Demetri says, “Hey, look at how cute I am! Please pet me! Take me home! I want to be your bestest bunny buddy!”
Salinas Animal Services is being inundated with bunnies this spring! First it was a family of five dropped off, and then some other rabbits were found stray, and now ten have come in who were abandoned in a backyard by a family who lost their home!
Please help! If you have been thinking about adopting or fostering a shelter bunny or three, WE NEED YOU NOW! The shelter is open from noon until 5 pm, Tuesday through Saturday. It is located at 144 Hitchcock Road, just south of Salinas, off of highway 68. Salinas Animal Services is the second shelter, on the left.
Donations can be made to the shelter (earmark for the rabbits) or to the Friendly Farms Medical Fund at the Avian and Exotic Clinic of the Monterey Peninsula. Contact us for more information.
Update 6/16/08: The bunnies abandoned at the foreclosed property continued to show health problems and the shelter made the difficult decision to euthanize them.
These were ‘backyard bunnies’, left outside without adequate food or care. They all had parasites and diseases from malnutrition, exposure, and unclean living conditions. None of them were spayed or neutered, so they bred at will, bringing more babies into the cycle of neglect and disregard.
What can you do to help? Make sure that your animals are well cared for, with proper food, clean water, exercise, socialization, clean and adequate shelter, and vet care. If you see animals who aren’t being cared for properly, talk to their guardians and give them referrals and information. Call your local animal control (Monterey County residents can contact Humane Investigations at the SPCA) for help in handling serious, on-going neglect or abuse of animals. The ASPCA has an information page about animal cruelty.
We here at Friendly Farms look forward to a day when all animals are treated with care and compassion by their guardians, and when shelters and rescue groups have the support and resources they need to assist every animal that comes to them. We welcome your joining us in our animal advocacy.

I am one of the most laid back bunnies you’ll ever have the pleasure to meet. I’m sweet as can be and easy to care for. I like to go out and stretch my legs a bit, and then, on my own, return to my pen for a quick treat and a relaxing nap. I am okay with cats, and I like to be held and kissed. I’m also very tidy with my potty box. What more could you want?

I am an independent, free-spirited sort of bunny boy! I love to run and dig, and will rattle my pen when I want you to let me out! Cats are a lot of fun to chase, so my foster mom says she will make sure that I don’t go to live with any. Darn!
If you want a fun bunny boy who can be a handful, I’m the guy for you! Neat and tidy people need not apply! If you are ready to have some messy good times, then I look forward to meeting you!

I may come across as shy and meek at first, but there is a lively little side of me I will let you see once I adapt to my new surroundings. I am young and have just recently been spayed, so I am still learning to use my litterbox.
I get scared rather easily, so I would prefer a quiet home. But I do like to explore, and hope someone out there will give me a loving home so that I can blossom at my own pace.

Love me, Love me, Love me!
I want company, love and attention. PLEASE don’t leave me alone!
I want to be held and kissed and will love you in return. I like cats and a small garden to explore. I am very good with my potty box, and I love to help clean! My foster mom gets the vacuum hose out and I get so excited!

Are you ready for some sizzle in your life? This lovely girl is full of spice!
Carmen is a gorgeous English spot mix girl who loves to be in on the action! She has many interests that she enjoys spending time at everyday- running, digging, playing with her toys, and redecorating, to name a few. Her favorite thing of all, however, is staying alert to the goings on of the household to make sure she doesn’t miss out on anything!
Carmen would do best with a family who can give her lots of space, and is bunny experienced. We will gladly assist her new parents in discovering entertaining ways to channel her energy into appropriate activities.
For more information about Carmen, please contact us at Friendly Farms. Carmen has been spayed.

Update, May 20: Oliver has healed completely now, and has had his neuter surgery. He is available for adoption to a loving family who wants a fun and energetic bunny! Please contact us for more information.
Hello! My name is Oliver, and I would like nothing more than to come out and play! My foster mom says I still have a lot of healing to do though, so I have to play quietly by myself for awhile yet!
I was found stray and came to the shelter with a huge lump on my side! The vet says it looks like a cat bit me twice, and the wounds got infected. She took 3 cups of pus out of those wounds the first day!
Lots of times young bunny boys like me who aren’t neutered get into trouble with cats because we want a girlfriend really bad, and if a girl bunny isn’t around, we go after the cat! All our humans have to do is take us to the vet and get us neutered when we are 3 or 4 months old, and it saves us all a lot of headaches! And we are better with a litter box once we are neutered as well!
The shelter asked Friendly Farms if they would help me, and so I visited their vet last week and had surgery to remove my abscesses. One of them was very deep and had to be left open so it can be flushed out everyday. The flushing is not fun, and I don’t like the medicine I have to take everyday one bit, but I am okay with the hot compresses and all of the kisses and strokes I get for being such a good sweet boy!
I really want to run and play like young bunnies like me love to! Can you help by making a donation to the Friendly Farms medical fund? They cannot rescue hurt bunnies like me without your assistance! Please contact the Avian and Exotic Clinic to donate, and tell them Oliver sent you!
Oliver will be ready for adoption once his wounds have healed and he has been neutered. For more information, please contact us at Friendly Farms.
