is a young unneutered male, 5.5lbs and looks to be a Palomino. He has a handsome tan/orange color, trusting eyes and is easy to handle.

Dustin is a tranquil guy, unfortunately for him, his owner did not understand the gentle care rabbit’s need and the nature of other animals and allowed unsupervised play between the dog and Dustin Casey, resulting in Dustin experiencing a severely broken hind right leg. Upon its discovery the owner did not provided veterinary. Luckily for Dustin, a guardian angel wasn’t far away, heard about his situation and was able to get him out of the home.

His leg is broken in 2 places and is wrapped for stabilization in the hope that he will heal and regain use of it. The wrap will be on at least 6 weeks. He will then be re-examined. We hope he does not need an amputation, but only time will tell us Dustin’s fate.

We are raising funds for his medical care”. We also need a more permanent foster or adoptive home for him. If you could find it in your heart to help support Dustin through his recovery and beyond, please go to our “Sponsor a Bun” page and send your donation or maybe you can find a place for Dustin in your heart and home and would like to either foster or permanently adopt him, then please let us know at: www.therabbitresource.org

Want to Give up Your Rabbit?

We are usually inundated with requests to take injured, neglected, abandoned/stray, sick or shelter overflow rabbits. Given that our foster home number is limited, we have had to prioritize intakes to those groups. Many people also write asking us to take their pets, as they've not realized the level of care or attention bunnies need, or they have not spayed or neutered, they have impulse-purchased, they are moving and have not planned for their animals, etc..

We regret that this is impossible for us to do except in the most dire circumstances (such as terminal illness). Sometimes becoming more educated about your rabbit will solve the issues you are having; we can advise with that. We can refer you to vets who spay and neuter. We can refer you to shelters in your area with good rabbit adoption programs.

If you must surrender your pet.
