Program areas at Erie Area Rabbit Society and Rescue

Adoption services: 62 rabbits were adopted in 2023. There were 94 rabbits in the organization's care at 12/31/23. All rabbits are spayed/neutered prior to adoption and vaccinated against rhdv. The rabbits receive veterinary care as medical needs dictate. Generalized care is provided by local veterinarians, while specialized care requires travelling to out-of- state exotic veterinarians. We also provide bunny sitting services as space allows and routine spa days are scheduled to brush and trim nails of adopted rabbits. Ongoing public outreach includes trips to local schools, senior centers, rehabilitation centers, and other community programs to educate the public on the proper care of rabbits.
Living environment: the shelter rabbits are housed in l/xl size dog crates and exercise pens. Their living areas are cleaned daily. The shelter's floors and walls are cleaned with disinfectant. A heating and cooling system provides proper temperature and humidity in each of the shelter buildings. A preventative maintenance program is in place for the air exchange system and the emergency generator. The shelter's security system is monitored for the safety of the rabbits and the volunteers.
Daily care of shelter rabbits: the shelter rabbits' diet is comprised of hay and pellets. Unlimited amounts of high-quality local and sourced timothy hay, orchard grass, and alfalfa hay are fed daily. Pellets are top-quality and timothy-hay based. Fresh water is provided 24/7 with bottled water given to those rabbits with specific medical needs. Leafy greens and herbs are provided 4-5 times per week. Fresh apple branches are fed to help with teeth. Nails are trimmed and rabbits are brushed as needed. The rabbits get frequent exercise time in the gazebo and enrichment toys are provided.
