Hoppy Mother’s Day!
Wisconsin Humane Society Offers
Waived Rabbit Adoption Fees with Kit Purchase

MILWAUKEE – The Wisconsin Humane Society currently has many adoptable rabbits looking for homes. Rabbits are sure to make your Mother’s Day ‘hoppy’ and extend the joy throughout the years. This weekend, every rabbit adopter who purchases a kit, which includes aspen bedding, timothy hay, Oxbow rabbit food, a water bottle, a ceramic dish, an Atomic treat ball and a toy, will have the $15 rabbit adoption fee waived!

Could a bunny be the companion for you? Check out the Wisconsin Humane Society’s top ten reasons to adopt a rabbit:

1) All of the rabbits at WHS have been spayed or neutered, microchipped, given initial vaccinations and a health exam.
2) Rabbits live an average of 8 to 10 years, giving you a decade of joy!
3) Rabbits are social, entertaining companions!
4) Many rabbits are litterbox trained!
5) Rabbits are very clean animals and rarely need bathing.
6) Once a rabbit knows his name, he’ll come running for a pet, kiss, or treat!
7) You’ll never have to take a rabbit outside in the middle of the night.
8) Adopted rabbits go home with a certificate for a free veterinary exam!
9) Rabbits often do great in pairs – WHS offers bunny dates to find the perfect match for your rabbit!
10) A bunny will be your best buddy!
