Default Pets for Adoption

Dear Administrator,

Thank you very much for having this lovely website.

I am sorry to say this but I found that many members are putting up rabbit for adoption but charging an adoption for no reason, no deworming, no vaccination and not spayed. To me they are selling their rabbits!

Currently, most of us are concern on the over population of dogs and cats and talk about being responsible. We see a lot of dumping of cats and dogs. How about rabbits? Well, probably end up as delicacy in restaurant or rabbit burger if you want to see pet rabbit ended up this way.

I believe that all pet lovers should take responsibility in controlling the excessive birth. Adoption ads of all pets which are misleading and their advertisers shall be warned and banned if continue to mislead.

Thank you

Hi, Lequiw, and welcome to Petfinder!

I know almost nothing about keeping rabbits, so let me ask some questions:

Is it good practice to spay and neuter rabbits?
Can you recommend some vet clinics that offer good rabbit care?
How about vaccinations? What is the standard?

Petfinder is more than just a clearinghouse, or a place to advertise for new homes. We also try to share information for keeping our pets healthy and happy. If you look at the main page, you'll notice a library section. There aren't many articles, sad to say, on rabbits. If you want to post some, that would be wonderful!

If more of us regular, long-time PF members start to learn more about how to care well for pet rabbits, we'll understand better what to look for in the listings and forum posts and can perhaps pass on helpful information.

In terms of adoption fee vs. sales price, what do you feel is a fair and reasonable adoption fee for a rabbit?

Best wishes to you and your bunnies!

Dear Moderator Maneki Neko,

Thank you very much for sharing your information and some questions.

To be frankly speaking, I have not much knowledge on rabbits too. I have only cats and fish at home. I am sorry that I can't answer your questions and I hope that the rabbits lovers or specialists can help us on your questions. You had raised very good questions indeed.

I am rather sensitive with the word "adoption". When we, the pet keepers give away our pets for adoption, we are basically looking for passionate adopters or pet lovers who can provide better care or someone who can take over our responsibility to take care of our pets due to our own excuses (1001 reasons such as health, children grown up, grown up pets not cute, busy, not enough space, accidentally pregnant, the list just go on). I think our society has become so materialistic that we have to impose an adoption fee (another excuse: cost of feeding them since young, etc) even though we are asking people to adopt our pets . Home shelters (and some rescuers) have good reasons to impose adoption fees and I believe most of us know and find it acceptable.

For me I think, being pet lover myself, we are all friends here. If a friend of us come to us and ask us to adopt his pet because he has no time to take care of him and on top of that ask us for an adoption fee, what would we think of him and we will sure ask ourselves whether it is fair for us.

If these pet lovers want to give up their pets for a fee, it would be appropriate for them to put their advertisement under "For Sale" rather than "For Adoption". I hope we will treat our pet animals under our care as pets and not as merchandise. Be more responsible and caring towards our pets.

Be a caring and responsible society.
(Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone, just share my thought).

Thank you.
